Oxford University recently released an intriguing research which might force most of us to reach down and pinch our waists while reading the article. Reportedly, the research states that every extra inch on a person's waistline can increase the risk of heart failure by 10 per cent. The study, which took 13 years and over 430,000 British subjects to complete was presented at the European Society of Cardiology congress in Barcelona. Reportedly, the participants had an average age of 56 and 8,669 suffered first-time heart failure events, with many proving fatal as well. The study effectively meant that a person having a waistline of 41-inch might be 40 per cent more likely to contract heart-related illness when compared to a person having a 37-inch waist.

Dr Ayodipupo Oguntade, the lead researcher of the study confirmed that 'trunk fat' was a major indicator of a person developing heart conditions. "The amount of fat people carry around their trunk is more important in tracking body fatness and cardiovascular risk." said Dr Oguntade. He further added that a person with a bigger waistline was 3.21 times more likely to suffer heart failure compared to a person having a high Body Mass Index. The person in the latter category had 2.65 times the risk of suffering heart failure.

This extra fat gets stored around the belly, rendering the movement of blood inside the blood vessels. Once the movement is impaired, it affects the functioning of the heart.

Every extra inch on your waistline increases the risk of heart attack by 10 per cent: Study

Why are so many young people dying of heart attacks? Earlier, heart problems were associated with people above the age of 60, but now people in their 30s and 40s are also suffering heart attacks. What do doctors have to say about this disturbing trend? Palki Sharma tells you.

Gravitas: Why are so many young people dying of heart attacks?

A significant study suggests that the risk of heart attacks may be significantly increased by exhaust fumes and abrupt braking.

Increases in nitric oxide, a frequent traffic-related pollutant, and the likelihood of having an attack have been linked in a study conducted in Germany on nearly 18,000 people.

The risk of having a heart attack increased by 1% for every 10 g of air pollution added to the daily average, and by 4% during a three-day period of high pollution.

According to researchers, smokers did not appear to be affected by smog, which is likely because they were already breathing toxic fumes continuously.

It comes after warnings that the UK may experience up to 11,000 annual deaths from heart disease and circulatory conditions as a result of air pollution.

Heart attacks decrease in hot weather, according to the research, which will be presented this weekend at the European Society of Cardiology's annual congress in Barcelona.

Additionally, every 10°C increase in temperature was linked to a 6% decrease in the frequency of heart attacks.

17,873 patients who experienced a heart attack between 2008 and 2014 were included in the study.

The study concludes that traffic and combustion pollution must be reduced if we are to reduce the risk of acute myocardial infarction.

An observational study cannot establish causation. Given that nitric oxide and PM10 promote inflammation, atherosclerosis is partially brought on by inflammatory processes, and no associations were found in smokers, it is plausible that air pollution is a contributing factor in myocardial infarction.

Traffic pollution may significantly increase the risk of heart attack

Now with simmering tensions between China and Taiwan, the Deputy Head of Taiwan defence ministry's research and Development unit was found dead on Saturday morning in a hotel room. The 57 year old Ou Yang Li-hsing succumbed to a heart attack and was found dead in a hotel room in southern Taiwan.

The heart pumps blood and distributes oxygen and nutrients across the body - one of the most important organs. In recent days, heart diseases are becoming a common phenomenon. Cases of heart attacks and strokes happen quite often. A report by World Health Organisation (WHO), published last year, noted that cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. Hence, taking care of your heart's health is extremely important.&nbsp;

Technological advancements in medical science help doctors and other experts to diagnose the disease at an early stage and minimise the risks. An Australia-based report&nbsp;suggests that a pin-prick test could pick early signs of a heart attack.&nbsp;&nbsp;

A report by Australia-based hospitalhealth.com noted that scientists have developed a chip, that&nbsp;will apparently warn heart and stroke patients of high attack risk. The chip is wearable or can be kept in a bag. It can help people who are at risk of a heart attack.&nbsp;

In Australia, approximately 55,000 people suffer a heart attack each year. The report mentioned that a similar number suffer from stroke.&nbsp;

