A new study from Stanford University in California found that a heart that has a more spherical (round) shape could have a 47% higher likelihood of developing heart disease in the future.
In the study, published in the journal Med on Wednesday, the researchers measured the roundness of the left ventricle, a typically cone-shaped chamber of the heart that pumps oxygen-rich blood to the body.
Next, the researchers analyzed the participants’ health records to identify which ones had certain genetic markers for heart conditions. The shape of someone’s heart could be a predictor of future cardiac disease, a new study from Stanford University found."Most people who practice cardiology are well aware that after someone develops heart disease, the heart will look more spherical," said Dr. Shoa Clarke, a preventive cardiologist and an instructor in the Stanford School of Medicine’s departments of medicine and pediatrics, in a press release announcing the findings.
The research team was surprised by the strong link between heart roundness and the risk for future cardiomyopathy, Clarke told Fox News Digital. "It was possible that heart shape may not have told us anything different than measurements of heart size or strength," he said. that is not picked up by other measurements."
