Brief description For many sufferers of heart disease who suffer from blocked coronary arteries, current treatments (e.g. bypass surgery or angioplasty) are unable to offer relief from the debilitating effects of occluded arteries. This is particularly true of patients with diabetes who have more aggressive blockages. We plan to study a newly identified mechanism to facilitate growth of new blood vessels to sites affected by vascular disease . Ultimately, this may result in new treatments for heart disease.
