What coverage agrees on
Reporting broadly agrees that chronic inflammation is associated with higher cardiovascular risk and with silent heart changes in a large UK data set.
Heart Disease
Inflammation Tied to Hidden Heart Damage
CATCH ME UP
Nearly 480,000 adults were analyzed in a major UK study.
Chronic inflammation was linked to a 43 percent higher risk of heart attack and stroke.
Researchers also found associations with structural heart changes.
High inflammation levels were linked to socioeconomic disadvantage, psychological distress, and genetics.
Why it mattersIf inflammation quietly harms the heart, earlier detection could help prevent attacks and lasting damage.
More context
Experts said millions may have hidden inflammation.
Future anti-inflammatory treatments could help prevent cardiovascular disease before symptoms develop.

Inflammation ups heart attack risk by 43%, large UK study finds
Quick source take
A major UK study of nearly 480000 adults reports that chronic inflammation is linked to a 43 percent higher risk of heart attack and stroke. Researchers from the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences and Imperial College London analysed UK Biobank data and found that high inflammation levels are associated with structural heart changes, socioeconomic disadvantage, psychological distress, and genetics. Experts state that millions may have hidden inflammation and suggest that future anti-inflammatory treatments could help prevent cardiovascular disease before symptoms develop.
