Study links greater chest and back muscle density to lower heart attack risk
By
British Heart Foundation
Summary
A study published in Radiology, led by the University of Edinburgh and part-funded by the British Heart Foundation, analyzed heart scans of 1,722 people (mostly in their 50s with chest pain) using AI. Researchers found that people with greater muscle density in their chest and back were less likely to have a heart attack or die within the decade following the scan. The research suggests that muscle density, not just muscle size, may be an important indicator of cardiovascular health.
