Rotterdam Study reveals calcified plaques double bleeding risk, challenging assumptions about plaque stability in subclinical ...

The mentioned two tests are identified as key blood markers for detecting hidden inflammation and potential heart issues, ...

Gum disease or inflammation, like gingivitis, has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease. Here's how flossing can help.

A study of 24,000 adults finds low-fiber, high-meat diets are linked to dangerous coronary plaques that could raise the risk of heart attacks.

Severe allergic reactions can rarely trigger heart attacks, a condition called Kounis syndrome. Insect stings, food, or ...

Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark and Odense University Hospital have studied tissue from patients with ...

In some cases, anaphylaxis can narrow the coronary arteries, further reducing blood flow to the heart muscle. But the most ...

Low-dose colchicine therapy may not alter pericoronary adipose tissue attenuation but can help in improving plaque stability in patients with chronic coronary disease.

Discover how calcified carotid plaques predict higher risk of haemorrhage, with men showing greater plaque progression.

Most people with coronary atherosclerosis benefit from a statin drug, which helps stabilize plaque and prevent rupture (the beginning of a heart attack). Aspirin helps prevent a blood clot, ...

Using data from the Rotterdam Study in the Netherlands, researchers have uncovered that carotid artery plaques can ...

The degree of calcification is thought to promote plaque stability, which then potentially lowers the risk of potential rupture. Ruptured plaques can lead to the formation of a blood clot.
