People with OSA have 71 pc higher risk of cardiovascular events, all-cause mortality: Study

Scientists have found that those living with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have a 71 per cent higher risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs) or death from any cause (all-cause mortality) compared with those not living with OSA. New research, to be presented at the European Congress on Obesity (ECO 2026, Istanbul, Turkey, May 12-15), is a collaboration between Imperial College Health Partners; Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, London, UK; and Eli Lilly and Company (Lilly). “In adults, obstr...

Scientists in Australia have found that the human heart is capable of regenerating muscle cells after a heart attack, a discovery that could pave the way for new regenerative treatments for heart failure. The study, published in the journal Circulation Research, shows that while portions of the heart remain scarred following a heart attack, new muscle cells are also formed — a phenomenon earlier observed only in mice and now demonstrated in humans for the first time. Researchers analysed liv...
