Scientists at the CNIC have discovered that metabolic cardiovascular risk factors diminish the capacity of the heart to use glucose as an energy source

A CNIC study extends the understanding of how acquired mutations in blood cells act as a new cardiovascular risk factor

A study published in Nature Cell Biology confirms that caveolae are essential for the mechanical responses of tissues subject to large mechanical forces (such as muscle, heart, blood vessels, and fat), whereas larger membrane depressions (termed 'dolines') are important for the response to weak or medium-strength forces

A CNIC team has shown that the  retinoid and unsaturated fatty acid sensor RXR is a key protein in the maintenance of a balanced production of the different types of blood cells

Researchers from the CNIC and Columbia University (USA) review the role of acquired mutations and clonal hematopoiesis in cardiovascular disease

In an article published in JACC, CNIC scientists report a method for improved ranking of cardiovascular risk in individuals without diabetes

The diagnosis of acute myocarditis is challenging, and the availability of a sensitive and specific early marker of acute myocardial inflammation could have a major impact on its clinical diagnosis

The new insight supports the need to keep both LDL cholesterol and blood pressure low throughout life by healthy diet choices, weight control, exercise, and, when needed, by drug therapy
