Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic variation associated with mortality among adults of European and African ancestry with heart failure: the cohorts for heart and aging research in genomic epidemiology consortium.

TL;DR: This study identified a novel locus associated with all-cause mortality among individuals of European ancestry with HF that warrants additional investigation, including replication, in other studies of HF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Task Force #1—Magnitude of the Prevention Problem: Opportunities and Challenges

TL;DR: A large number of people in the U.S. are obese, and smoking is a major risk factor for CVD, but research is still lacking on how to prevent and treat this disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pericardial Fat Volume Correlates With Inflammatory Markers: The Framingham Heart Study

TL;DR: Multiple markers of inflammation and oxidative stress correlated with pericardial and intrathoracic fat volumes, extending the known association between regional adiposity and inflammation and antioxidant stress.
Journal ArticleDOI

Impact of heart rate and PR interval on Doppler indexes of left ventricular diastolic filling in an elderly cohort (the Framingham Heart Study)

TL;DR: Heart rate was a major determinant of all 5 Doppler indexes of diastolic filling; heart rate was inversely associated with peak velocity E, E, and time velocity integral E/A, and was directly associated withpeak velocity A and atrial filling fraction.
