    An Introduction to Cardiovascular Disease

    Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the number one cause of death globally, taking an estimated 17.9 million lives each year. CVDs describe a number of conditions affecting the heart and circulation, including coronary heart disease, angina, congenital heart disease, hypertension and stroke. The huge and ever-increasing burden of CVDs on individuals and healthcare systems shows the urgent ongoing need for treatments and preventive measures.

    Charles Michael Gibson Watch Time: 5.08 minutes

    touchCARDIO spoke with Dr Mike Gibson, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA to discuss the results of his trial investigating the relationship between apolipoprotein A-I infusions and cardiovascular outcomes, presented at ESC 2024. He explains that while high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is generally associated with good outcomes, not all HDL is equally effective at removing cholesterol from plaque, a process known as cholesterol efflux, which is crucial for better outcomes after a heart attack.
