TL;DR: The concept of distinct atrial and ventricular myopathic processes as raised by Providencia and Lambiase is intriguing, and advanced imaging techniques may be useful in interrogating these processes in future work.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An overview of CER methods is provided, with an emphasis on practical clinical trials and observational treatment comparisons, and specific studies to address 8 clinical issues identified by the Institute of Medicine as high priorities for cardiovascular CER.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Residential proximity to a major roadway and higher levels of spatially resolved estimates of PM2.5 at participant residences are associated with impaired conduit artery and microvascular function in this large community-based cohort of middle-aged and elderly adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insulin Resistance and Atrial Fibrillation (from the Framingham Heart Study)
João D. Fontes,Asya Lyass,Joseph M. Massaro,Michiel Rienstra,Michiel Rienstra,Michiel Rienstra,Dhayana Dallmeier,Renate B. Schnabel,Renate B. Schnabel,Thomas J. Wang,Thomas J. Wang,Ramachandran S.

TL;DR: In a community-based cohort with ≤10 years of follow-up, no significant association was observed between insulin resistance and incident AF, and multivariate modeling found that insulin resistance was not significantly associated with incident AF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long- and short-term air pollution exposure and measures of arterial stiffness in the Framingham Heart Study.
Petter Ljungman,Petter Ljungman,Wenyuan Li,Mary B. Rice,Elissa H. Wilker,Joel Schwartz,Diane R. Gold,Petros Koutrakis,Emelia J. Benjamin,Ramachandran S. Vasan,Gary F. Mitchell,Naomi M. Hamburg,Murray A. Mittleman +12 more
TL;DR: Positive associations with living close to a major road may suggest that pollutant mixtures very nearby major roads, rather than PM2.5, may affect arterial stiffness.
