The study, published in Europace, uses signals from implantable devices—pacemakers and defibrillators—to analyze electrical signals in the heart during episodes of atrial fibrillation

The project aims to study how certain mutations acquired in blood cells and traditionally associated with a high risk of developing leukemia can also contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease and become a new and independent cardiovascular risk factor to classical factors

Dra. Ivana Nikolić studies the role of T cells in the development of diseases associated with obesity

A new study published in Circulation Research shows that loss of cardiac expression of SRSF3 leads to a critical reduction in the expression of genes related to contraction

• Adiponectin, secreted by adipose tissue, protects against the development of the main form of liver cancer
• Women produce the hormone in larger quantities than men, and adiponectin release also declines in people with obesity
• The results open the route to combating a cancer for which there is currently no treatment and that is the fourth cause of death in the world.

The expression on lymphocytes of the molecule CD69 inversely predicts the development of subclinical (symptom-free) atherosclerosis independently of classical cardiovascular risk factors
