Long-term thrombus-free left atrial appendage occlusion via magnetofluids https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-10091-1 A safer, more effective atrial fibrillation treatment method using magnetic gel may be on the way https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-03-safer-effective-atrial-fibrillation-treatment.html Vorhofflimmern ist eine der Hauptursachen für Schlaganfälle, die durch Blutgerinnsel in einer kleinen Ausstülpung des Herzens, dem linken Vorhofohr (LAA), entstehen können- Blutverdünner sind eine gängige Behandlungsmethode bei Vorhofflimmern. Aufgrund des erhöhten Blutungsrisikos können manche Patienten sie jedoch nicht einnehmen. Eine Alternative ist der Verschluss des linken Vorhofohrs (LAA) mit einem Implantat. Dies wird als linksatriale Okklusion (LAAO) bezeichnet. Die derzeit verfügbaren Implantate reduzieren zwar das Schlaganfallrisiko, können aber kleine Leckagen aufweisen und die Bildung von Blutgerinnseln am oder um das Implantat herum begünstigen. Eines dieser Implantate ist der Watchman-Okkluder – ein metallisches, transkathetergestütztes LAAO-Implantat.

Many people over 90 years old have one thing in common: They love a "post-meal walk" and take a 10-minute walk within about 30 minutes of eating dinner. This gentle exercise helps the body regulate blood sugar levels while also stimulating circulation https://www.dailymail.co.uk/lifestyle/fitness-wellbeing/article-15615271/doctor-reveals-one-habit-people-live-past-90.html Viele langlebige Patienten lagern einfach ihre Beine hoch.

Dadurch wird der Druck in den Beinvenen verringert und es kann geholfen werden, Stoffwechselabfallprodukte abzutransportieren, die sich im Laufe des Tages ansammeln.

Common anticholinergic medicines may raise cardiovascular risk https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12916-026-04751-w People who use drugs with anticholinergic effects, drugs for urinary incontinence and common antihistamines, are at higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-03-common-anticholinergic-medicines-cardiovascular-large.html The new study suggests that the drugs may also affect the parasympathetic nervous system and thereby the regulation of the cardiovascular system.

The association was seen for all types of cardiovascular disease but was particularly clear for heart failure and various forms of arrhythmia.

Chemokines are signaling proteins that attract immune cells (leukocytes) to sites of inflammation. In MS, they become dysregulated, recruiting excessive amounts of immune cells into the central nervous system (CNS), which causes demyelination and damage to nerve fibers. While necessary for normal immune function, chemokines can "turn bad" and drive the autoimmune response that characterizes MS.
