Anger damages blood vessel function, raising heart disease risk

A recent study in the Journal of the American Heart Association reveals that provoked anger, but not sadness or anxiety, acutely impairs endothelial function, shedding light on the link between anger and cardiovascular events.

New discovery offers dietary solution for pulmonary hypertension

Blood vessels in the lungs aren't like the others in the body. This difference becomes clear in pulmonary hypertension, in which only the lungs' blood vessels stiffen progressively, leading to chronic lung disease, heart failure and death.

Brief episode of anger may negatively impact blood vessels' ability to relax

A brief episode of anger triggered by remembering past experiences may negatively impact the blood vessels' ability to relax, which is essential for proper blood flow, according to new research published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association, an open access, peer-reviewed journal of the American Heart Association.

Study shows atrial fibrillation more dangerous in younger population

Atrial fibrillation (Afib), a common type of arrhythmia that is on the rise in people under the age of 65, is more dangerous in this increasingly younger population than previously thought, according to a new study published today in Circulation Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology and authored by physician-scientists at the UPMC Heart and Vascular Institute.
