GLP-1 Drugs and Stroke: What the Evidence Actually Shows
Do GLP-1 drugs lower stroke risk? Randomized trials show fewer ischemic strokes in high-risk type 2 diabetes, while hemorrhagic and obesity data remain uncertain.
High-Resistance IMST for Blood Pressure: What We Know

Why Exercise Vascular Benefits Vary After Menopause
Aerobic exercise improves cardiometabolic health after menopause, but artery function may vary. New evidence points to nitric oxide, not faulty sensing.
Exercise Dose for Better FMD: What Studies Can Actually Say
Can HIIT, frequency, or longer sessions improve flow-mediated dilation? Here's what heart failure and healthy-aging trials actually show about exercise dose.
Post-Exercise Hot Baths: Vascular Gains, Not Metabolic Magic
