Journal ArticleDOI
Hypertension and arterial stiffness: The atherosclerosis risk in communities study
Donna K. Arnett,Lori L. Boland,Gregory W. Evans,Ward A. Riley,Ralph Barnes,Herman A. Tyroler,Gerardo Heiss +6 more
TL;DR: Cross-sectional data suggest that hypertension is associated with carotid arterial stiffness; however, these differences in the calculated stiffness appear to be the effect of distending pressure rather than structural changes in theCarotid artery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lower extremity arterial disease assessed by ankle-brachial index in a middle-aged population of African Americans and whites: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study.
Zhi Jie Zheng,Wayne D. Rosamond,Lloyd E. Chambless,F. Javier Nieto,Ralph W. Barnes,Richard G. Hutchinson,Herman A. Tyroler,Gerardo Heiss +7 more
TL;DR: The prevalence of lower extremity arterial disease appears to be higher in African Americans than whites, and Elevations in traditional cardiovascular risk factors are associated with a higher prevalence of LEAD across race/ethnic and gender groups.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fibrinogen and factor VIII, but not factor VII, are associated with measures of subclinical cardiovascular disease in the elderly. Results from The Cardiovascular Health Study.
Russell P. Tracy,Edwin G. Bovill,David Yanez,Bruce M. Psaty,Linda P. Fried,Gerardo Heiss,Marshal Lee,Joseph F. Polak,Peter J. Savage +8 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that fibrinogen and to a lesser extent factor VIII are associated with subclinical CVD in the elderly, even in those without symptoms or a history of clinical CVD.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase Gene Harbors Sequence Variation Associated with Susceptibility to and Protection from Incident Ischemic Stroke
Myriam Fornage,Craig R. Lee,Craig R. Lee,Peter A. Doris,Molly S. Bray,Gerardo Heiss,Darryl C. Zeldin,Eric Boerwinkle +7 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that multiple variants exist within or near the EPHX2 gene, with greatly contrasting relationships to ischemic stroke incidence; some associated with a higher incidence and others with a lower incidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
cyp2j2 and cyp2c8 polymorphisms and coronary heart disease risk: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (aric) study
TL;DR: The G-50T polymorphism in CYP2J2 may be an important risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease events in African-Americans, whereas cigarette smoking may modify the relationship between the I264M and K399R polymorphisms in CYp2C8 and coronaryHeart disease risk in Caucasians.
