A large study of people living on five continents, led by researchers at McMaster and the University of Toronto, has found a diet high in poor quality carbohydrates leads to a higher risk of heart attacks, strokes, and death.
Heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular incidents can be cut by 20 to 40 per cent through use of a polypill, which combines three blood pressure medications and a lipid-lowering drug, taken alone or with aspirin.
How much you sleep is linked to your risk of developing cardiovascular disease and death, according to a McMaster University-led study of more than 116,000 people in seven regions of the world, published in the European Heart Journal this week.
