LAS CRUCES - Every year, an estimated 805,000 Americans have a heart attack – that’s one every 40 seconds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
But not all heart attacks are the same, and the development of better treatment approaches requires understanding the distinction between heart attacks that result from blood clots after a plaque rupture and those that do not.
Research now underway at New Mexico State University seeks to advance the understanding of what causes heart attacks and differentiate between heart attack types at a molecular level.

Nelan served as the lead coordinator and non-commissioned officer in charge of the event. We have 33 personnel from the SRU who volunteered to be part of the march and we have participants from outside the SRU.
BAMC s virtual commemorative march was part of the national march. The Army Reserve Officer Training Corps department at New Mexico State University began the event in 1989 in White Sands, New Mexico according to the Bataan Memorial Death March site.
