Heart disease, the silent predator, knows no bounds when it comes to age. It's a myth that heart issues only knock on the doors of the elderly. The truth is, heart disease can target any age group, making preventive care a crucial shield against its relentless assault. Welcome to a journey through the ages and stages of heart health, brought to you by Cross County Cardiology.
Welcome to Cross County Cardiology's blog, where we bring you insightful updates on heart health and the latest research findings. In this article, we've summarized a recent study that delves into the intriguing relationship between winter and blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Despite aggressive treatment efforts, patients with hypertension experienced significant increases in blood pressure during the colder months. Join us as we explore the impact of seasonal changes on BP control and discover valuable tips to navigate these challenges effectively. Stay informed and prioritize your heart health with our comprehensive breakdown of this enlightening research.
Winter can be a beautiful season with its snowy landscapes and cozy moments, but for patients with hypertension, it may bring some concerning health challenges. A recent study conducted by researchers at Wayne State University shed light on the impact of winter on blood pressure (BP) levels in patients with hypertension, even those receiving intensive treatment.

When it comes to managing heart failure (HF), initiating and uptitrating medications early after hospital discharge has long been recognized as a critical component of care. However, a recent analysis of the STRONG-HF trial has shed new light on the benefits of rapid uptitration of medical therapy, regardless of the patient's left ventricular ejection fraction (EF). This groundbreaking finding underscores the importance of a high-intensity care strategy for patients with acute HF. In this blog post, we will delve into the key takeaways from the analysis and explore how implementing this strategy could improve patient outcomes.
Introduction: People with mental disorders tend to have a shorter life expectancy, and cardiovascular diseases contribute to this. This study looked at how mental disorders affect the risk of heart attacks (MI) and strokes (IS) in young individuals.
This study looked at how the food we eat and our fitness level are related. The researchers studied a large group of people and measured their fitness using a test that measures how well their heart and lungs work during exercise. They also asked the participants about their eating habits using a questionnaire.
The researchers found that people who had healthier diets had better fitness levels. Specifically, for every improvement in diet quality, the participants had a 5.2% higher fitness level. They also looked at the chemicals in the participants' blood and found some that were related to both diet and fitness. Some chemicals were linked to lower fitness and poorer diets, while others were linked to higher fitness and healthier diets. These findings suggest that eating a healthy diet can improve fitness and overall health.

Statin therapy does not worsen muscle injury, pain, or fatigue in people engaging in moderate-intensity exercise, according to a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
High-powered electric vehicle chargers are safe for people with implantable cardiac devices, according to a recent study published in EP EuroPace and presented at the European Heart Rhythm Association annual congress. The study analyzed data from 130 patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (IEDs) who performed 561 charges of four battery electric vehicles and a test vehicle with a 350-kW charge capacity, all using high-power charging stations while under continuous ECG monitoring.