Many heart attacks and strokes are caused by blood clots. In the situation of blood clots, the flow of blood to the heart is blocked. It often happens in at-risk individuals without any physical warning. &nbsp;

Experts have explained that a heart attack results when a blood clot completely obstructs a coronary artery supplying blood to the heart muscle and the heart muscle dies.&nbsp;

The blood clot that causes the heart attack usually forms at the site of rupture of an atherosclerotic, cholesterol plaque on the inner wall of a coronary artery.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, University of Sydney biomedical engineer Dr Arnold Lining Ju is developing a biomedical micro-device which is meant to detect these subtle platelet changes before a heart attack or stroke takes place.&nbsp;

According to the Australian scientists who developed it, this small device could transform the lives of people at risk of heart attacks and strokes in Australia and around the world.&nbsp;

How is it supposed to work?

The micro-device would take a blood sample from a person's finger using a pin-prick test. The sample would then be analysed for platelet clotting and white cell inflammation responses. The report mentioned that the information would be immediately processed by an external operating system.&nbsp;

As quoted by the report, Ju said, "How this device would work is that an at-risk person, for example, someone with heart disease, would use it daily." Ju is&nbsp;from the Sydney Nanoscience Hub and Faculty of Engineering.&nbsp;

"Using a finger prick test, the device would monitor their blood and alert them to any potentially dangerous changes. If a change was detected, they would need to present for more monitoring at a hospital,"&nbsp;Ju further said.&nbsp;

Ju is also a group affiliate of the Heart Research Institute's Thrombosis Group.&nbsp;

A chip will detect early signs of heart attack and stroke, says report

With the rise in the number of heart ailments in the recent future, the need to keep the heart healthy seems to have come to the fore. Along with this, several studies have also come up suggesting ways to diagnose risks to the heart. In one such study, the researchers have found that even a simple non-invasive eye examination can predict the risk of heart attack, media reports said.&nbsp;To identify risk of an attack, the information about the pattern of blood vessels in the retina along with traditional clinical factors can be helpful, the researchers found. It has been found to be better in comparison with the established models, which include only demographic data. &nbsp;

The researchers have used data from UK Biobank to calculate a measure called fractal dimension. The biobank has medical and lifestyle records of over 500,000 people. These professionals then combined it in a model with factors like systolic blood pressure, sex, age, body mass index and smoking status.&nbsp;They studied people in the database who experienced a heart attack or myocardial infarction or MI after their retinal images were collected.&nbsp;These experts will present an abstract about this study at the European Society of Human Genetics annual conference in Vienna on Monday. &nbsp;

Ana Villaplana-Velasco, PhD student, Usher and Roslin institutes at the University of Edinburgh and the presenting author, said, “Strikingly, we discovered that our model was able to better classify participants with low or high MI risk in UK Biobank when compared with established models that only include demographic data. The improvement of our model was even higher if we added a score related to the genetic propensity of developing MI.” &nbsp;&nbsp;

“The calculation of an individualised MI risk from those over 50 years old would seem to be appropriate. This would enable doctors to suggest behaviours that could reduce risk, such as giving up smoking and maintaining normal cholesterol and blood pressure,” said Villaplana-Velasco. &nbsp;&nbsp;

Texas school shooting: Husband of killed teacher dies of heart attack

The sporting fraternity was in a state of&nbsp;shock after Musa Yamak, the undefeated German champion suffered a&nbsp;heart attack and lost his life recently. For the unversed, the 38-year-old collapsed in the ring in Munich on Saturday (May 14) while battling&nbsp;Uganda's Hamza Wandera, as per the New York Post report.

“We lost our compatriot Musa Askan Yamak, a boxer from Alucra, who won European and Asian championships, at a young age after a heart attack,” Turkish official Hasan Turan mentioned on the social media platform Twitter.

The fight was streamed live for the audience. Yamak&nbsp;collapsed&nbsp;prior to&nbsp;the third round of the contest and never recovered. He had taken a big hit from Wandera in the second round following&nbsp;which he stumbled.

Soon, the medical team came to the ring to assist him and help revive his life. He was rushed to a local hospital, however, the boxer was&nbsp;declared dead by the doctors.

