But not all heart attacks are the same, and the development of better treatment approaches requires understanding the distinction between heart attacks that result from blood clots after a plaque rupture and those that do not.
Research now underway at New Mexico State University seeks to advance the understanding of what causes heart attacks and differentiate between heart attack types at a molecular level.
Patrick Trainor, assistant professor of applied statistics at NMSU, leads a team of physicians and scientists from three universities who are working on an in-depth study of blood samples from heart attack patients. The project is part of a long-term collaboration with Dr. Andrew DeFilippis, a cardiologist and clinician-scientist at Vanderbilt University.

Nature Aging, looks at short-term air pollution, cognitive performance and use of
nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
Prof Kevin McConway, Emeritus Professor of Applied Statistics, The Open University, said:
“This new piece of research raises some interesting questions, but some aspects of the way it was conducted mean that there’s a lot it can’t answer. Many studies of possible harmful effects of air pollution have looked at long-term measures of air pollutants at the places where people live, and investigated how they might be related to aspects of health. But there have also been concerns about shorter-term effects of peaks in air pollution. There have been previous studies that found associations between high long-term pollutant levels, particularly of very fine particles in the air, and problems with cognitive function – that is, how well thinking and memory are working. But there seems not to have been much study of associations betw

LAS CRUCES - Every year, an estimated 805,000 Americans have a heart attack – that’s one every 40 seconds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But not all heart attacks are the same, and the development of better treatment approaches requires understanding the distinction between heart attacks that result from blood clots after a plaque rupture and those that do not.

Researchers say the detrimental impact of a toxic atmosphere is similar to that of lead exposure.
Pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and small carbon particles, called PM2.5, are spewed out by engines, industry, wood-burning stoves and farming.
These chemicals are increasingly being linked to health concerns such as asthma, an inhibited immune system and decreased lung damage, with around 36,000 deaths in England every year linked to air pollution.
