A molecule produced by gut bacteria can trigger heart disease, according to research published in Nature. Scientists at ...

The discovery, made thanks to an experiment involving hundreds of bank employees in Spain, opens the door to new treatments beyond reducing cholesterol ...

A bacterially produced molecule circulates in the bloodstream and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease by hijacking ...

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and often originates in atherosclerosis, a chronic condition in which inflammation and fat deposits cause arteries to harden and narrow.

A CNIC-led study has identified imidazole propionate, a metabolite produced by gut bacteria, as a driver of atherosclerosis—a ...

ImP administration to mouse model induced atherosclerosis without altering the lipid profile, and was associated with immune activation and inflammation.

A new study shows that cells in atherosclerotic blood vessels grow in a way that resembles tumor development. This finding ...

Atherosclerosis usually does not cause any notable symptoms until an artery is more than 70% covered by plaque buildup. True. When plaques form, they narrow the artery and reduce blood flow.

Individuals in the general population with high levels of silent coronary atherosclerosis can be successfully identified with a simple questionnaire that they can complete themselves at home, a ...

However, people with subclinical atherosclerosis, whose CVD is detectable on imaging but has not translated into a major cardiovascular event, fall somewhere between primary and secondary prevention.

The REVERSing Atherosclerosis with Aggressive Lipid Lowering (REVERSAL) study measured changes in atheroma burden as assessed by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), a technique that Dr. Nissen has ...
