NHLBI Obesity, Nutrition, and Physical Activity Seminar: Cardiovascular Health in the Peripartum Period: Drivers and Determinants
In this one-hour webinar, Dr. Sadiya S. Khan, MD, MSc, will present an overview of “ Cardiovascular Health in the Peripartum Period: Drivers and Determinants. ” She will discuss how cardiovascular health in the peripartum period is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes with short- and long-term implications for the birthing adult and offspring. Dr. Khan will also share how upstream drivers, including social, psychological, and lifestyle factors, offer opportunities for intervention to improve cardiovascular health. Finally, she will discuss why interventions should include individual-, health-system, community, an...

Resolve to Save Lives (RTSL): Cardiovascular Health Promotion in Low- and Middle Income Countries
Cardiovascular disease is the world ’ s leading cause of death. Resolve to Save Lives is a non-profit global public health organization that works with partners to reduce heart attack and stroke in the low- and middle-income countries that bear the majority of disease burden. Resolve is working to increase the proportion of people whose blood pressure is controlled in low- and middle-income countries from 10% to 50%, reduce global dietary intake of salt by 30%, and make food safer by 100% elimination of artificial trans fat. Started in 2017, Resolve and its partners have enrolled nearly 20 million people in hypertension ...

NIH ProtIG seminar, Ling Hao: Capturing Organelle Dynamics in Neurons by Mass Spectrometry-based Omics Methods
Lysosomes and mitochondria are membrane-bound organelles in the cell and their dysfunctions have been linked to numerous human diseases, such as neurodegeneration, cancer, and cardiovascular disorders. These organelles are highly dynamic and frequently interact with other cellular components in a transient fashion, which are difficult to capture with traditional immunoprecipitation methods. Here, I will present our recent efforts in developing mass spectrometry-based multi-omics, proximity labeling, organelle isolation, and dynamic SILAC proteomic methods to characterize organelle microenvironment and protein dynamics in h...

IIG Seminar - Chronic psychological stress and macrophage inflammation in atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease of the arteries that initiates through normal protective functions of the innate immune system, but goes awry through the failure to resolve macrophage inflammation in the arterial plaques. Dr. Fisher ’ s laboratory has pioneered multiple mouse models in which to study inflammation resolution in atherosclerosis. He has collaborated with a number of colleagues to apply these models to study mechanisms by which certain conditions, such as diabetes, kidney disease, and obesity, increase cardiovascular risk through their interference with plaque macrophage infla...

2023 Stephen E. Straus Lecture: Novel Insights Into Heart-Brain Interactions and Neurobiological Resilience
Ahmed Tawakol, M.D., Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, will deliver the 2023 Stephen E. Straus Distinguished Lecture in the Science of Complementary Therapies. In his talk, Dr. Tawakol will review how neural pathways related to stress and depression result in cardiovascular diseases. Many studies have shown that stress and depression are associated with heightened amygdalar activity relative to regulatory activity in the cortex. Multisystem research has shown that increased stress-neural network activity triggers sympathetic system activity and induces leukopoiesis, resulting in systemic inflammati...

Advancing Health Equity Through Culture-Centered Dietary Interventions to Address Chronic Diseases Virtual Workshop (Day 2)
Goals and Key Audience: Objectives: 1. Identify gaps and opportunities for research on the cultural adaptation of evidence-based dietary approaches (e.g., DASH and Mediterranean Diet) to address diet-related diseases in racial/ethnic populations; 2. Understand dietary acculturation and its influence on the development and effectiveness of dietary interventions among diverse immigrant populations; 3. Interrogate the influence of dietary acculturation on the gut microbiome, and understand gut microbiome response to traditional and evidence-based diets. Need and Justification: Adherence to evidence-based dietary approaches, s...

Advancing Cardiovascular Health Equity Through Culture-Centered Dietary Interventions: Research Gaps and Opportunities (Day 2)
Adherence to evidence-based dietary approaches, such as the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet and Mediterranean diet, is associated with a multitude of health benefits, including lowered blood pressure, improved lipid profiles, reduced cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence, and decreased risk of type 2 diabetes.1-5 Also, adherence to healthy dietary patterns is associated with decrease risk for several cancers and cancer mortality. 6, 7 Yet, the strength of these associations varies by race and ethnicity, though results have been inconsistent; and there are racial and ethnic differences in adherence to t...

In this one-hour webinar, Dr. Namratha Kandula, MD, MPH, will present an overview of “ The Relationship between Body Weight, Adiposity, and Cardiovascular Risk among South Asian Americans. ” Body weight is closely related to several known cardiovascular risk factors, but the relationship between body weight and cardiovascular risk varies by race and ethnicity. In this presentation, Dr. Kandula will focus on South Asian Americans, a population that has a high burden of cardiovascular risk, even at a lower body weight. She will describe the prevalence of metabolic abnormalities and subclinical cardiovascular disease in S...
