Dyslipidemia Impacts Cardiometabolic Health and CVD Risk in a Relatively Young Otherwise Healthy Population.

Dyslipidemia, abnormal levels of lipids in the bloodstream, is associated with cardiovascular disease risk (CVD). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of dyslipidemia on cardiometabolic health in relatively young, healthy adults. Participants were 54 healthy males and females aged 18-60 years.

Environmental exposure to wildfire smoke may reduce microvascular oxygenation during graded handgrip exercise: A case series.

Wildfire smoke (WFS) is an urgent and rapidly growing threat to global health. Aside from obvious threats to pulmonary function, increases in cardiac abnormalities or myocardial infarction have been documented during WF season, but little is known about the effects of WFS on cardiovascular health. We investigated the effect of nonoccupational WFS exposure on cardiovascular and pulmonary function at rest and during graded handgrip exercise through a case series of young, healthy adults (n = 4, 25 ± 6 years) assessed after ≥3 days of bad or good air quality.
