High HDL-C levels and cardiovascular risks - what you need to know!

Research paper investigates the relationship between very high levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and cardiovascular outcomes in the general population. The study reveals that while men with high HDL-C face an increased risk of all-cause death and cardiovascular death, this association is not observed in women without coronary artery disease.

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.
