Journal ArticleDOI
Aortic Stiffness, Blood Pressure Progression, and Incident Hypertension
Bernhard M. Kaess,Jian Rong,Martin G. Larson,Naomi M. Hamburg,Joseph A. Vita,Daniel Levy,Emelia J. Benjamin,Ramachandran S. Vasan,Gary F. Mitchell +8 more
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
Bernhard M. Kaess,Alison Pedley,Joseph M. Massaro,Joanne M. Murabito,Udo Hoffmann,Caroline S. Fox +5 more
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.

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
Circulating Brain‐Derived Neurotrophic Factor Concentrations and the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in the Community

TL;DR: Higher serum BDNF is associated with a decreased risk of CVD and mortality, and Mendelian randomization suggests a causal protective role of BDNF in the pathogenesis ofCVD.
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.
