Study Helps Explain How COVID-19 Heightens Risk of Heart Attack & Stroke

In some patients, infection with the pandemic virus SARS-CoV-2 can trigger a dangerous immune response in hardened fatty deposits (plaques) lining the heart’s largest blood vessels, a new study shows. The findings are based on the body’s immune system, which evolved to destroy invading microbes but also drives disease when triggered in the wrong context. […]

Africa on the Global Stage: Analyzing 30 Years of African-Led Clinical Trials in Cardiovascular Medicine

In order to understand the limitations faced by African investigators in modern cardiology research, a group of researchers, led by Internal Medicine Resident Abdelrahman Abushouk, MD, analyzed 30 years of African-led clinical trials in cardiovascular medicine. Previous research had demonstrated that although Africa contains almost one-fifth of the world population, only 2% of clinical trials […]

COVID Heart Injuries Traced Back to Infected Arterial Plaque, Inflammation

Scientists found that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can directly infiltrate atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries and trigger an inflammatory response, providing one mechanism for how COVID-19 infection can lead to cardiovascular complications in some people. Directly infected atherosclerotic tissue was found in both people who died with severe COVID-19 and underlying atherosclerosis and an ex vivo […]
