  1. People who survived heart attack are at risk for diabetes or prediabetes, according to Harvard researchers. A study of 8,300 Italians who had survived a heart attack revealed that after 3.5 years, almost two-thirds of them or 62% developed diabetes or prediabetes.

  2. HDL, also called the "good" cholesterol, might have a bad side, according to researcher from the University of Washington in Seattle. They found that defective forms of HDL can increase the risk of a heart attack. However, overall the substance is beneficial.

  3. First, scientists told us that high levels of vitamin E are no so good at preventing a heart attack. Late, researchers at Vanderbilt University Medical Center said that failure of vitamin E to prevent heart attacks is because of underdosing.

  4. The World Health Organisation announced a report suggesting that people can die from heart disease caused by prolonged exposure to excessive noise. British doctors discovered that 3 percent of fatal heart attacks and strokes were linked to noise pollution. Researchers at the University College London claim that levels exceeding 75 decibels can raise blood pressure to a large extent.

  5. A new animal study showed that excessive exercise can worsen high blood pressure and progression to heart failure. The implications for humans are not yet clear, but the results warn against the potential damage too much exercise can do to persons with untreated high blood pressure.
