Despite significantly raising HDL, torcetrapib failed to slow the progression of coronary plaques
Investigators reported today that torcetrapib, a drug that substantially raises high-density lipoprotein cholesterol or HDL (the "good" cholesterol), did not slow the progression of plaque buildup in the coronary arteries as measured using an ultrasound probe (IVUS). view more (2007-03-27)
Hebrew University one of 25 institutions involved in new European vasculer genomics network
The Hebrew University of Jerusalem is one of only 25 institutions represented in the European Vascular Genomics Network (EVGN), whose operational launch was announced this week by Inserm, the French National Institute of Health and Medical Research. EVGN is the first European Union-funded network in the field of cardiovascular diseases. The... view more... (2004-05-12)
Pigeons provide clue to solving common problem in heart patients
Through studying pigeons with genetic heart disease, researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have discovered a clue about why some patients' heart vessels are prone to close back up after angioplasty. view more (2006-07-31)
Diabetes drug may reduce cardiovascular risks
A drug commonly used to increase the body's sensitivity to insulin may slow the progression of cardiovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. view more (2006-11-14)
Genetic variants of USF1 are associated with the increased risk for cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are major contributors to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Several interacting environmental, biochemical, and genetic risk factors can increase disease susceptibility. view more (2008-04-08)
Arteries from distinct regions of the body have unique immune functions
Human arteries play distinct roles in the immune system depending on their anatomical location, researchers at Emory University School of Medicine have discovered. view more (2008-09-04)
Study in Nature Medicine establishes major new treatment target in diseased arteries
Removing a single protein prevents early damage in blood vessels from triggering a later-stage, frequently lethal complication of atherosclerosis. view more (2009-05-11)
New approach discovered to lowering triglycerides
Studies done with laboratory rats suggest that supplementation of their diet with lipoic acid had a significant effect in lowering triglycerides, which along with cholesterol levels and blood pressure are one of the key risk factors in cardiovascular disease. view more (2009-03-31)
Belly fat may drive inflammatory processes associated with disease
As scientists learn more about the key role of inflammation in diabetes, heart disease and other disorders, new research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis suggests that fat in the belly may be an important promoter of that inflammation. view more (2007-03-14)
Diabetes complications rooted in faulty cell repair
University of Florida researchers say primitive cells that act like molecular maintenance men-traveling throughout the body to repair damaged blood vessels-become too rigid to move in patients with diabetes, fueling the disease's vascular complications. view more (2006-01-26)
Genetic variation may lead to early cardiovascular disease
Researchers from Duke University Medical Center have identified a variation in a particular gene that increases susceptibility to early coronary artery disease. view more (2009-01-05)
Regular exercise helps obese youths reduce, reverse risk for heart disease, study shows
Regular exercise can help obese children shrink more than just their waistlines, new research shows. view more (2006-10-31)
Gladstone scientists identify genetic factors that hold promise for treatment of vascular diseases
Researchers at the Gladstone Institute of Cardiovascular Disease (GICD) have discovered a key switch that makes stem cells turn into the type of muscle cells that reside in the wall of blood vessels. view more (2009-07-06)
Researchers identify how binge drinking may drive heart disease
As the holidays arrive, a group of researchers has identified the precise mechanisms by which binge drinking contributes to clogs in arteries that lead to heart attack and stroke, according to a study published today in the journal Atherosclerosis. view more (2008-11-26)
Body's "wonder gas" could tackle asthma and heart disease
The body's all-pervasive "wonder gas" nitric oxide is giving up its secrets to a high-powered team of researchers at the Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research at University College London and the knowledge may lead to new treatments for asthma, heart disease, joint problems and a range of other conditions. The work is being led by... view more... (2000-04-10)
Inherent vascular repair key to atherosclerosis
The progression of the artery-clogging disease atherosclerosis is linked to the inability of specialized bone marrow cells to continuously repair damage to the arterial lining. view more (2005-11-08)
Study reveals mounting evidence of fish oil's heart health benefits
There is mounting evidence that omega-3 fatty acids from fish or fish oil supplements not only help prevent cardiovascular diseases in healthy individuals, but also reduce the incidence of cardiac events and mortality in patients with existing heart disease. view more (2009-08-04)
Incidental findings found when radiologists take a 'broader' look at renal MRA
Radiologists need to look beyond the renal arteries when doing renal MR angiography (MRA), a study conducted at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN suggests. view more (2007-09-25)
Mapping the genetic locus for triglycerides
Researchers have mapped out a region on human chromosome 1 that contributes to genetically elevated blood triglyceride levels, a major risk factor for heart disease. view more (2008-04-28)
A new guideline for screening apparently healthy individuals to prevent a heart attack
To accelerate the adoption and standardization of heart attack screening methods, the July 10th edition of the American view more (2006-07-10)
