Mashup Score: 36Unlocking the mysteries of a heart disease trigger | NHLBI, NIH - 10 month(s) ago
As the body ages, it is normal for changes in cells to occur. “Cells divide every day and mutations happen,” said Emma M. Groarke, M.D., an attending hematologist and researcher in NHLBI’s Hematopoiesis and Bone Marrow Failure Laboratory. “Most of the time they don’t have any effect.” Yet, for some people, mutations in blood-forming cells can multiply and lead to something called clonal hematopoiesis. For a small subgroup of those who have it, this can significantly increase risks for developing heart disease, blood cancer, and other conditions.

Mashup Score: 27Can artificial intelligence help save lives? | NHLBI, NIH - 11 month(s) ago
In the field of cardiovascular health, NHLBI-funded scientists are using computers to save lives through artificial intelligence. Their focus: using AI to help doctors more accurately predict risks for heart disease – the number one global killer – and diagnose serious cardiovascular problems.

Mashup Score: 0Lipoprotein(a): What to know about elevated levels | NHLBI, NIH - 12 month(s) ago
Lp(a) is a type of lipid, or fat, in the body that contains and is similar in structure to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often thought of as “bad cholesterol.” Like LDL cholesterol, Lp(a) deposits cholesterol in the arteries and can show up in plaque. It’s also found in cells that line small blood vessels and in tissues where regeneration and healing occur. Elevated Lp(a) levels are a cardiovascular disease risk factor.
