Drug-metabolizing enzyme may be a major player in safety concerns related to the painkiller diclofenac

Safety concerns related to the widely used painkiller diclofenac may be tied to a little-studied drug-metabolizing enzyme whose expression can vary as much as 3,000 times from one individual to the next, according to new research.

Mice study reveals a way to turn back the clock after heart attack

A recent study using mice has revealed a way to turn back the clock after heart attack. The researchers behind the work used RNAs to instruct cells in an injured heart to eliminate scar tissue and recreate cardiac muscle, allowing the heart to function like new again.

Latest single cell technology identifies cell types related to CAD pathogenesis

A new study from the University of Eastern Finland identified 12 different cell types involved in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease, CAD. The researchers also showed that the genetic risk factors for CAD take their effect especially via smooth vascular muscle cells, which change their phenotype as the disease progresses.

New model for proteomic cardiovascular risk assessment among chronic kidney disease patients

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a strong cardiovascular risk factor and is often accompanied by hypertension and diabetes. Despite the disease's prevalence - 10 percent of individuals across the globe suffer from CKD - there are limited tools for measuring cardiac risk for CKD patients, until now.

Endothelial deletion of the Wt1 gene affects coronary vessel formation and myocardial development

How is the mammals' heart formed? What role do endothelial cells play? Do the same pathways and genes involved in the formation of the embryonic heart also play a role in repair processes?

Evidence supports Mediterranean and low-fat diets for reducing mortality and heart attack risks in high-risk patients

A new research paper performed a cross-analysis of a spectrum of dietary programs, from those requiring little intervention to detailed, multifaceted programs, examining the mortality and major cardiovascular events over a follow-up period.

Hypertension in childhood often leads to high blood pressure in adulthood

High blood pressure in children is not uncommon, and research shows it may lead to high blood pressure in adulthood, as well as problems with the heart, blood vessels and kidneys, according to a new scientific statement from the American Heart Association published today in the Association's Hypertension journal.

Losing weight with lifestyle changes may reduce cardiovascular risk- even if some weight is regained

Losing weight with lifestyle changes in an intensive behavioral weight loss program was associated with a decrease in risk factors for cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes for at least five years - even if some weight was regained, according to a systematic review of research, published today in Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes, a peer-reviewed American Heart Association journal.