“The paramedics saw turbulent scenes of emotionally charged fans and family members on site. To ensure the safety of the paramedics, we sent out a lot of patrols,” a spokesperson of the Munich Police told the German-tabloid newspaper BILD. "We then set up a protection corridor on-site so that the paramedics could work safely and conscientiously,” the spokesperson added.

Here's the video of the unfortunate incident which led to Musa's death:

A new report released by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) on Tuesday (April 26) states taking low-dose aspirin on regular basis has little to no benefit for most adults suffering from heart problems.

In fact, scientists believe that it can lead to internal bleeding inside the stomach or brain as people get older.

Heart attacks are responsible for one in four deaths in the United States making them the lead cause of mortality.

Every year, at least 6,10,000 people experience their first stroke in the US while nearly 6,05,000 suffer their first myocardial infarction.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/aspirin-may-hold-the-key-to-battling-a-rare-form-of-breast-cancer-408370">Also read |&nbsp;Aspirin may hold the key to battling a rare form of breast cancer</a>

The USPSTF conducted the study on adults who were older than 40 years and did not have any symptoms of Cardiovascular disease (CVD).

The people tested between the age of 40 to 50 years had a 10 per cent or greater 10-year CVD risk which has a small net benefit.

The task force's updated guidelines recommend against starting low-dose aspirin use for the prevention of heart attack in adults who are above 60-years-old.

According to cardiologist Steven Nissen, “If you’re taking an aspirin a day and you get in a motor vehicle accident, you’re going to bleed more.”

He is the chief academic officer of the Heart, Vascular, and Thoracic Institute at the Cleveland Clinic.

“Group by group, bit by bit, people have come around to the idea that the risks are about equivalent to its benefits for most people,” he told CNN.

His opinion was reiterated by Dr. James Cireddu, medical director of the Harrington Heart and Vascular Institute at University Hospitals Bedford Medical Centre, who said "The more data we get, the more we're seeing that even though the risk of coronary disease and heart attack goes up as you get older, the risk of bleeding seems to be going up even faster."

"When you look at all the studies that have been done recently, it seems that the modest benefit of aspirin and otherwise low-risk individuals is generally negated by the increase in long-term GI problems, bleeding with aspirin," said co-chair of the committee that released guidelines on the same topic by American College of Cardiology or American Heart Association.

A new report released by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) on Tuesday (April 26) states taking low-dose aspirin on regular basis has little to no benefit for most adults suffering from heart problems.

A new report released by the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) on Tuesday (April 26) states taking low-dose aspirin on regular basis has little to no benefit for most adults suffering from heart problems. In fact, scientists believe that it can lead to internal bleeding inside the stomach or brain as people get older. Heart attacks are responsible for one in four deaths in the United States making them the lead cause of mortality. Every year, at least 6,10,000 people experience their first stroke in the US while nearly 6,05,000 suffer their first myocardial infarction.

The people tested between the age of 40 to 50 years had a 10 per cent or greater 10-year CVD risk which has a small net benefit. The task force's updated guidelines recommend against starting low-dose aspirin use for the prevention of heart attack in adults who are above 60-years-old. According to cardiologist Steven Nissen, “If you’re taking an aspirin a day and you get in a motor vehicle accident, you’re going to bleed more.” He is the chief academic officer of the Heart, Vascular, and Thoracic Institute at the Cleveland Clinic.

News of Rhoden's death sent shock waves on social media with many posting heartfelt tributes for the bodybuilder.&nbsp; 
 
Retired American bodybuilder Rich Gaspari wrote, "I am shocked to hear of the passing of Mr Olympia @flexatronrhoden It`s very sad to hear of his passing," Gaspari captioned an Instagram post on Saturday. 
"He had always been a gentleman towards me. Shawn had one of the most aesthetic physiques in bodybuilding. My condolences to his family. #rip #ripbrother." 
 
Rhoden won the Olympia in 2018. Mr Olympia is considered as the Super Bowl of bodybuilding competitions. Rhoden had defeating seven-time Olympia champion, Phil Heath that year and became the oldest competitor to win the prestigious title at 43. 
 
