Transcriptomic signatures of subcutaneous adipose tissue in patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease: a pilot study

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

The exact role of subcutaneous adipose tissue in the interplay between type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary artery disease (CAD) is yet to be determined. These preliminary results provide fertile ground for further research of potential targets for patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease.

Insulin sensitivity estimates and their longitudinal association with coronary artery disease in type 1 diabetes. Does it matter?

Cardiovascular Diabetology

Insulin resistance and chronic kidney disease are both associated with increased coronary artery disease risk. Many formulae estimating glucose disposal rate in type 1 diabetes infer insulin sensitivity from c.

New genetic risk score identifies individuals at risk for heart disease who may benefit most from cholesterol-lowering therapies

Science Daily - Heart Disease

Coronary artery disease (CAD), or the narrowing of the coronary arteries, is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Researchers developed a polygenic risk score that examines genes associated with EC function to identify individuals with higher CAD risk.

How To Reverse Coronary Artery Disease With Lifestyle Measures

Dr. Paddy Barrett

Reversing or regressing coronary artery disease is possible. But can coronary artery disease be reversed with lifestyle measures, including changes to nutrition and exercise? This research should support our approach of using BOTH lifestyle and medications to reverse plaque in the coronary arteries.
