A bill quietly introduced this spring in the Colorado legislature to decriminalize the possession of drug paraphernalia obtained by harm reductionists has become law.

Medically reviewed by Angela Ryan Lee, MDMedically reviewed by Angela Ryan Lee, MDHeart failure (HF) is a condition that occurs when there is a problem with the structure or function of your heart. This makes it difficult for your heart to pump blood throughout the body effectively. If you have heart failure, either your heart's lower chambers don't fill up efficiently with blood, or the heart is too weak to pump blood effectively to the rest of the body. However, the stage of heart failure you're in will dictate the severity of your symptoms. There are two complementary classification systems that...

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Severe Tooth Loss Linked to Risk of Fatal Heart Disease, Study Finds

For decades, sodium restriction has been a cornerstone in the management of heart failure, driven by the belief that reducing salt intake helps control fluid retention and improve outcomes. Heart failure is marked by the activation of the renin-angiotensin and noradrenergic systems, leading to fluid retention. Consequently, limiting sodium intake has been seen as a way to mitigate these effects and reduce edema and other complications associated with heart failure.

Q. My mother has atrial fibrillation. She takes a blood thinner to prevent stroke, but are there other risks she should know about?. A. Atrial fibrillation (also known as afib) is a common disorder marked by a rapid, irregular heart rhythm that causes blood to pool in the heart's upper chambers, or atria. The stagnant blood can form clots, which may then travel to the brain and cause a stroke. That's why people with afib take blood thinners, which don't actually "thin" the blood but rather discourage clot formation. While doctors have long warned about the heightened risk of stroke with afib, a recent study found that heart failure — when the heart fails to pump adequate amounts of blood to the body — might be a risk that occurs even more often.