Rhoden first got into bodybuilding as an amateur during the early 1990s, where he competed on and off throughout the years. In 2010, Rhoden turned pro, finishing 11th in his first Mr Olympia. The following year, Rhoden finished third.

Have you ever had your heart broken? Science says a broken heart is real, and at times it can be as painful as a heart attack. A new study says women above the age of 50 are more likely to get their heart broken. Why's that? Palki Sharma tells you.

Gravitas | Study: Older women are more likely to get their heart broken

Q: My smartwatch shows me that my sleeping heart rate is much higher at night after I've had a couple of glasses of wine. It's normally around 60 beats per minute, but it spikes up to 80 to 100 if I drink more than a glass of wine. Is that normal?

A: We all know that a glass or two of wine can help you relax and unwind. But alcohol can also have pronounced effects on your cardiovascular system in the hours after you consume it, causing your heart to beat faster, at least in the short term. And in general, the more you drink, the greater the uptick in your heart rate.

Experts say that for most healthy adults, a temporary increase in heart rate caused by one or two drinks is probably not something to worry about. But it could be problematic for people who have conditions that cause irregular heart rhythms, such as atrial fibrillation or other types of arrhythmias, or for those who are at high risk for heart attacks or strokes.

Last year, a group of researchers analysed data from 32 different clinical trials of alcohol consumption involving 767 people; most were healthy young men in their 20s and 30s. They saw distinct patterns in how alcohol affected their heart rates and blood pressure readings shortly after drinking.

In general, a normal resting heart rate for adults is between 60 and 100 beats per minute. The researchers found that consuming one standard drink — generally defined as a 12-ounce beer, a 5-ounce glass of wine or a cocktail containing 1.5 ounces of liquor — tended to elevate the participants' heart rates by about five beats per minute in the six hours that followed. With two or more drinks, the increase in heart rate was greater, and heart rates remained slightly elevated up to 24 hours later.

Alcohol also had distinct effects on blood pressure. A single drink had little effect on blood pressure, but when people consumed two drinks, they experienced a slight dip in their blood pressure levels in the hours that followed. When they had more than two drinks, however, they saw their blood pressure levels fall at first and then begin to climb, eventually becoming slightly elevated about 13 hours after they drank. The findings on blood pressure seem to square with other studies that have shown that light drinking can be slightly beneficial to cardiovascular health, causing your blood vessels to dilate and blood pressure to fall, but that having more than two drinks on one occasion can stress your circulation.

It's common for people to drink in the evening. So scientists have also looked at what happens when people consume alcohol before going to bed. In one study published in January, researchers recruited 26 men and women and had them spend three nights in a lab where they were monitored as they slept. On one occasion, the participants consumed what are considered "moderate" amounts of alcohol before going to bed: The women each had one glass of wine, and the men drank two glasses of wine. On another night, the participants drank heavier amounts: The women drank three glasses of wine, and the men had four. On the third night, they were all given nonalcoholic wine,&nbsp;which served as a placebo.

The researchers found that when people drank moderate amounts of wine, their nighttime heart rates rose by four per cent compared with when they did not drink alcohol. But their heart rates returned to normal in the morning hours. When people drank heavier amounts, however, their nighttime heart rates spiked 14&nbsp;per cent and remained elevated into the morning. The study also found that alcohol, especially when consumed in higher amounts, temporarily lowered the participants' heart rate variability, a measure of the variation in time between heartbeats. A higher variability is generally a sign of better cardiovascular fitness.

One particularly striking study published in 2017 looked at how alcohol could affect your heart rate in social settings. The study was carried out at the Munich Oktoberfest, the world's largest public beer festival. The researchers recruited more than 3,000 men and women who had been drinking but were not legally impaired. They tested their blood alcohol concentrations and gave them EKGs to assess their cardiac function. They found that about 26&nbsp;per cent of the revelers had a resting heart rate above 100 beats per minute, a risky but not life-threatening condition known as sinus tachycardia. About five to six&nbsp;per cent&nbsp;of the participants showed other types of irregular heartbeats that are considered more dangerous, including atrial fibrillation, which can lead to serious complications such as strokes. The higher the participants’ breath alcohol concentrations, the greater their odds of having one of these irregular heart rhythms.

