Journal ArticleDOI

Gene-age interactions in blood pressure regulation: a large-scale investigation with the CHARGE, Global BPgen, and ICBP Consortia.

Jeannette Simino, +125 more
TL;DR: Age can be used to select samples with larger genetic effect sizes and more homogenous phenotypes, which may increase statistical power, and provide insight into the biology and temporal regulation underlying BP associations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elevated plasma levels of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) in diabetic patients with microalbuminuria: a marker of vascular dysfunction and progressive vascular disease

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that sVCAM‐1 in diabetic plasma might reflect early vascular perturbation in diabetic vasculopathy, and may be an indicator of ongoing cellular dysfunction in diabetes, as well as a dynamic surrogate marker for the effectiveness of therapeutic interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Another Modifiable Risk Factor for Cardiovascular Disease? Some Evidence Points to Arterial Stiffness

TL;DR: Age-related changes in the large arteries and how these changes interact with the pathologies of vascular disease are focused on, with increasing evidence points to arterial stiffness-even the amount of stiffness considered normal in western societies-as a critical precursor of disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spontaneous calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in myocardial cells: mechanisms and consequences

TL;DR: Spontaneous Ca2+ release imposes a beat-rate-dependent limit on the inotropic effect of interventions which increase intracellular Ca2+.
