Nifedipine Dose-Related Increase in Mortality in Patients With Coronary Heart Disease

TL;DR: In patients with coronary disease, the use of short-acting nifedipine in moderate to high doses causes an increase in total mortality, and other calcium antagonists may have similar adverse effects, in particular those of the dihydropyridine type.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interleukin-6 receptor pathways in coronary heart disease: a collaborative meta-analysis of 82 studies

Nadeem Sarwar, +96 more
TL;DR: In this article, a functional genetic variant known to affect IL6R signalling was studied to assess whether this pathway is causally relevant to coronary heart disease, and Asp358Ala was not associated with lipid concentrations, blood pressure, adiposity, dysglycaemia, or smoking.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel genetic loci associated with hippocampal volume

Derrek P. Hibar, +432 more
TL;DR: It is shown that genetic variants associated with decreased hippocampal volume are also associated with increased risk for Alzheimer's disease (rg=−0.155), and these findings suggest novel biological pathways through which human genetic variation influences hippocampus volume and risk for neuropsychiatric illness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adult height and the risk of cause-specific death and vascular morbidity in 1 million people: individual participant meta-analysis

David Wormser, +271 more
TL;DR: Adult height has directionally opposing relationships with risk of death from several different major causes of chronic diseases.
