A study by an international team of cardiac imaging specialists, led by researchers at Johns Hopkins, concludes that sophisticated computed tomography (CT) scans of the heart and its surrounding arteries are almost as reliable and accurate as more invasive procedures to check for blockages. Researche...

GENERX is an angiogenic gene therapy which triggers the production of a protein that stimulates new blood vessel growth providing an alternative route for blood to bypass clogged and blocked arteries in the heart. GENERX involves a one... N Listed - 《Biodrugs Clinical Immunotherapeutics Biopharma...
LDL cholesterol, also known as low-density lipoprotein (orbadcholesterol), is linked to heart disease and clogged arteries. Total cholesterol to HDL ratio test Calculating this ratio can help determine an individual’s risk of developing a heart disease. It is worked out by dividing HDL cholester...
For example, electrolyte abnormalities (calcium or potassium) or hypothermia (low body temperature) can lead to recognizable changes in the ECG. Does an ECG show clogged arteries? Heart muscle that does not have adequate blood supply conducts electricity differently than heart cells with normal blood...
The work could complicate the legal situation for the few dozen women each year who make claims against tampon makers. Procter & Gamble is “probably trying to develop a defence by saying ‘but for a genetic component this would never have happened, so don’t blame the tampon’,” says med...
29) Tay-Sachs disease is a human genetic abnormality that results in cells accumulating and becoming clogged with very large and complex lipids. Which cellular organelle must be involved in this condition?A) the endoplasmic reticulumB) the Golgi apparatusC) the lysosomeD) mitochondriaE) membrane-...
NICE explains that the ankle brachial pressure should be measured with the person resting and supine if possible, and that measurements should be taken manually using a doppler probe of suitable frequency in preference to an automated system. The index in each leg should be calculated by dividing...
Similarly, assessing levels of the biomarker in diabetics also could help doctors in deciding which patients might need heart procedures like stenting to open clogged coronary arteries or more invasive bypass surgery. "Until now, despite multiple studies, we...
