So here’s an interesting finding in a recent study published in the Journal of Cardiology. About 22,000 male doctors were followed over 22 years for the development of heart failure, which is the hearts ability to effectively pump blood around the body. The study found that the taller the men were, the less likely it was that they developed heart failure, 24% less likely for the men over 6 feet tall. Now this doesn’t mean that there is a direct connection to height and heart failure. Perhaps there were reasons for some being taller other than genetics, like poorer nutrition growing up which led to an increased risk for heart disease later in life and a shorter stature. What the results do tell us are that there are probably lots of factors that are still unknown about what causes heart failure. The best thing you can do is to eat right, exercise, and visit your doctor at least annually to get your blood pressure checked and get routine blood tests.
