Ankle-brachial index and incident diabetes mellitus: the atherosclerosis risk in communities (ARIC) study
Simin Hua,Laura R. Loehr,Hirofumi Tanaka,Gerardo Heiss,Josef Coresh,Elizabeth Selvin,Kunihiro Matsushita +6 more
TL;DR: Low ABI was modestly but independently associated with increased risk of incident diabetes in the general population and stronger association was seen in participants without hypertension, those with normal fasting glucose, and those with a history of stroke compared to their counterparts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Life's Simple 7 and Peripheral Artery Disease Risk: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
TL;DR: Better cardiovascular health, as defined by higher Life's Simple 7 score, is associated with a substantially lower risk of peripheral artery disease.
Journal Article
Abstract 13291: Twenty-Two Year Trends in Incidence of Myocardial Infarction, CHD Mortality, and Case-Fatality in Four US Communities, 1987 to 2008
Wayne D. Rosamond,Lloyd E. Chambless,Gerardo Heiss,Thomas H. Mosley,Josef Coresh,Eric A. Whitsel,Lynne E. Wagenknecht,Hanyu Ni,Aaron R. Folsom +8 more
TL;DR: A large number of patients with a history of heart attack or myocardial infarction are likely to have had at least a single episode of coronary heart disease in their lives.
Journal ArticleDOI

Adrienne Cupples +23 more
TL;DR: Targeted sequencing around TMEM18 identified 2 novel BMI variants with possible regulatory function that are located in transcription factor binding regions and conditional on previous genome-wide association study single-nucleotide polymorphisms associated with BMI in the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thirty‐year risk of ischemic stroke in individuals with sickle cell trait and modification by chronic kidney disease: The atherosclerosis risk in communities (ARIC) study
Melissa C. Caughey,Vimal K. Derebail,Nigel S. Key,Alexander P. Reiner,Rebecca F. Gottesman,Abhijit V. Kshirsagar,Gerardo Heiss +6 more
TL;DR: The long‐term risk of ischemic stroke associated with SCT relative to noncarrier genotype appears to be modified by concomitant CKD.
