New 'Atherosclerosis Atlas' Sheds Light on Heart Attacks, Strokes

DAIC

MILLER, PHD, LED THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW "ATHEROSCLEROSIS ATLAS" THAT DETAILS, AT THE LEVEL OF INDIVIDUAL CELLS, CRITICAL PROCESSES RESPONSIBLE FOR FORMING THE HARMFUL PLAQUE BUILDUP THAT CAUSES HEART ATTACKS, STROKES AND CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE. When they break loose, they can be deadly, triggering strokes and heart attacks.

Abstract TP245: Identifying Ischemic Stroke Etiology Through Cytokine Biomarkers

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page ATP245-ATP245, February 1, 2024. Background:Ischemic stroke can arise from various etiologies, such as cardioembolism, atherosclerosis, small vessel disease or cryptogenic. Accurate identification of stroke etiology is vital for secondary stroke prevention. p<0.01).Conclusions:Our

Abstract 131: Association Between Left Ventricular Injury Detected by Cardiac MRI and Incident Ischemic Stroke: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Stroke Journal

Stroke, Volume 55, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A131-A131, February 1, 2024. The primary outcome was incident ischemic stroke. There were a total of 18 ischemic stroke events among those with LVI (6%) and 65 among those without LVI (3%). LV apical circumferential strain>-10% may be a novel and quantitative stroke risk factor.

Associations between circulating proteins and cardiometabolic diseases: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational and Mendelian randomisation studies

Heart BMJ

Background Integration of large proteomics and genetic data in population-based studies can provide insights into discovery of novel biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for cardiometabolic diseases (CMD). There were 245 potentially causal protein biomarkers identified in MR pooled results, involving 23 pleiotropic proteins.
