Brief description The coronary vessels supply blood to heart muscle. Blockage of coronary vessels causes heart attacks which are the leading cause of death in the Western world. A recent focus for heart attack researchers is to re-establish the blood supply to the injured area by creating new blood vessels. We have found a new gene involved in creating coronary blood vessels. We will characterize how this gene is involved in this process. Knowledge about this gene may foster new treatments for heart attack.
