Omicron Variant of COVID-19 Does Not Cause Long-term Vascular Damage in Vaccinated Young Adults
Article title: Impact of breakthrough COVID-19 cases during the Omicron wave on vascular health and cardiac autonomic function in young adults Authors: Rachel J. Skow, Damsara Nandadeva, Ann-Katrin Grotle, Brandi Y. Stephens, Alexis N. Wright Paul J. Fadel From the…
Breakthrough Omicron COVID-19 Variant Cases Don’t Impair Vascular Health Post-infection in Young Otherwise Healthy Adults
New research finds vaccinated young adults who were diagnosed with COVID-19 during the “omicron wave” of late 2021 and early 2022 did not have lasting vascular impairment after active infection. The first-of-its-kind study is published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology.
Don’t Like Exercise? Try a Hot Tub Soak
Research suggests that soaking in a hot tub for 60 minutes may provide similar post-activity cardiovascular benefits as 60 minutes of cycling. This news could help people who are not able to exercise due to their health.

Marijuana May Increase Risk of Heart Disease in Healthy Adults
Article title: Habitual cannabis use is associated with altered cardiac mechanics and arterial stiffness, but not endothelial function in young healthy smokers Authors: Christian P. Cheung, Alexandra Michelle Coates, Philip J. Millar, Jamie F. Burr From the authors: “Our cross-sectional data…
COVID-19 Virus Causes Lasting Vascular Dysfunction in Healthy Young Adults
Article title: Vascular alterations among young adults with SARS-CoV-2 Authors: Stephen M. Ratchford, Jonathon L. Stickford, Valesha M. Province, Nina Stute, Marc A. Augenreich, Laurel K. Koontz, Landry K. Bobo, Abigail S.L. Stickford From the authors: “Using a cross-sectional design,…
Living near Trees May Prevent Vascular Damage from Pollution
Living near an abundance of green vegetation can offset the negative effects of air pollution on blood vessel health. The first-of-its-kind study is published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology.
Quick, Frequent Exercise Breaks Improve Blood Vessel Health in Type 2 Diabetes
Frequent exercise breaks during prolonged sitting may be better for blood vessel health in people with type 2 diabetes than less-frequent activity interruptions. The first-of-its-kind study is published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology.
Exercise Maintains Blood Vessel Health in Men after Sugary Beverage Consumption
Article title: Aerobic exercise offsets endothelial dysfunction induced by repetitive consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages in young healthy men Authors: Joshua M. Bock, Erika Iwamoto, Jeffrey G. Horak, Andrew J. Feider, Satoshi Hanada, Darren P. Casey From the authors: “Our data highlight…
Exercise Maintains Blood Vessel Health in Men after Sugary Beverage Consumption
A new study finds that regular exercise can offset the blood vessel impairment that occurs after drinking sugary soft drinks. The study is published ahead of print in the American Journal of Physiology-Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology.
