TUESDAY, Aug. 27, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Rising obesity rates, coupled with an associated jump in diabetes and high blood pressure cases, appears to be undoing decades of gains made against heart disease, a new study finds. After 2010, the rate of deaths from heart disease continued to drop, but more slowly. Deaths from stroke leveled off, and deaths from high blood pressure ("hypertension") increased, researchers report. "These findings are surprising and alarming, because despite medical and surgical advances and cardiovascular disease public policy initiatives around cholesterol and blood pressure awareness, we are losing ground in the battle against cardiovascular disease," said lead researcher Dr. Sadiya Khan. She is an assistant professor of cardiology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, in Chicago. "The culprit may be the rise in obesity," she added, though the study could not prove that definitively. "One of the greatest success stories of the past century has been the marked reduction in cardiovascular disease death rates," Khan said.
