Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "The Shot That Heals Following a Heart Attack
Cardiologists at Texas A&M are developing a one-shot therapy that could help your heart recover during the weeks following a heart attack.
The treatment uses self-amplifying RNA (saRNA), a technology similar to that used in some modern vaccines. After a simple injection into your arm muscle, your cells temporarily receive instructions to produce more of a natural heart-protective hormone called ANP.
Here’s why that helps:
• ANP helps reduce stress on the heart.
• It limits tissue damage and scarring.
• It supports healing during the critical recovery window.
Because the RNA instruction molecule copies itself, one injection keeps the ANP hormone circulating for several weeks, helping your heart repair itself during the most vulnerable and dangerous period.
Preclinical research shows self-amplifying RNA improves heart healing and protects vulnerable heart muscle after a heart attack. Critical human trials are still ahead. If they confirm these results, doctors could one day give one shot to help your heart recover more effectively following a heart attack.

Howard G. Smith MD, AM on Instagram: "Two Sleep Issues Multiply Your Cardiovascular Risks
Wait—this isn’t just about feeling tired the next day. A new peer-reviewed study by sleep researchers at Yale School of Medicine, published in the Journal of the American Heart Association shows that veterans with both insomnia and sleep apnea face dramatically higher cardiovascular risks.
Researchers followed nearly 1 million U.S. veterans receiving care through the Veterans Health Administration. Here’s what they found:
• People with both insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea have more than a 2 fold higher risk of developing hypertension.
• Their risk of cardiovascular disease is nearly 4× higher.
• Having both sleep disorders is far more dangerous than having either one alone.
• The increased risk appears in both men and women.
Why this matters for you:
Millions of people think poor sleep is just annoying, but untreated sleep disorders may quietly raise your risk for high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. What are the signs of disordered sleep? Loud snoring that wakes your partner, waking up gasping, or repeated problems falling asleep.
If this sounds like you, speak with your medical team about sleep and cardiovascular evaluations
