Article Synopsis
- Recent studies show that heightened neuronal stress responses can negatively impact heart health, potentially mediated by chronic inflammation.
- In a study of 563 patients at risk for cardiovascular disease, statins were found to reduce brain activity related to stress, indicating a potential protective effect on the heart.
- These findings suggest that the anti-inflammatory properties of statins may improve cardiovascular outcomes, highlighting the need for further research on this link.
Purpose: Amygdalar metabolic activity was shown to independently predict cardiovascular outcomes. However, little is known about age- and sex-dependent variability in neuronal stress responses among individuals free of cardiac disease. This study sought to assess age- and sex-specific differences of resting amygdalar metabolic activity in the absence of clinical cardiovascular disease.
