Polygenic risk score identifies coronary artery disease patients at risk for sudden cardiac death.

Researchers in the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai are one step closer to identifying patients at highest risk for developing sudden cardiac death - an electrical malfunction in the heart that causes it to stop beating.

New discovery helps explain the dynamics underlying liver damage in type 2 diabetes and obesity

When fat accumulates in the liver, the immune system may assault the organ. A new study from Weill Cornell Medicine researchers identifies the molecule that trips these defenses, a discovery that helps to explain the dynamics underlying liver damage that can accompany type 2 diabetes and obesity.
