Journal ArticleDOI
Calcium density of coronary artery plaque and risk of incident cardiovascular events.
Michael H. Criqui,Julie O. Denenberg,Joachim H. Ix,Robyn L. McClelland,Christina L. Wassel,Dena E. Rifkin,J. Jeffrey Carr,Matthew J. Budoff,Matthew A. Allison +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the independent associations of CAC volume and CAC density with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) events were determined, with an independent association with incident CHD, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.81 (95% CI, 1.47-2.6) increase, absolute risk increase 6.9 per 1000 person-years.

Calcium Density of Coronary Artery Plaque and Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Events (vol 311, pg 271, 2014)
Michael H. Criqui,Julie O. Denenberg,H Joachim,Robyn L. McClelland,Christina L. Wassel,Dena E. Rifkin,J. Jeffrey Carr,Matthew J. Budoff,Matthew A. Allison +8 more
TL;DR: Criqui et al. as discussed by the authors found that CAC volume was positively associated with CHD and CVD risk, with an independent association with incident CHD, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.81 (95% CI, 1.42-1.98) per SD increase, absolute risk increase 7.9 per 1000 person years.

TL;DR: This large whole-exome-sequencing study for LDL-C identified a gene not known to be implicated in LDL- C and provides unique insight into the design and analysis of similar experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lipoprotein Particles and Incident Type 2 Diabetes in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Rachel H. Mackey,Samia Mora,Alain G. Bertoni,Christina L. Wassel,Mercedes R. Carnethon,Christopher T. Sibley,David C. Goff +6 more
TL;DR: High levels of LP-IR, large VLDL particles (VLDL-P), small LDL particles, triglycerides (TG), and TG–to–HDL cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio were significantly associated with incident diabetes adjusted for confounders and glucose or insulin, and these also were similar by race/ethnicity, sex, and treatment group.