Dr. Stefan Brunner, a cardiologist at the University Hospital of Munich and an author of the study, said his findings demonstrated that in general, heart rate climbs continuously with increasing blood alcohol levels, but not everyone shows the same level of susceptibility. "Some people react more profoundly with an increasing heart rate than others," he said, though it’s unclear why that is. Some people may simply have a higher tolerance for alcohol, he said.

Brunner emphasized that for most healthy adults, an increase in heart rate in response to alcohol should not be alarming, especially if you are drinking in moderation, which the Dietary Guidelines for Americans defines as no more than one drink a day for women and up to two drinks per day for men. "An increase in heart rate from 60 to 80 to 100 beats per minute is not of concern and just reflects the influence of alcohol," Brunner said, though he added that you should be concerned if you experience palpitations after drinking or if your smartwatch alerts you to an abnormal heart rhythm such as atrial fibrillation.

You should also be cautious if you have strong risk factors for developing a heart rhythm disorder, such as high blood pressure or coronary artery disease, or if you have experienced arrhythmias in the past. One recent trial published in the Annals of Internal Medicine found that just one can of beer or a single glass of wine could cause an episode of atrial fibrillation in people who have a history of the condition.

Dr. Peter Kistler, a cardiologist and expert on heart rhythm disorders, said that people with arrhythmias can drink alcohol, but that they should do so only occasionally, limiting themselves to just one standard drink no more than three or four times a week. Avoiding alcohol altogether, however, could make a big difference. Kistler's research has shown that in people with recurrent arrhythmias who were regular drinkers, giving up alcohol cut their rate of events in half.

Can drinking alcohol raise your heart rate?

A research study published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal has claimed that adults under 45 years old who consumed cannabis within the last 30 days suffered from nearly double the number of heart attacks than the adults who didn’t smoke up.

The research, published by Canadian Medical Association Journal, raises eyebrows of many as there has been a movement across the world, including the US&nbsp;and Canada, to legalise the use, distribution and production of cannabis for personal use.

Also read |&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/colombia-authorises-export-of-dried-cannabis-flowers-400240">Colombia authorises export of dried cannabis flowers</a>

The research notes, “With cannabis use on the rise, thanks in part to the pandemic, and legalization across the US continuing, its potential health risks have become an important area of research.”

The researchers also discovered that consuming cannabis in other ways was also linked to an elevated risk of heart attacks.

“Additionally, this association was consistent across different forms of cannabis consumption, including smoking, vaporization, and other methods such as edibles," study co-author Dr Karim Ladha, clinician-scientist and staff anesthesiologist at St. Michael's Hospital and the University of Toronto in Canada, said in a statement.

"This suggests that no method of consumption is safer than another in this regard,” he said.

The researchers analysed health data from over 33,000 adults ages 18 to 44 who were part of the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention surveys in 2017 and 2018.

Of the 17 per cent of adults who reported using cannabis within the previous month, 1.3 per cent later had a heart attack while only 0.8per cent of non-cannabis users reported the same.

“Some people assume that consuming cannabis is safe and can’t harm your body, but that is incorrect," Ladha later told CNN.

“There’s increasing evidence that this could potentially be harmful to you, both in the short term and the long term,” he said.

Of the 17 per cent of adults who reported using cannabis within the previous month, 1.3 per cent later had a heart attack while only 0.8per cent of non-cannabis users reported the same. “Some people assume that consuming cannabis is safe and can’t harm your body, but that is incorrect," Ladha later told CNN. “There’s increasing evidence that this could potentially be harmful to you, both in the short term and the long term,” he said.

Smoking cannabis could double risk of heart attack, claims study

Excessive energy drink consumption may be linked to heart failure, doctors have warned in the journal BMJ Case Reports after treating a 21-year-old, who had regularly drunk 2 litres of it every day for around 2 years.

