HeartBrief: Three New Studies on Fitness, Fruit, and Sleep Reshape Heart Disease Risk Understanding
Summary
This HeartBrief by preventive cardiologist Dr. Joel Kahn reviews three recent studies with implications for heart health. First, a joint statement from the European Society of Cardiology and the American College of Cardiology examines cardiovascular abnormalities in master athletes, revealing that arrhythmias, coronary calcium, and aortic dilation can occur even in highly fit, asymptomatic individuals. Second, a new trial in adults with prediabetes challenges fruit avoidance myths by showing that daily avocado and mango consumption may be beneficial. The article explores how fitness, fruit intake, and sleep patterns collectively shape heart disease risk, offering practical takeaways for clinicians and patients.
