Cardiac rehabilitation can significantly improve short and long term recovery, but attendance remains poor — with even fewer women utilizing the programs available says an American Heart Association scientific statement on cardiac rehabilitation in women.

Michigan Medicine meets Michigan nature through art at D. Dan and Betty Kahn Health Care Pavilion.

Poor blood sugar control in adolescence increases the risk of painful future complications for people with type 1 diabetes, research suggests. Participants with the greatest increase in HbA1c levels from childhood to adolescence not only retained higher blood sugar levels in adulthood, but they also had a greater risk for neuropathy.

Prescribing the biologic drug sotatercept alongside standard treatment for the most severe form of pulmonary hypertension significantly reduces the likelihood of worsening disease when added within the first year after diagnosis, according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine by Michigan Medicine.

Stroke patients evaluated using telemedicine (telestroke) have higher odds of receiving essential treatment, yet it takes longer for them to be treated — potentially limiting the benefits, finds a Michigan Medicine.

Researchers from University of Michigan have identified pivotal roles for a pair of virus-like proteins and their effect on how cells self-regulate and respond to stress. These proteins are implicated in several cancers and neurodegenerative diseases

High levels of triglycerides, the most common type of fat in the body and the foods you eat, directly cause abdominal aortic aneurysms, according to a study in mice. A drug candidate lowered triglyceride levels by up to 50% and prevented aneurysm formation, showing promise as a treatment avenue. 

Most strokes are ischemic, meaning blood flow to part of the brain is blocked by a clot. Here, a neurologist shares treatment options and how providers decide when time is short.

Living close to cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms — which are present nationwide but are more common in coastal and Great Lake states — heightens the rate of dying from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a study suggests.

Researchers at Michigan Medicine have uncovered a key mechanism that regulates blood pressure and vascular remodeling in people with a genetic variant linked to high blood pressure.

Researchers have discovered a new molecular process that occurs when donor hearts are preserved in cold storage which contributes to failure after transplant, a study in both humans and animals shows. Fortunately, therapy that is typically prescribed for high blood pressure can target this process to reduce cold preservation associated with cardiac injury. This discovery has potential to improve the consistent function of donor hearts and extend the distance they can be safely transported in cold storage.

A study finds most hospitals don’t see many cardiogenic shock patients. When they do, providers often do not have a standardized way of treating them.

A compound that was previously found to treat severe fatty liver disease also reduces atherosclerosis, a primary driver of cardiovascular death, in non-human primates. The drug candidate was developed at the University of Michigan.

A Michigan Medicine allergist explains why allergy seasons are getting harsher and how to treat symptoms.

There are over six million Americans with heart failure who are at greater risk of losing their cognitive abilities earlier in life, a study led by University of Michigan suggests.
