TL;DR: The BP-lowering effects reported here may be used to impute the pretreatment BP levels, which can improve the information content and hence the power of epidemiologic analysis in studies where use of antihypertensive medications is a confounding factor in the BP measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI

Christopher J. Nardo,Lloyd E. Chambless,Kathleen C. Light,Wayne D. Rosamond,A. Richey Sharrett,Grethe S. Tell,Gerardo Heiss +6 more
TL;DR: Cardiovascular morbidity, sociodemographic factors, and cigarette smoking were associated with the magnitude and direction of the postural change in DeltaSBP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glutathione S-transferase genotype as a susceptibility factor in smoking-related coronary heart disease
Rongling Li,Eric Boerwinkle,Andrew F. Olshan,Lloyd E. Chambless,James S. Pankow,Herman A. Tyroler,Molly S. Bray,Gary S. Pittman,Douglas A. Bell,Gerardo Heiss +9 more
TL;DR: The modification of the smoking-CHD association by GSTM1 or GSTT1 suggests that chemicals in cigarette smoke that are substrates for glutathione S-transferases may be involved in the etiology of CHD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular disease risk factors and mortality among black women and white women aged 40–64 years in evans county, georgia
TL;DR: The authors report the 20-year mortality experience of 391 black and 549 white women aged 40-64 years recruited in 1960-1961 into the Evans County Cardiovascular Study, finding that cardiovascular disease mortality was significantly associated with systolic pressure in all women, serum cholesterol in white women, and Quetelet index in low social status white women.

TL;DR: A genome-wide association study of executive functioning and information processing speed in non-demented older adults from the CHARGE consortium suggests that genetic variation in the CADM2 gene is associated with individual differences in informationprocessing speed.
