Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is a global public health problem. This form accounts for about half of all cases of heart failure, but it is three times more common in women. At the same time, among the fair sex aged 55 to 64 years, this form of heart failure is observed four times more often.

This cream has no negative impact on heart health, and now the researchers will try to find out if it also provides protection to the main pump in our body. (READ MORE)
