More than 70% of American Indian young adults aged 20-39 and 50% of American Indian teens have cholesterol levels or elevated fat in the blood that put them at risk for cardiovascular disease, a new study suggests. In some cases, these levels -- specifically high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often thought of as 'bad cholesterol,' -- were linked to plaque buildup and cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke.

Lasix (furosemide) is a potassium – wasting diuretic. Capoten (captopril) is an ACE inhibitor. Ntg is presumably sublingual nitroglycerine used for angina.

Plenty of people love to exercise. If you’re reading this post, you might be one of them. But the disheartening truth is that most people don’t enjoy exercise. A third or less of adults meet the minimum recommendations for aerobic and strength exercise each week. As a result, much of the global disease burden can be attributed to physical in activity — 6–10% based on some estimations.

In a potentially game-changing development, scientists have revealed a new understanding of sometimes fatal viral infections that affect the heart. Traditionally, the focus has been on heart inflammation known as myocarditis, which is often triggered by the body's immune response to a viral infection. However, a new study sheds new light on this notion, revealing that the virus itself creates potentially dangerous conditions in the heart before inflammation sets in.
