Their findings could lead to new therapies for people with endothelial dysfunction, a type of disorder that contributes to coronary artery disease that may occlude with plaque and lack ability to carry sufficient blood into the heart tissue causing a heart attack.

The early detection of plaques by circulating biomarkers is highly clinically relevant to prevent the occurrence of major complications such as stroke or heart attacks. miRNA expression profiles of serum-derived EVs were obtained by small RNA sequencing and in plaque material simultaneously acquired from patients.

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.

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 3 Patients with ASCVD are at a higher risk for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) including heart attack or myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and cardiovascular (CV) death.4

Cross-sectional studies reveal that endurance athletes, particularly middle-aged and older men, often exhibit higher coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) and plaque prevalence compared to less-active individuals. Notably, athletes engaging in very vigorous-intensity exercise are more likely to develop calcified plaques.
