What your language could tell you about your cardiac health
New research shows that bacteria on your language could help diagnose heart failure.
You probably already know all the means ofKeep your heart in good health As you get older, eating the right to exercise to have enough sleep. But you may not know that a surprising part of your body has a newly discovered link with your heart. According to recent research, the languages of people withheart failure Look separately different from the languages of people whose hearts are in working order. "Normal languages are pale red with a pale white coating", the study authorTianhui Yuan, MD, Hospital # 1 of the University of Guangzhou Chinese Medicine, said in a statement. "Heart failure Patients have a more red language with a yellow coating And the appearance changes as the disease becomes more advanced. "
It is because of the bacteria we all have on our languages. It turns out, the microbes of the language could actually be used forDiagnose heart failureAccording to Yuan's research presented in June on the discoveries on HFA, a scientific platform of the European Cardiology Society. Yuan and his team determined that the languages of patients with patients with heartbeat seemed not only different, but also had completely different microbiology results that could give doctors an important diagnostic tool to work.
The researchers took samples of language coatings of study topics to identify bacteria. They found that all the languages ofPatients with heart failure Shared microorganisms, as well as the languages of patients with healthy hearts, but there was no overlapping bacteria between the two groups.
Although you probably can not respect your language in the mirror and evaluate your own heart health, the results of this research could have a profound impact for health professionals. In the future, your doctor may take a sample of your language coating to determine if the bacteria present are associated with a healthy heart, or if your heart is in trouble.

"Our study revealed that the composition, quantity and dominant bacteria of the language coating differ between patients with heart failure and healthy people," Yuan said. "More research is needed, but our results suggest that language microbes, easy to obtain, could help with long-term monitoring, diagnosis and monitoring of heart failure."
