    JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging: Cardiometabolic risk factors in apparently healthy individuals are linked to altered 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

    CNIC Co-Leads REACT, an international precision medicine project to transform cardiovascular prevention

    Globally, cardiovascular diseases due to atherosclerosis – the build-up of plaque in arteries – are the leading cause of death. A new Danish-Spanish research collaboration aims to develop methods to detect atherosclerosis at earlier ages and encourage prevention. Denmark’s Novo Nordisk Foundation has granted up to EUR 23 million to cover the first 2.5 years of the REACT initiative. The initiative is expected to run for 8 years in total
