Researchers measured the leptin levels in heart attack patients and found that those with the highest levels of leptin were the most non-responsive to therapies designed to thin the blood. This is consistent with a building body of knowledge that leptin problems cause blood cells to stick together and are a primary risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease.

Nutrition and exercise which support heart health and leptin management play a crucial role in natural support for heart and circulatory health. Weight loss to restore proper leptin function is vital.
