Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring Effects on intima media Thickness: an Evaluation Of Rosuvastatin in subclinical atherosclerosis--the rationale and methodology of the METEOR study.
John R. Crouse,Diederick E. Grobbee,Daniel H. O'Leary,Michiel L. Bots,Gregory W. Evans,Mike K. Palmer,Ward A. Riley,Joel S. Raichlen +7 more
TL;DR: The METEOR study will evaluate whether long-term rosuvastatin treatment promotes regression, or slows progression, of subclinical atherosclerosis in asymptomatic subjects at low risk of cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decline of coronary heart disease mortality in The Netherlands from 1978 to 1985: contribution of medical care and changes over time in presence of major cardiovascular risk factors.
TL;DR: It seems likely that a sizeable proportion of the age-specific reduction in mortality in The Netherlands during the period 1978–85 could have resulted from primary and seondary prevention measures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adolescent blood pressure and blood pressure tracking into young adulthood are related to subclinical atherosclerosis: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Young Adults (ARYA) study.
Lydia E Vos,Anath Oren,Cuno S.P.M. Uiterwaal,Wim H.M Gorissen,Diederick E. Grobbee,Michiel L. Bots +5 more
TL;DR: The findings strengthen the notion that elevated BP at adolescence and a relative increase in BP from adolescence to adulthood unfavorably affect cardiovascular risk, as indicated by increased CIMT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of B-type natriuretic peptide assays for identifying heart failure in stable elderly patients with a clinical diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Frans H. Rutten,Maarten-Jan M. Cramer,Nicolaas P.A. Zuithoff,Jan-Willem J. Lammers,Wim M. Verweij,Diederick E. Grobbee,Arno W. Hoes +6 more
TL;DR: To compare the ability of different B‐type natriuretic peptide (BNP) assays to identify heart failure in stable elderly patients with a diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a comparison study is conducted on elderly patients diagnosed with COPD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gestational age and birth weight in relation to aortic stiffness in healthy young adults: two separate mechanisms?
Anath Oren,Lydia E Vos,Willem-Jan W Bos,Michel E. Safar,Cuno S.P.M. Uiterwaal,Wim H.M Gorissen,Diederick E. Grobbee,Michiel L. Bots +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that prematurity drives the relation of gestational age and PWV, whereas risk of impaired glucose tolerance drives the relationship of birth weight and PWW.
