New episode out now 🎙️ Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is redefining how we assess cardiovascular risk in asymptomatic patients. A score of zero signals extremely low event rates—even in higher-risk individuals—while elevated scores help pinpoint who benefits most from preventive therapies. In this episode of The Heart of Prevention, host Dr. @Kpakanati3, @MichaelJBlaha, and @khurramn1 break down how CAC enables a shift from population-based care to truly personalized prevention—highlighting the “power of zero” and when to intensify treatment. 🎧 Listen now: art19.com/shows/the-hear… #PreventiveCardiology #Cardiology #HeartHealth #PrecisionMedicine @AJPCardio

NEW ACSM Position Stand-- Resistance Training Prescription for Muscle Function, Hypertrophy, and Physical Performance in Healthy Adults: An Overview of Reviews: Graphic via mackinprof📸

Stress may be more harmful if you believe it’s harming your health. People with high stress who also believed stress affected their health negatively saw a 43% higher risk of premature death. High-stress people who didn’t think stress was harming their health did not show a statistically significant increase in mortality; the other groups were not statistically significant either.

Get fitter, think sharper, your brain upgrades with exercise New research from UCL shows fitness doesn’t just help your body, it amplifies your brain’s response to exercise. Key findings: 1. Just 15 minutes of moderate to intense exercise triggers BDNF, a protein that supports new brain cells and connections 2. After 12 weeks of training, participants released significantly MORE BDNF from the same workout 3. Higher fitness (VO2max) = stronger brain boost after exercise 4. Enhanced activity seen in the prefrontal cortex, improving attention and inhibitory control 5. Baseline brain levels stayed the same, but the response to exercise became more powerful What this means: The fitter you get, the more your brain benefits from every single workout Train your body, upgrade your brain 🧠

🫀 New in the American Journal of Preventive Cardiology A study of >220,000 U.S. adults links higher B vitamin levels with a lower risk of stroke, highlighting the growing role of nutrition in cardiovascular prevention. These findings add to the evidence that dietary factors may meaningfully influence stroke risk and support continued focus on nutrition in preventive cardiology. 🔗 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… #PreventiveCardiology #StrokePrevention #Nutrition #CardiometabolicHealth #AJPC