The student developed heart failure after “excessive” consumption of energy drinks. He sought care after suffering for four months with shortness of breath and weight loss.

Blood tests, scans, and ECG readings revealed that he had both heart and kidney failure – with the kidney failure linked to a long-standing and previously undiagnosed condition.

“We report a case of severe biventricular heart failure potentially related to excessive energy drink consumption in a 21-year-old man,” the article's authors from Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust in London noted.

The student had no other medical history, but the cans he was drinking contained 160mg of caffeine each.

“When I was drinking up to four energy drinks per day, I suffered from tremors and heart palpitations, which interfered with my ability to concentrate on daily tasks and my studies at university,” the student said.

This is just one case report, but there have been several others as well as review articles that have highlighted mounting concerns about the potential cardiovascular system harms of energy drinks, note the authors.

Energy drinks are also known to raise blood pressure and can trigger heart rhythm abnormalities, say the authors, by way of an explanation for the published findings to date.

An Iranian woman waiting to be executed suffered a fatal heart attack as she watched 16 men die before her - but her body was hanged anyway at Rajai Shahr Prison.

Zahra Ismaili was convicted of the murder of her husband Alireza Zamani in Iran and sentenced to be hanged at Rajai Shahr Prison.

According to The Times, the mother-of-two had been convicted of killing her husband, who was a senior official in the Ministry of Intelligence.

Her lawyer, Omid Moradi, claimed her husband had allegedly been abusive to both her and their daughter and that she had acted in self-defence.

According to the Iran Human Rights Monitor (HRM), Ismaili’s death certificate gave her cause of death as “cardiac arrest”.

Her lawyer Omid Moradi reportedly wrote: “It states cardiac arrest as the cause of death because yesterday 16 men were hanged before her eyes. Zahra’s heart stopped and she died before she was taken to the gallows."

Demi Lovato reveals she had three strokes and a heart attack during 2018 overdose episode

The next time you get your blood pressure taken at the doctor, you should seriously think about requesting that the nurse take it in the two arms.&nbsp;

A huge contrast in the systolic, or top circulatory strain perusing between the two arms could be an admonition indication of a future respiratory failure or stroke, as per another meta-investigation of 24 worldwide examinations distributed Monday in the journal&nbsp;Hypertension.&nbsp;

"Patients who require a pulse check should now anticipate that it's checked in the two arms, in any event once," said lead creator Dr. Chris Clark, a clinical senior speaker at the University of Exeter Medical School in the United Kingdom, in an explanation.&nbsp;

Circulatory strain is estimated in units of millimeters of mercury (contracted as mmHg), which comprises of two numbers - an upper or systolic perusing that speaks to the most extreme measure of weight in your courses, and the lower or diastolic perusing that shows the weight in your supply routes when your heart muscle is very still between thumps.&nbsp;

The new study found that for every level of contrast between the two arms more than 10 millimeters of mercury, the danger of having new angina (chest torment), a coronary failure, or a stroke expanded by 1 per cent&nbsp;throughout the following decade.&nbsp;

The examination results demonstrate that distinctions over 5 millimeters of mercury between two arms "foresee all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality and cardiovascular occasions."&nbsp;

"We've since quite a while ago realized that a distinction in circulatory strain between the two arms is connected to more unfortunate wellbeing results," Clark said.&nbsp;

This examination "reveals to us that the higher the distinction in pulse between arms, the more noteworthy the cardiovascular danger, so it truly is basic to gauge the two arms to set up which patients might be at essentially expanded danger," Clark said.&nbsp;

The American Heart Association considers circulatory strain typical when the top number is under 120 and the base number is under 80.&nbsp;

A distinction of 10 millimeters of mercury or less between arms is viewed as typical by the AHA and isn't a reason for concern. Nonetheless, higher readings between the two arms may be an indication of a narrowing or hardening of the conduits, which can influence the bloodstream.&nbsp;

In contrast to rules in the US, those in both UK and the European Union perceive "a systolic distinction of 15 mmHg or more between the two arms as the edge demonstrative of extra cardiovascular danger," the examination said.&nbsp;

