Yang and colleagues report on their single-center experience with high-field coronary MRA using a new MR contrast agent. Data on 30 patients were compared with conventional X-ray angiography. Their new coronary MRA approach seems favourable when compared with previous MRA methods.

- Link between coronary artery disease and prostate cancer
In a large analysis of men participating in a prostate drug trial, researchers at the Duke Cancer Institute found a significant correlation between coronary artery disease and prostate cancer, suggesting the two conditions may have shared causes. - The Y Chromosome May Explain Why Men Have Earlier Coronary Disease
The earlier onset of coronary artery disease in men has long provoked speculation and research. Now a new study in the Lancet suggests that common variations in the Y chromosome (which is transmitted directly from father to son and does not undergo recombination) may play an important role in the increased risk seen in men. - Inheritance of coronary artery disease in men: an analysis of the role of the Y chromosome : The Lancet
A sexual dimorphism exists in the incidence and prevalence of coronary artery disease—men are more commonly affected than are age-matched women. We explored the role of the Y chromosome in coronary artery disease in the context of this sexual inequity. - Women are less likely to be diagnosed with coronary artery disease

Men tend to get coronary artery disease much earlier than do women. For some men, the reason for that might be in part because of their fathers—and their father’s father—according to a new study, published online Wednesday in The Lancet. The study analyzed data from 3,233 unrelated white men enrolled in previous U.K. studies. From [...] - Heart Disease Risk Gene May Pass From Dads to Sons
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 8 (HealthDay News) -- An increased risk for coronary artery disease can be passed genetically from father to son on the male Y chromosome, a new study says. - Coronary artery disease can be passed genetically
There is new evidence that coronary artery disease can be passed genetically from fathers to their sons. - Treatments help fight coronary artery disease
While the term “heart disease” encompasses a broad range of conditions, it is usually associated with coronary artery disease.
