Genomics of lipid metabolism: Identification of genetic determinants of lipid metabolites and the effect of perturbations of lipid levels on coronary heart disease risk factors
Background: Coronary heart disease (CHD) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide, and global mortality rates are expected to continue to rise over the coming decades. In Pakistan in particular, chronic diseases are responsible for 50% of the total disease burden. Circulating lipids are …

Examining the Relationship of Physical Activity with Inflammation and Cardiovascular Disease Risk
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for 37.1 percent of all deaths in the United States. Physical activity is inversely related to both CV event risk and to many of the individual CVD risk factors. The inverse relationship between physical activity and CVD risk is well established. However, much …
