Activating protein enhances average lifespan, limits age-related disease in mice
Metabolism researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that although it does not extend maximum lifespan in mice, activating a protein in muscle tissue increases average lifespan and prevents some age-related diseases. view more (2007-12-05)
Atherothrombosis patients world-wide often have undertreated, undercontrolled risk factors
A large international study demonstrates that patients world-wide with atherothrombosis (coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral arterial disease) often have cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity and hypertension that are undertreated and undercontrolled. view more (2006-01-11)

Low-dose aspirin does not appear to reduce risk of CV events in patients with diabetes
Low-dose aspirin as primary prevention did not appear to significantly reduce the risk of a combined end point of coronary, cerebrovascular and peripheral vascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes, according to a new study in JAMA. view more (2008-11-10)
New research links social stress to harmful fat deposits, heart disease
A new study done by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine shows that social stress could be an important precursor to heart disease by causing the body to deposit more fat in the abdominal cavity, speeding the harmful buildup of plaque in blood vessels, a stepping stone to the number one cause of death in the world. view more (2009-08-05)
Study in Circulation provides detail on how low blood flow promotes vascular disease
Researchers have found the first direct proof that a key protein drives the clogging of arteries in two ways, and that lowering levels of it opens them up, according to study results published in the June edition of the journal Circulation. view more (2008-06-24)
Increased screening may better predict those at higher risk for heart disease, researchers report
Adding noninvasive imaging to current risk-assessment protocols may identify more people who are at risk of developing heart disease, UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers have found. view more (2008-05-27)

Unexpected finding of molecule's dual role in mice may open new avenue to cholesterol reduction
Researchers have discovered an unknown regulator of fat and cholesterol production in the liver of mice, a significant finding that could lead to new therapies for lowering unhealthy blood levels of cholesterol and fats. view more (2008-06-13)
New blood test may improve risk assessment for ischemic stroke in middle aged adults
diaDexus, Inc. and the Methodist DeBakey Heart Center today announced the publication of a landmark study in the American Medical Association's Archives of Internal Medicine demonstrating a greater than 11-fold increased risk of ischemic stroke in individuals with high levels of both lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2). view more (2005-11-29)
Are certain congenital birth defects and heart disease linked?
The study implicates homocysteine, a chemical by-product of human metabolism. Homocysteine is particularly important for cell growth and is regulated by enzymes, the activities of which are partly genetically determined, and partly affected by diet, including the levels of vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid in the blood. view more (1999-11-15)
