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
Thomas M. Tadros,Joseph M. Massaro,Guido A. Rosito,Udo Hoffmann,Ramachandran S. Vasan,Martin G. Larson,John F. Keaney,Izabella Lipinska,James B. Meigs,Sekar Kathiresan,Christopher J. O'Donnell,Caroline S. Fox,Emelia J. Benjamin +12 more
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
P-wave indices and atrial fibrillation: cross-cohort assessments from the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) and Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study.
Jared W. Magnani,Lei Zhu,Faye L. Lopez,Michael J. Pencina,Sunil K. Agarwal,Elsayed Z. Soliman,Emelia J. Benjamin,Alvaro Alonso +7 more
TL;DR: P-wave indices are associated with AF in cross-cohort meta-analyses but contribute minimally toward enhancing risk prediction, and are intermediate phenotypes for AF.
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)
Maurizio Galderisi,Emelia J. Benjamin,Jane C. Evans,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Deborah L. Fuller,Brigitta Lehman,Daniel Levy +6 more
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.
