Physiology Friday #199: High-Intensity Interval Training Reduces Coronary Artery Plaque

Physiologically Speaking

One of the biggest risk factors for CVD development is the buildup of plaque in the coronary arteries (the arteries surrounding the heart that provide it with its own blood supply). Researchers also measured body mass index, waist circumference, blood glucose (HbA1c) and blood lipids. Cardiac rehab works wonders.

Association between “Life's Essential 8” cardiovascular health and apparent treatment-resistant hypertension among US adults from the NHANES, 2005 to 2018

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Compared to subjects with low CVH, participants with moderate and high CVH exhibited lower risks of 47% and 76%, respectively. Physical activity (PA), body mass index (BMI), and blood glucose were associated with aTRH (all p-values<0.05), while diet, nicotine exposure, sleep, and blood lipids were not significantly associated with aTRH.
