Caption

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden measured almost 3,000 proteins in blood samples from around 35,000 UK Biobank participants without previous heart disease, to see if differences in blood proteins could give any clues as to why a risk of heart disease still prevails in some people after bad cholesterol levels are brought down to a healthy level.
