The method, validated in a multicenter study led by the Hospital Clínico San Carlos and the CNIC, enables preoperative planning based on a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging strategy that avoids the biases intrinsic to conventional image analysis

Cardiovascular risk factors (particularly metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and diabetes) alter coronary microvascular function and increase the risk of atherosclerotic disease, which itself leads to changes in the coronary microcirculation.

A study from CNIC reveals how risk factors and subclinical atherosclerosis affect heart microcirculation in asymptomatic middle-aged individuals. The research, published in JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, highlights the importance of assessing the heart vessels' ability to regulate blood flow and predict future cardiovascular risk

The new study, published in the journal Circulation, opens a new avenue of research into treatments for the atherosclerosis associated with progeria

The image represent glucose uptake in the brain measured by positron emission tomography in middle-aged individuals with low (top) or high (bottom) sustained cardiovascular risk over 5 years. The colors represent cerebral glucose consumption, with red indicating higher consumption and blue lower consumption

The project will examine long-term changes in plasma biomarkers of neuronal injury, neuroinflammation, and Alzheimer's disease in participants in the PESA-CNIC-SANTANDER study who have undergone imaging studies to map brain metabolism. The goal of the project is to determine how cardiovascular risk factors during midlife impact brain function
