C-Reactive Protein and Reclassification of Cardiovascular Risk in the Framingham Heart Study

TL;DR: Circulating levels of CRP help to estimate risk for initial cardiovascular events and may be used most effectively in persons at intermediate risk for vascular events, offering moderate improvement in reclassification of risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic association study of QT interval highlights role for calcium signaling pathways in myocardial repolarization

Dan E. Arking, +260 more
- 01 Aug 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified 35 common variant loci associated with QT interval that collectively explain ∼8-10% of QT-interval variation and highlight the importance of calcium regulation in myocardial repolarization.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome-Wide Association Study for Coronary Artery Calcification With Follow-Up in Myocardial Infarction

Christopher J. O'Donnell, +71 more
- 20 Dec 2011 - 
TL;DR: SNPs in the 9p21 and PHACTR1 gene loci were strongly associated with CAC and MI, and there is suggestive associations with both Cac and MI of SNPs in additional loci.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chemokine receptor mutant CX3CR1-M280 has impaired adhesive function and correlates with protection from cardiovascular disease in humans.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that FKN-dependent cell-cell adhesion under conditions of physiologic shear is severely reduced in cells expressing CX3CR1-M280.
