Journal ArticleDOI
Lower pulmonary function and cerebral subclinical abnormalities detected by MRI: the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study.
Duanping Liao,Millicent Higgins,Nick Bryan,Marsha L. Eigenbrodt,Lloyd E. Chambless,Verna Lamar,Gregory L. Burke,Gerardo Heiss +7 more
TL;DR: The results from this population-based study suggest that lower pulmonary function is associated with subclinical cerebral abnormalities, and patterns of association were found among current smokers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acoustic shadowing on B-mode ultrasound of the carotid artery predicts CHD
Kelly J. Hunt,A. Richey Sharrett,Lloyd E. Chambless,Aaron R. Folsom,Gregory W. Evans,Gerardo Heiss +5 more
TL;DR: CALs predicted CHD events; this association was stronger for mineralized CALs in women, but not men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation of Ventricular Premature Complexes to Heart Failure (from the Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities [ARIC] Study)
Sunil K. Agarwal,Sunil K. Agarwal,Ross J. Simpson,Pentti M. Rautaharju,Alvaro Alonso,Eyal Shahar,Mark W. Massing,Samir Saba,Gerardo Heiss +8 more
TL;DR: In this large population-based cohort, the presence of VPCs was associated with incident HF, independent of incident coronary heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Traffic Exposure and Lung Function in Adults: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
TL;DR: Higher traffic density was significantly associated with lower forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) in women and this is the largest published study of traffic exposure and pulmonary function in adults to date.
Journal ArticleDOI
Premature ventricular complexes and the risk of incident stroke: the Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities (ARIC) study.
Sunil K. Agarwal,Gerardo Heiss,Pentti M. Rautaharju,Eyal Shahar,Mark W. Massing,Ross J. Simpson +5 more
TL;DR: Frequent PVCs are associated with risk of incident stroke in participants free of hypertension and diabetes, which suggests that PVCs may contribute to atrioventricular remodeling or may be a risk marker for incident stroke, particularly embolic stroke.
