12-20-2006 · EurekAlert!
Results of a Framingham Heart Study investigation of multiple biomarkers for the prediction of first major cardiovascular events and death are published in the December 21 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine. Persons with high multimarker scores had a risk of death four times as great and a risk of major cardiovascular events almost two times as great as persons with low multimarker scores.

New research from Northwestern University has found that these tiny pieces of soot spur hyperclotting of the blood, resulting in heart attacks and strokes for people at risk. Previous epidemiological research has linked the pollution to cardiovascular death and disease, but this is the first study to show how it actually happens in an animal model.
