Cardio-Metabolic Diseases: We spoke to Dr Arun Kochar, Leading Cardiologist, and Consultant in Interventional Cardiology, Fortis Hospital, to understand more about this condition and how one can control it.
Inflammation is not a disease in itself but usually a symptomatic manifestation of some health condition
Heart attack is one of the leading causes of mortality in the world. To reduce the damage done by heart attacks, researchers in Australia are trying to develop a drug using the venom of a deadly spider.
The deceased, Pilla Lalitha, took the vaccine along with eight other village volunteers on Sunday. While all others suffered headache and fever-like symptoms, Lalitha's condition aggravated, leading to her death.

While human papillomavirus (HPV) have been linked to cancer, infection with high-risk strains of the virus might also increase the fear of cardiovascular disease (CVD), especially among women with obesity or other cardiovascular problems.
A new study now finds that statin therapy reduces risk of cardiovascular disease in older people.
Using liraglutide - an injectable drug widely used to lower blood sugar levels - may help reduce the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke or cardiovascular death, suggests a study.
The amount of time you sleep, including daytime naps, is associated with the risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and death, a new study warns.