Examination coauthor Victor Aboyans, educator and top of the branch of cardiology at the Dupuytren University Hospital in Limoges, France, said the investigation shows that global rules should be reconsidered.&nbsp;

"We accept that a 10 mmHg distinction can now sensibly be viewed as a maximum restriction of typical for systolic between arm pulse when the two arms are estimated in grouping during routine clinical arrangements," Aboyans said in an articulation.&nbsp;

"This data should be joined into future rules and clinical practice in evaluating cardiovascular danger. It would mean a lot more individuals were considered for treatment that could lessen their danger of coronary failure, stroke, and demise," Aboyans added.&nbsp;

Likewise, wellbeing professionals should quantify pulse in the two arms at exams, the report said. While global rules presently suggest that training, it is "broadly disregarded."&nbsp;

"While worldwide rules right now suggest that this is done, it just occurs around half of the time, best-case scenario, ordinarily because of time imperatives," Clark said.&nbsp;

"Checking one arm then the other with a regularly utilized pulse screen is modest and can be completed in any medical services setting, without the requirement for extra or costly gear," Clark said. "Our exploration shows that the little additional time it takes to gauge the two arms could, at last, save lives."&nbsp;

Taking your own pulse&nbsp;

Anybody with worries about their circulatory strain should screen it at home and keep a diary of the readings, the AHA recommends.&nbsp;

The initial step is to painstakingly pick a circulatory strain sleeve - the AHA suggests a programmed, sleeve style, upper-arm screen - not a wrist or finger screen - which are not as solid.&nbsp;

The AHA says to take pulse readings simultaneously every day, for example, morning or night. Follow these means to be certain that you get a precise perusing:&nbsp;

Try not to smoke, drink charged refreshments or exercise for at any rate 30 minutes prior to estimating your circulatory strain. Go to the restroom and void your bladder.&nbsp;

Sit with your back straight and upheld, which means sitting on a hard-sponsored seat at a work area or table, not a couch.&nbsp;

"Your feet should be level on the floor and your legs ought not be crossed. Your arm should be upheld on a level surface, (for example, a table) with the upper arm on the most fundamental level," the AHA suggests.&nbsp;

Move at your disposal - don't take the estimation over garments. Stay there for in any event five minutes of calm rest prior to beginning any estimations.&nbsp;

Follow the representations on your circulatory strain screen - one key advance is to be certain the lower part of the sleeve is set straightforwardly over the twist of the elbow.&nbsp;

Take different readings and record the outcomes. "Each time you measure, take a few readings one moment separated, and record the outcomes utilizing a printable tracker. On the off chance that your screen has inherent memory to store your readings, take it with you to your arrangements. A few screens may likewise permit you to transfer your readings to a safe site after you register your profile," the AHA suggests.

A brisk stroll once or twice a week is enough to reduce the risk of dying from heart attack, stroke or cancer, according to a statistical study of nearly 90,000 people released Tuesday.

People who walked or gardened 10 minutes to an hour each week had an 18 per cent lower risk of death from any cause compared to full-on couch potatoes, researchers reported in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.

Two-and-a-half to five hours weekly of such "moderate physical activity" -- broken into segments of no less than 10 minutes -- resulted in a 31 per cent reduction in risk, they found.

And those who clocked up at least 25 hours almost halved the risk.

Not everyone, however, has that much time to spend on leisure-time exercise, the authors acknowledged.

Heart-pumping and pulse-quickening activities such as biking, running and competitive sports "are more time-efficient than moderate intensity activity," they said.

For cardiovascular disease alone, there was no additional benefit to be gained by graduating from five to 25 hours, they noted.

Researchers led by Bo Xi, a professor in the Department of Epidemiology at Shandong University in northern China, sifted through data collected annually on 88,140 people in the United States between 1997 and 2008 for the National Health Interview Surveys.

That data on exercise was then matched against registered deaths through 2011.

The authors cautioned that the study was observational, meaning that no firm conclusions can be drawn about cause and effect. The fact that exercise data was self-reported was also a potential weakness.

But a large number of people covered by the research goes a long way to compensate for these methodological limitations, they added.
