Ray J says he's taking eight prescription medications for his heart condition and has been advised to stay in bed and avoid drinking alcohol and smoking.

Research has linked it to higher risks of multiple major cardiovascular conditions, even if you exercise, eat well and get good sleep.

'My heart's only beating 25 percent,' Ray J revealed in a January 2026 social media video. Here's what we know about his health setback.

When the heart's muscle is weakened or injured due to a heart attack, it can make it hard for the heart to pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. Over time, it can lead to heart failure, where the heart's function drops below 40%.

Brandon Buckingham suffered multiple organ failure last year due to tuberculosis. Buckingham shared that his liver, kidney, and pancreas have fully recovered, but he is still in heart failure.

Heart failure is a chronic condition in which the heart cannot pump blood and oxygen effectively enough to support other organs.

A new study revealed that men may reach cardiovascular heart disease risk significantly earlier than women. Here’s what was found.

New study reveals men face heart attack risk seven years earlier than women, starting in mid-30s. Northwestern research highlights the need for earlier screening.

Doctors may soon be able to tell just how sick a heart failure patient really is by using a routine MRI scan, thanks to new research from the University of East Anglia.
