Journal ArticleDOI

Aortic Stiffness, Blood Pressure Progression, and Incident Hypertension

TL;DR: In this cohort, higher aortic stiffness, FWA, and augmentation index were associated with higher risk of incident hypertension; however, initial blood pressure was not independently associated with risk of progressive aorti stiffening.
Journal ArticleDOI

The ratio of visceral to subcutaneous fat, a metric of body fat distribution, is a unique correlate of cardiometabolic risk

TL;DR: VAT/SAT ratio is a correlate of cardiometabolic risk, above and beyond BMI and VAT, and the propensity to store fat viscerally versus subcutaneously may be a unique risk factor independent of absolute fat volumes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Large-Scale Gene-Centric Meta-analysis across 32 Studies Identifies Multiple Lipid Loci

Folkert W. Asselbergs, +184 more
TL;DR: This large meta-analysis of lipid phenotypes with the use of a dense gene-centric approach identified multiple SNPs not previously described in established lipid genes and several previously unknown loci, suggesting that a focused genotyping approach can further increase the understanding of heritability of plasma lipids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of common polymorphisms in GLUT9 gene with gout but not with coronary artery disease in a large case-control study.

TL;DR: Results provide compelling evidence that common genetic variations within the GLUT9 gene strongly influence the risk for gout but are unlikely to have a major effect on CAD or MI in a German population.
