Human heart attack, computer illustration. The risk for recurrent MACE was high among survivors of a first ever acute coronary syndrome with a substantial number of these being fatal; 34.4% had MACE ...

Researchers have used a combination of genome-wide association analysis -- or GWAS -- and a trans-ancestry comparison of different GWAS studies, to come up with a more accurate predictor of coronary ...

What Is Coronary Calcification And Why Does It Matter? Coronary calcification (CC) refers to calcium deposits in the walls of the arteries of the heart. While people often have no symptoms at first, ...

After decades of decline, fatal coronary heart disease may rise again unless Americans modify three major risk factors: smoking, drinking, and obesity. A Rutgers study just published in American Heart ...

The coronary artery supplies blood to the heart. If calcium builds up in the coronary artery, it can lead to coronary artery disease and increase a person’s risk of a heart attack. Calcium is the most ...

Using single cell technology, a new study sheds light on the significance of genetic risk factors for, and the diversity of cells involved in, the development of coronary artery disease. The ...
