Research uncovers hidden link between heart attacks and cancer

 Israeli researchers have uncovered a surprising link between heart attacks and cancer. Turns out, the healing process after a heart attack might actually fuel cancer growth.

They found that tiny bubbles released by the damaged heart, called sEVs, can act like little messengers, encouraging cancer cells to multiply throughout the body. 
 
The good news is, they discovered a way to block these sEVs using existing drugs like spironolactone. In tests on animals, this approach slowed tumor growth by a third. This discovery could lead to new treatments that protect heart attack survivors from developing cancer.
