Last week, more than 200 faculty, staff, and trainees from across the nation attended the Gill Heart & Vascular Institute's Cardiovascular Research Day to share the latest research on cardiovascular health. 

The event, in its 21st year, showcased the research of postdoctoral fellows, students, and faculty, much of it focused on the prevention or reversal of cardiovascular diseases, including heart attacks and strokes.

Despite major advances in hypertension therapy, even optimally treated hypertensive patients have high mortality compared to normotensive subjects. One manifestation of hypertension is aortic remodeling that predisposes to several cardiovascular diseases. There are still many unknowns on the mechanisms of the cellular and structural changes of hypertension-induced aortic remodeling.

Tannock* Objective— SAA (serum amyloid A) is a family of acute-phase reactants that have proinflammatory and proatherogenic activities. SAA is more lipophilic than apoA-I (apolipoprotein A-I), and during an acute-phase response, 10% of plasma SAA is found lipid-free.
