New Research Connects Heart Attacks to Brain, Nervous and Immune Systems 01/28/2026

“When an injury or illness is detected, the brain responds by activating the immune system. A heart attack triggers a similar immune response. But while the brain considers a heart attack an injury, there are no pathogens or bacteria to defend against. This overactivation of the immune system likely worsens the damage.”

New Research Connects Heart Attacks to Brain, Nervous and Immune Systems UC San Diego scientists have uncovered a transformative new understanding of heart attacks. The research, which connects the heart, brain and nervous and immune systems, shows that blocking key signals can lead to new treatments for heart attacks and minimize their resulting damage.

After NOT going to the gym for 15 months!
😫🤕 I wasn’t sure what I was able to do with two COMPLETE tears in my rotator cuff & a tear in my bicep long tendon; so I just biked & ran….a lot!

No weights, no yoga, though I was very diligent with the home PT exercises, my physical therapist taught me & the pain went away! 🙏🏼 I’m sure not ready for a REVERSE SHOULDER REPLACEMENT or any cortisone shots, so I decided to see what I COULD DO with a personal TRAINER ~ it’s even better when his spouse works for your orthopedic shoulder Doc!

So in July, I felt more than ready to start back with some kinda workout! First, starting the sessions two days a week; then late August adding a third day. OUCH to ALL the muscles!! 😵 He challenges me each week & adjusts when needed to strengthen around the deficits & all the little pains, I’ve collected over the years.

So very,very GRATEFUL I’m able & capable to get stronger as I’m aging. It’s TOUGH & rewarding me with stronger bones, energy & focus! Hello? Who doesn’t need that??

Consistency & routines look different for everyone. GOALS & regular movement are mine.

Don’t put off what you can start NOW…time is a-tick in’! ⏳

Scientists explore new frontier in autoimmune disease treatment by resetting 'rogue' cells When your body’s immune cells attack you instead of protecting you, today’s treatments tamp down the friendly fire but they don’t fix what’s causing it. Now in dozens of studies, scientists are testing ways to reprogram patients' out-of-whack immune systems.
