Coronary artery disease of adult stem cell populations. Research is still going on – with first promising results particularly for FGF-1 and utilization of endothelial progenitor cells. Myeloperoxidase has been proposed as a biomarker. Dietary changes can decrease coronary artery disease. For example, data supports benefit from a plant-based diet and aggressive lipid lowering to improve heart disease. Coronary artery disease Coronary artery disease (CAD), also known as ischemic heart disease (IHD), is the most common of the cardiovascular diseases.
