Journal ArticleDOI
Association of criteria pollutants with plasma hemostatic/inflammatory markers: a population-based study
Duanping Liao,Gerardo Heiss,Vernon M. Chinchilli,Yinkang Duan,Aaron R. Folsom,Hung Mo Lin,Veikko Salomaa +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the hemostasis/inmflammation markers analyzed are associated adversely with environmentally relevant ambient pollutants, with the strongest associations in the upper range of the pollutant distributions, and in persons with a positive history of diabetes and CHD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tracy +34 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that Asp42Gly is a major regulator of erythrocyte Darc-mediated cytokine binding and thereby the circulating concentrations of several proinflammatory cytokines and also 2 mechanisms for the release of reservoir chemokines with possible clinical implications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Temporal Trends in the Population Attributable Risk for Cardiovascular Disease: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
Susan Cheng,Brian Claggett,Andrew W. Correia,Amil M. Shah,Deepak K. Gupta,Hicham Skali,Hanyu Ni,Wayne D. Rosamond,Gerardo Heiss,Aaron R. Folsom,Josef Coresh,Scott D. Solomon +11 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied 13 541 participants (56% women, 26% black) in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study, aged 52 to 66 years and free of CVD at exams in 1987 through 1989, 1990 through 1992, 1993 through 1995, or 1996 through 1998.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cigarette Smoking, Smoking Cessation, and Long-Term Risk of 3 Major Atherosclerotic Diseases
Ning Ding,Yingying Sang,Jingsha Chen,Shoshana H. Ballew,Corey A. Kalbaugh,Maya Salameh,Michael J. Blaha,Matthew A. Allison,Gerardo Heiss,Elizabeth Selvin,Josef Coresh,Kunihiro Matsushita,Kunihiro Matsushita +12 more
TL;DR: The results highlight the importance of smoking prevention and early smoking cessation, and indicate the need for public statements to take PAD into account when acknowledging the impact of smoking on overall cardiovascular health.
Journal Article
Strenuous physical activity, treadmill exercise test performance and plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The Lipid Research Clinics Program Prevalence Study.
TL;DR: The association between HDL cholesterol and reported physical activity was, at least in part, independent of other factors that influence HDL cholesterol concentration, but was not associated with exercise tolerance as determined by treadmill exercise testing.
