A single combined measurement of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, LDL-cholesterol and lipoprotein(a) levels in plasma predicts incident cardiovascular events among women over a 30-year follow-up period, according to a new study.

Cardiomyocytes can activate the type I interferon response in the infarct border zone after myocardial infarction, indicating that the type I interferon pathway, in addition to its well-established role in antiviral responses, is also involved in cardiac injury.

New research suggests that the presence of clonal haematopoiesis is unidirectionally associated with the development of atherosclerosis and that colchicine holds potential therapeutic value.

The immune response is not unlike a game of chess, with white and black pieces playing opposing roles and orchestrating an opening, a middle and an endgame of innate immunity, adaptive immunity and resolution, respectively. After decades of research, the study of atheroimmunology has brought the first therapeutics to the clinic. Can we resynchronize the immune system in atherosclerosis and save the king?

Acute ischaemic stroke induces persistent innate immune memory through epigenetic changes in myeloid progenitors in the bone marrow, and this innate immune training contributes to cardiac remodelling and dysfunction in the long term, according to a new study.

A new small-molecule inhibitor of vasohibins reduces myocardial stiffness and improves diastolic relaxation in a rat model of HFpEF.
