Abstract: The present invention relates to diagnosis and/or prognosis of cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular events. A prognostic risk score in relation to the cardiovascular events, more particular after intervention, can be determined by counting the number of deregulated genes (or derived proteins) in their isolated monocytes. Deregulation means low expression of COX1 and/or COX4I1, and/or TFAM, and/or RUNX2.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a new cluster of correlating molecules in a tissue or at least one cell of a tissue for instance a cell of a blood tissue, preferably such myeloid cells and of identifying the condition of the genes expression said correlating molecules or of the expression levels of said molecules in a method or system for identifying obesity and the risk at obesity-related metabolic diseases such as the obesity associated cardiovascular risk or obesity-related insulin resistance. This system of method provides information on how to modulate the correlating molecules to treat or prevent obesity and to prevent the obesity-related metabolic diseases.

Abstract: The present invention provides isolated or essentially pure diterpenoic tetrahydropyran, such as steviol-19-glucuronide, steviol, stevioside and rebaudioside processes for obtaining the same and methods for obtaining stable pharmaceutically acceptable salts of the same for use of such compounds or compositions in a treatment of cardiovascular disorders or vascular disease or for the manufacture of medicaments to treat a condition of a cardiovascular disorder or vascular disease.

Abstract: Immunoassays for malondialdehyde-modified low density lipoprotein (MDA-modified LDL) and oxidized low density lipoprotein (OxLDL), monoclonal antibodies (and the cell lines for them) for use in the assays, and a storage-stable standard (which may be used as a calibrator and/or control) are disclosed. MDA-modified LDL and OxLDL are implicated in atherosclerosis and its etiology.

Abstract: A method having clinically sufficient degree of diagnostic accuracy for detecting the presence of coronary artery disease in a human patient from the general population and for distinguishing between the stages of the disease in that patient is disclosed. The stages are, first, the non-acute stage, which is either asymptomatic coronary artery disease or stable angina, second, the acute stage known as unstable angina, and, third, the acute stage known as acute myocardial infarction. The diseased state (as opposed to the non-diseased state) is indicated by the clinically significant presence of a first marker in a sample from the patient. The presence of one of the two acute stages, unstable angina or acute myocardial infarction, is indicated by the clinically significant presence of a second marker in a sample from the patient. The presence of the more severe acute stage known as acute myocardial infarction is indicated by the clinically significant presence of a third marker in a sample from the patient.
