New Study Reveals Macrophage Types Predict Future Heart RiskACS researchers dr. Koen Prange and prof. dr. Menno de Winther and their colleagues from the department of Medical Biochemistry have uncovered how specific immune cells in arterial plaques can help predict the risk of heart attack and stroke after surgery. The findings could lead to better identification of high-risk patients and improved treatment strategies.
