New 'atherosclerosis atlas' sheds light on heart attacks, strokes

Medical Xpress - Cardiology

University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have created an "atlas of atherosclerosis" that reveals, at the level of individual cells, critical processes responsible for forming the harmful plaque buildup that causes heart attacks, strokes, and coronary artery disease.
