As a cardiologist, I am frequently asked about supplements and heart health. In general, I am not a fan. Personally, I take two supplements. Whey protein for hitting my daily protein targets. Creatine for improving exercise performance and muscle mass. Neither of these supplements is for improving ‘heart health’ During the winter months, I will occasionally take vitamin D if my levels are low, but generally, if I get enough time outside, even during the winter months, I do not need t

Cholesterol aggregation in dendritic cells (DCs) triggers an inflammatory response and accelerates the development of atherosclerosis (AS). Resveratrol (RES), a natural compound with anti-inflammatory and cholesterol metabolism regulatory properties, has been shown to influence the maturation and inflammatory functions of DCs. However, its relationship with cholesterol metabolism remains unclear.

BackgroundCardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a challenging diagnosis, particularly when the classic signs, such as increased wall thickness in a non-dilated left ventricle (LV), are absent. This makes the diagnosis more difficult in patients with normal LV wall thickness. We present a case of CA without increased wall thickness and without the characteristic granular sparkling echotexture in a non-dilated LV.Case summaryA 50-year-old female patient presented with worsening breathlessness on exertion, p
