Story summary

On September 29, 2026, ABC News featured a segment where Dr. Michael Miller, a cardiologist, discussed the relationship between laughter, stress reduction, and heart health. Dr. Miller referenced recent research suggesting that laughing can lower stress levels, which in turn benefits cardiovascular health by reducing inflammation and improving blood vessel function.
