Journal ArticleDOI
Retinal microvascular findings and risk of incident peripheral artery disease: An analysis from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study.
Chao Yang,Lucia Kwak,Shoshana H. Ballew,Bernard G. Jaar,Jennifer A. Deal,Aaron R. Folsom,Gerardo Heiss,A. Richey Sharrett,Elizabeth Selvin,Charumathi Sabanayagam,Josef Coresh,Kunihiro Matsushita,Kunihiro Matsushita +12 more
TL;DR: The results support the contribution of microvascular abnormalities to the development and progression of PAD and would have implications on its preventive and therapeutic approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-wide scans for heritability of fasting serum insulin and glucose concentrations in hypertensive families
B. I. Freedman,Stephen S. Rich,Michèle M. Sale,Gerardo Heiss,Luc Djoussé,James S. Pankow,M. A. Province,D. C. Rao,Cora E. Lewis,Y. D.I. Chen,Stephanie R Beck +10 more
TL;DR: These analyses demonstrate the marked heritability of fasting serum glucose and glucose concentrations in families enriched for the presence of members with hypertension, and suggest that genes associated with fasting serum insulin concentration are present on chromosomes 19 and 5, in families enrichment for hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for a gene influencing fasting LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels on chromosome 21q
Kari E. North,Michael B. Miller,Hilary Coon,Lisa J. Martin,James M. Peacock,Donna K. Arnett,Binbin Zhang,Michael A. Province,Albert Oberman,John Blangero,Laura Almasy,R. Curtis Ellison,Gerardo Heiss +12 more
TL;DR: Bivariate linkage analysis of LDL cholesterol and TG concentration among participants of the Hypertension Genetic Epidemiolgy Network (HyperGEN), one of four networks in the NHLBI sponsored Family Blood Pressure Program Project, suggests one or more genes on chromosome 21q jointly regulating LDL cholesteroland TG concentration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Telomere length attrition and chronic periodontitis: an ARIC Study nested case–control study
TL;DR: Leukocyte telomere length shortening occurred at the same rate among adults with and without severe chronic periodontitis, suggesting that LTL shortening may have occurred earlier in the life course.
Journal ArticleDOI
Insulin resistance and reduced cardiac autonomic function in older adults: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study
Anna K. Poon,Eric A. Whitsel,Gerardo Heiss,Elsayed Z. Soliman,Lynne E. Wagenknecht,Takeki Suzuki,Laura R. Loehr +6 more
TL;DR: In older adults without diabetes, insulin resistance was associated with reduced cardiac autonomic function – specifically and consistently for indicators of vagal activity – measured during daily activities.
