Walking more is linked to a longer life at a higher quality. That is something we can all aim for. High levels of aerobic fitness, as measured by V02 max, is one of the most powerful predictors of longevity. But for many people regular exercise at even moderate intensities will not be on the cards. I don’t think that is a good idea, but it will be a reality for many.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an interdisciplinary and reversible therapy that uses high-frequency electrical stimulation to correct aberrant neural pathways in motor and cognitive neurological disorders. However, the high frequency of the waves used in DBS can interfere with electrical recording devices (e.g., electrocardiogram, electroencephalogram, cardiac monitor), creating artifacts that hinder their interpretation.

Introduction: Addressing the Need for Improved LDL Management in the US There is a clear need for innovative treatments to combat cardiovascular disease (CVD). Heart disease remains the leading cause of death for men and women. 80% of heart attacks and strokes linked to CVD are preventable with optimal risk factor management. However, every 40 seconds, an individual in the US suffers a heart attack.
