Journal ArticleDOI
Low iron-binding capacity as a risk factor for myocardial infarction.
TL;DR: This study suggests that transferrin, measured as TIBC, is an independent negative risk factor for myocardial infarction and sex was in this group still a very strong risk factor after taking into account all classic risk factors as well as the parameters of iron metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: LPA sequence variants were associated with atherosclerotic burden, but not with primarily thrombotic phenotypes, and CAD cases carrying LPA risk variants had increased susceptibility to atherosclerosis manifestations outside of the coronary tree.
Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence and prevalence of recognised and unrecognised myocardial infarction in women. The Reykjavik Study.
TL;DR: Myocardial infarction in women is very age-dependent with both incidence and prevalence increasing continuously and steeply with age, and there was a significant trend for an increase in prevalence of recognised myocardial Infarction from 1968 to 1992.
Journal ArticleDOI
The epidemiology of right bundle branch block and its association with cardiovascular morbidity--the Reykjavik Study.
TL;DR: This study is based on the Reykjavik Study, a long-term prospective cardiovascular survey, which included a representative population of 9135 men and 9627 women, 33-79 years old, who were invited to participate during the years 1967-91.

TL;DR: A loss of function mutation in the myosin gene MYL4 that, in the homozygous state, is completely penetrant for early-onset AF is found and may provide novel mechanistic insight into the pathophysiology of this complex arrhythmia.
