Genome-wide association study of peripheral artery disease in the Million Veteran Program

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study using electronic health record data in the Million Veteran Program uncovers new genetic loci associated specifically with peripheral artery disease, as compared to stroke or coronary artery disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Differential Impact of Systolic and Diastolic Blood Pressure Level on JNC-VI Staging

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of disparate levels of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) levels on blood pressure staging and eligibility for therapy was evaluated, and it was shown that SBP alone correctly classified 99% of subjects; in those <60 years old, it alone classified 95%.

Genome-wide association analysis identifies multiple loci related to resting heart rate

Mark Eijgelsheim, +82 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 15 genome-wide association studies performed to identify common genetic variants associated with heart rate found six novel associations at six loci, suggesting that some loci falling short of genome- wide significance are likely truly associated with RR interval.
