Experts Warn: Shortness of Breath Could Signal Heart Trouble—Act Now

Three cardiologists emphasize that heart disease can present with subtle signs, with new or worsened shortness of breath during everyday activities being a major red flag. They explain that SOB can reflect the heart failing to meet the body's oxygen needs, not just a lung issue, and that other warning signs include chest pain or discomfort, jaw/neck/back/arm pain, unusual fatigue, lightheadedness, nausea, or cold sweats. Regardless of risk factors, if SOB appears or worsens, stop the activity, rest, and contact a healthcare provider, seeking emergency care if the symptoms are sudden or accompanied by other signs. Early recognition and prompt treatment can improve survival and reduce heart damage.}

New Research Finds Regeneration in Human Heart Cells After Attack

Researchers analyzing living human heart tissue found that heart muscle cells can divide after a heart attack, indicating potential regeneration in humans. By examining tissue from a donor heart and bypass patients and using RNA sequencing, they identified conditions that promote cardiomyocyte division. While promising, the findings do not yet prevent scar formation or heart damage, but could guide future regenerative therapies, and were published in Circulation Research.

Farm work for hours before heart attack prompts health vigilance

A 60-year-old Portrush farmer, Robert Nevin, woke with chest pain, continued working on his farm for five hours, and then drove himself to hospital where he was treated for a heart attack, received a stent, and later completed cardiac rehab; he has since adjusted his routine (including selling milking cows) to reduce risk and urges others not to ignore warning signs, while stressing the importance of monitoring blood pressure and cholesterol.

Stalled Progress in U.S. Heart Health: The Five Deadliest Diseases and Their Reach

A JACC study shows progress against U.S. heart disease has stalled as obesity and diabetes rise; the five deadliest conditions—coronary heart disease, heart attack, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, and stroke—continue to cause the most deaths and disability, driven by preventable risk factors such as hypertension, obesity, diabetes, high LDL cholesterol, and smoking.

Frigid Night Ends in Guard's Death at Cortina Olympics Site, Prompting Probe

A 55-year-old guard working an overnight shift at a Cortina d'Ampezzo construction site for the 2026 Winter Olympics died during subfreezing conditions (about 10 F); organizers say it was a heart attack and a full investigation is underway, with Italian officials seeking answers. The incident occurred outside Cortina's ice arena at a site not overseen by the government-backed Simico. The Milan-Cortina games run Feb. 6-22.

Not All Heart Attacks Start with Chest Pain: Quick Actions to Take

Heart attacks can present with signs beyond chest pain, including indigestion, fatigue, shortness of breath, or a general sense of being unwell. If you suspect a heart attack, call 911 immediately, avoid driving, and have emergency responders assess and treat you en route. If available, chew a full 325 mg aspirin to help dissolve clots. Be an active self-advocate if care seems delayed, and remember that prevention—healthy eating, regular exercise, blood pressure and cholesterol control—remains essential to reduce risk.

Early Detection of Blocked Arteries: Cardiologist Warns of Silent Killer

Atherosclerosis, a silent and progressive buildup of plaque in arteries, can lead to life-threatening conditions like heart attacks and strokes. Early detection through regular tests such as cholesterol panels, blood pressure monitoring, and imaging scans is crucial, especially for those with risk factors like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, and family history.

Morning Habit Linked to 90% of Heart Attacks, Experts Warn

Dr. Sana Sadoxai warns that 90% of heart attacks start with a common morning habit of staying still after waking up, which can lead to increased inflammation and metabolic issues. She recommends just 5-7 minutes of morning movement like walking or stretching to improve circulation and reduce heart attack risk, especially for those overweight or with existing health concerns.
