Journal ArticleDOI

Heart rate recovery after treadmill exercise testing and risk of cardiovascular disease events (The Framingham Heart Study).

TL;DR: A very rapid HR recovery immediately after exercise was associated with lower risk of CHD and CVD events, and these findings should be confirmed in other settings.
Journal ArticleDOI

Whole-Exome Sequencing Identifies Rare and Low-Frequency Coding Variants Associated with LDL Cholesterol

Leslie A. Lange, +101 more
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

Visceral fat is associated with lower brain volume in healthy middle-aged adults.

TL;DR: The aim was to examine the cross‐sectional association of body mass index, waist circumference, waist‐to‐hip ratio, and computed tomography‐based measurements of subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue with various magnetic resonance imaging markers of brain aging in middle‐aged community adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age and sex distribution of subclinical aortic atherosclerosis: a magnetic resonance imaging examination of the Framingham Heart Study.

TL;DR: Plaque prevalence and all measures of plaque burden increased with age group and were greater in the abdomen than in the thorax for both sexes and across all age groups and the Framingham Coronary Risk Score was significantly correlated with all plaque prevalence and burden measures.
