Research 30 Aug 2024 Two studies carried out at the CNIC provide key information about a newly identified cardiovascular risk factor, clonal hematopoiesis, and its treatment with the ancient medication colchicine |
About the CNIC 15 May 2024 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 |
Research 19 Apr 2024 The results, published in JACC, suggest that these factors could be used to predict the risk of developing dilated cardiomyopathy and adapt strategies for patient care and disease detection in genetic carriers of the disease |
About the CNIC 9 Feb 2024 The National Center for Cardiovascular Research Carlos III (CNIC) is excited to announce the upcoming edition of the CNIC Conferences |
Research 1 Feb 2024 A study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research reveals smooth muscle-derived cells as a new target for reducing the size of atherosclerotic plaque. The results open up new avenues for the design of treatments to enhance the beneficial effect of cholesterol-lowering drugs |
Research 23 Jan 2024 The most potent genetic risk factor for Alzheimer disease, APOE4, is associated with an elevated risk of developing subclinical atherosclerosis in middle age, whereas the Alzheimer-protective variant of the same gene, APOE2, protects against subclinical atherosclerosis |
