Practice changing study, funded by NIH and co-led by colleagues MGH Cardiovascular Imaging Research Center and MassGeneral Medicine, persons with HIV on pitavastatin, who were considered to be at a low risk for an event, had a 35% lower rate of major cardiovascular events compared to placebo: tinyurl.com/yeymn6yn

authors.elsevier.com/a/1hEms2d9GHwU… Study from my group, led by K Mezue and M Osborne. Low to moderate alcohol reduces CV events by reducing stress-related neural activity... at the cost of increased cancer risk. Best to find other ways to reduce stress...

A study led by #MassGeneral physician Shady Abohashem, MD, was covered by U.S. News & World Report. The study found that people with genetically-driven stress are more likely to suffer heart attacks after stressful events. usnews.com/news/health-ne…

Highly ignored/understudied, yet probably one of more important domain for deciphering cardiometabolic health Great work Sadeer Al-Kindi, MD and Sanjay!

Excited to share our study showing that exercise helps heart health in part by acting through the brain. By strengthening the prefrontal cortex, exercise cuts stress signals…which cuts heart disease events. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.…

In this paper on stress & CVD, we find a novel association between disruptions in the uncinate fasciculus and carotid atherosclerotic burden. Grateful to Ahmed Tawakol zahifayad for this opportunity and to Dave Mandy van Leent for all the help! academic.oup.com/eurheartj/arti…

I am thrilled to share our recent study, which reveals that hx of anxiety & depression significantly elevates risk of developing DVT, with risk level comparable to other traditional DVT risk factors. Our findings demonstrate that these psychiatric conditions appear to increase

New findings from G. Civieri show how depression accelerates the development of CVD risk factors. This gain in risk factors significantly explains the heightened risk of CVD seen with depression and is especially pronounced in younger women. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
