Doppler diastolic filling indexes in relation to disease states.
TL;DR: In this article, the mean Doppler-derived diastolic filling indexes in a variety of disease states in a large, population-based sample were compared, and multiple linear regression analyses were performed comparing mean values for individuals with hypertension, diabetes, coronary disease, cardiovascular disease, and pulmonary disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short-Term Exposure to Air Pollution and Digital Vascular Function
Petter Ljungman,Elissa H. Wilker,Mary B. Rice,Joel Schwartz,Diane R. Gold,Petros Koutrakis,Joseph A. Vita,Gary F. Mitchell,Ramachandran S. Vasan,Emelia J. Benjamin,Murray A. Mittleman,Naomi M. Hamburg +11 more
TL;DR: The findings in a community-based sample exposed to relatively low pollution levels suggest that short-term exposure to ambient particulate pollution is not associated with vasodilator response, but that particulate air pollution is associated with baseline pulse amplitude, suggesting potentially adverse alterations in baseline vascular tone or compliance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prognostic Significance of Echocardiographic Measures of Cardiac Remodeling
Beatrice von Jeinsen,Meghan I. Short,Martin G. Larson,Vanessa Xanthakis,David D. McManus,Emelia J. Benjamin,Gary F. Mitchell,Jayashri Aragam,Susan Cheng,Ramachandran S. Vasan +9 more
TL;DR: In this community-based sample, LA volumes and function were the best echocardiographic predictors of clinical outcomes and should be considered for inclusion in standard echOCardiographic assessments for the purpose of risk stratification.

TL;DR: LAFI was inversely associated with antihypertensive use and prevalent CVD and was related to established echocardiographic traits of LV remodeling, suggesting that LAFI represents a marker of pathological atrial remodeling.
