Scientists probe blood cell protein for clues to heart disease

NCT ID NCT07364058

Summary

This study aims to understand how a specific protein found in blood platelets might be involved in the inflammation that causes artery plaque buildup. Researchers will analyze plaque tissue removed from 200 patients during standard artery-clearing surgery. The goal is to gather basic knowledge about this protein's role, which could inform future research into heart disease and stroke.
