    NEJM: The polypill reduces cardiovascular mortality by 33% in patients treated after myocardial infarction

    The results of the SECURE trial, coordinated by CNIC were presented in a Hot Line session at the European Society of Cardiology meeting (ESC 2022) in Barcelona and published at the NEJM

    Participants who followed the TANSNIP-PESA program (orange line) showed an improvement in lifestyle measures and cardiovascular health compared with participants in the control group (who did not participate in the intervention; blue line). The Y-axis shows changes in the Fuster -BEWAT lifestyle and cardiovascular risk score with respect to the baseline value.

    The BrightFocus Foundation grants an Alzheimer’s Disease Research Standard Award to a CNIC project

    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
