    JACC: Progression of subclinical atherosclerosis predicts all-cause mortality risk

    A study published in The Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC) demonstrates that the burden and progression of silent atherosclerosis in

    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.
