National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute: Circulating Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Risk in the NHLBI's Framingham

Mon, Nov 20 2006 11:00:00 GMT

National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) seeks partners in a biomarker consortium to promote research on novel serum/ plasma/urine biomarkers of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and related risk factors including atherosclerosis, obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome. An immediate consequence of this project will be the development of new diagnostic tests to identify individuals at high risk for CVD and its risk factors at a time when intervention is most feasible. A downstream result of the
identification of novel biomarkers of CVD (and its risk factors) will be the discovery of disease promoting pathways, which may serve as new therapeutic targets for treating and preventing our nation's leading cause of death.

Background: Despite steady declines in CVD mortality, CVD remains the leading cause of death in the developed world. The NHLBI's Framingham Heart Study (FHS) has been instrumental in the
identification and elucidation of key modifiable risk factors f
