A blood fat's link to artery risk may depend on inflammation

Having high levels of both markers carried an odds ratio of 6.26 for plaque in multiple artery regions, while high particle levels alone showed no significant…Having high levels of both markers carried an odds ratio of 6.26 for plaque in multiple artery regions, while high particle levels alone showed no significant association.

Artery cross-sections show heavy plaque beside abundant fatty particles and inflammation markers, and an open artery with fewer markers.

Blood levels of renin are linked to organ damage and death

In 48,739 UK Biobank participants followed for a median of 15.3 years, lower renin was linked to higher blood pressure and higher renin to increased mortality.In 48,739 UK Biobank participants followed for a median of 15.3 years, lower renin was linked to higher blood pressure and higher renin to increased mortality.

A heart shape measure was linked to stroke and heart failure risk

Higher values were linked to lower stroke risk (hazard ratio 0.81) but higher heart failure risk (1.28) over a median 4.4 years.Higher values were linked to lower stroke risk (hazard ratio 0.81) but higher heart failure risk (1.28) over a median 4.4 years.

Uneven heart structure and motion link to higher cardiac risk

In an observational study of 60,746 people followed for a median of 5.7 years, greater regional variation across heart scans was linked to higher cardiovascular risk.In an observational study of 60,746 people followed for a median of 5.7 years, greater regional variation across heart scans was linked to higher cardiovascular risk.

Heart cross-sections contrast uneven dark blue-green muscle walls with more uniform gray walls, beside differently curved muscle fibers.
