美国佛罗里达州圣彼得堡两位科学家描述了人体抗细菌及病毒侵袭的防御机能,如何在诱发心脏病方面起作用。研究人员的目的是要了解动脉壁怎样发生损伤。这类损伤发生在冠状动脉,导致脂类物进行性地积聚于损伤面周围,最终阻滞血流,引起心脏病发作。宾夕法尼亚大学医学院Douglas B Cines医师,向在这里出席美国心脏病协会讨论会 Two scientists in St. Petersburg, Florida, described how the body’s defense against bacteria and viruses attack, and how it plays a role in triggering heart disease. The purpose of the researchers is to understand how the artery wall is damaged. This type of injury occurs in the coronary arteries, causing the lipids to accumulate progressively around the lesion surface, eventually blocking the blood flow and causing a heart attack. Douglas B Cines, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, is here to attend the American Heart Association Symposium
