High-Fat Diets Inflame Fat Tissue Around Blood Vessels, Contribute to Heart Disease
A study by researchers at the University of Cincinnati shows that high-fat diets, even if consumed for a short amount of time, can inflame fat tissue surrounding blood vessels, possibly contributing to cardiovascular disease. view more (2009-02-19)
AGGRESSIVE LIPID-LOWERING THERAPY IS MORE EFFECTIVE IN REDUCING ATHEROSCLEROSIS (pp 574, 577)
The risk of atherosclerosis in people with high blood cholesterol could be reduced by aggressive lipid-lowering therapy, conclude authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET. High LDL-cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol) is a risk factor for atherosclerosis, which in turn is a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Tineke Smilde... view more... (2001-02-21)
Treating obstructive sleep apnea, preventing heart attacks and strokes
Researchers in Brazil have found that treating patients who suffer from obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) dramatically reduces early indications of atherosclerosis in just months, linking OSA directly to the hardening or narrowing of the arteries. Until now, no study has demonstrated such a direct... view more... (2007-09-28)
Research suggests targeted treatment strategies for lupus
New research provides clues about the causes of lupus symptoms and suggests specific new targeted treatment strategies, according to Nilamadham Mishra, M.D., from Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, in presentations this week at the American College of Rheumatology in Boston. view more (2007-11-12)
Study uncovers potential biomarker for lupus atherosclerosis
A certain form of the normally "good" high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol linked to cardiovascular health plays a counterproductive role in people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis. view more (2005-11-16)
Vaccine may reduce the risk of heart attacks
In the future, could we be vaccinated against atherosclerosis--the disease that causes heart attacks, angina pectoris, and most cases of stroke? Research at Lund University's Department of Medicine in Malmö, Sweden, provides hope of this. Atherosclerosis starts with particles of LDL, called "bad cholesterol," getting stuck in a... view more... (2003-05-14)
Study finds significant independent association between air pollution and cardiovascular risk
The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) today published the findings of a study directed by Mount Sinai School of Medicine Researchers and funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH). view more (2005-12-22)
Cell Migration And Inflammation
Chronic inflammation comprises a vast array of diseases that affect millions of people worldwide. Chronic inflammatory diseases include asthma, arthritis, atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, autoimmune diseases and allergies, to name but a few. view more (2005-02-23)
Animal research raises possibility of end to fat-free diets
A new study in mice raises a tantalizing possibility - that humans may one day be able to eat any kind of fat they want without raising their risk of heart disease. view more (2007-05-08)
Key protein molecule linked to diverse human chronic inflammatory diseases
Liwu Li, associate professor of biological sciences at Virginia Tech, has revealed a common connection between the cellular innate immunity network and human chronic inflammatory diseases, including atherosclerosis, Type 2 Diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. view more (2008-09-16)
Erectile dysfunction may signal early atherosclerosis
Erectile dysfunction may be a sign that coronary artery disease is developing, even in men without typical risk factors, according to a new study in the Oct. 18, 2005, issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. view more (2005-10-12)
Combination HDL/LDL therapy has no effect on plaque build-up
For some patients with high cholesterol, even the most aggressive treatment with statin drugs fails to prevent coronary artery disease. Patients with hyperlipidemia - high LDL or "bad" cholesterol and trigylcerides, and low HDL or "good" cholesterol - and those with a family history of high cholesterol are at a high risk for... view more...

Drug that mimics 'good' cholesterol has mixed effect on coronary atherosclerosis
Patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS), such as heart attack and recent-onset chest pain, remain at considerable risk of experiencing further serious cardiovascular problems despite improvements in care. view more (2007-03-27)
Penn Researchers Show that Inhibiting Cholesterol-Associated Protein Reduces High-Risk Blockages in Arteries
Using the drug darapladib, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and colleagues have inhibited a cholesterol-and immune system-associated protein, thereby reducing the development of heart-disease plaques that may cause death, heart attacks, and strokes in a pig model of atherosclerosis and diabetes. view more (2008-09-23)
Biomarkers improve ischemic stroke prediction
Testing patient's blood for two proteins or biomarkers that occur when inflammation is present could help doctors identify which patients are more likely to have a stroke, said researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston in a report that appears online in the journal Stroke. view more (2008-12-19)
Japanese Researchers Get to the Heart of Atherosclerosis
Using positron emission tomography (PET), the medical isotope 15O-water and cold pressor tests, Japanese researchers were able to detect the beginnings of atherosclerosis—before the disease became clinically evident. view more (2006-06-05)
Blood pressure drug may have added benefit
University of Kentucky researchers have discovered a possible added benefit of a novel new drug that lowers blood pressure. view more (2008-02-15)
Drug for rheumatism possible boon to heart patients
Atheromatosis, which lies behind heart attacks, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems, has a major impact on public health. So does chronic rheumatoid arthritis. These two diseases are completely different from each other, but they do have one common denominator: inflammation. Researchers at Lund University in Sweden can now show that it might... view more...

Your Heart Could Indicate Whether You Have Kidney Problems
Cardiovascular risk factors appear to indicate deteriorating renal function in all adults. Researchers discovered various indicators of heart or vascular disease can signal that kidney function is on the decline in the general population, as just published in the May issue of Kidney International. view more (2005-05-12)
Study shows relationship between oral and cardiovascular health
New research is reinforcing the longstanding belief that a connection exists between periodontal disease, or severe gum inflammation, and cardiovascular disease. view more (2006-02-23)
