About this listen

In this episode, we dive into a fascinating discovery about how sleep impacts heart health after a heart attack. Recent research shows that after a myocardial infarction, the body naturally promotes more sleep, which helps reduce inflammation and protect the heart from further damage. By examining how immune cells interact with the brain and heart, scientists have uncovered an unexpected link between rest and recovery. Join us to explore how this “healing sleep” might hold the key to better heart recovery and what it means for those facing heart conditions. Whether you're a health enthusiast or just curious, this episode brings science to life in an accessible and engaging way! https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-08100-w
