Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of intensive blood-pressure control in type 2 diabetes mellitus.
C. Cushman,Gregory W. Evans,Robert P. Byington,Jeffrey A. Cutler,Denise G. Simons-Morton,Jan Basile,Jeffrey L. Probstfield,Lois A. Katz,Kevin A. Peterson,William T. Friedewald,John B. Buse,J. Thomas Bigger,Hertzel C. Gerstein +12 more
TL;DR: In patients with type 2 diabetes at high risk for cardiovascular events, targeting a systolic blood pressure of less than 120 mm HG, as compared with less than 140 mm Hg, did not reduce the rate of a composite outcome of fatal and nonfatal major cardiovascular events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intensive glucose control and macrovascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes
Fiona Turnbull,Carlos Abraira,Robert J. Anderson,Robert J. Anderson,Robert P. Byington,John Chalmers,William C. Duckworth,Gregory W. Evans,Hertzel C. Gerstein,Rury R. Holman,Thomas E. Moritz,Bruce Neal,Toshiharu Ninomiya,Anushka Patel,Sanjoy K. Paul,F. Travert,Mark Woodward,Mark Woodward +17 more
TL;DR: Targeting more-intensive glucose lowering modestly reduced major macrovascular events and increased major hypoglycaemia over 4.4 years in persons with type 2 diabetes, and suggests that glucose-lowering regimens should be tailored to the individual.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arterial Wall Thickness Is Associated With Prevalent Cardiovascular Disease in Middle-Aged Adults The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study
Gregory L. Burke,Gregory W. Evans,Ward A. Riley,A. Richey Sharrett,George Howard,Ralph W. Barnes,Wayne D. Rosamond,Richard S. Crow,Pentti M. Rautaharju,Gerardo Heiss +9 more
TL;DR: Data document the substantially greater arterial wall thickness observed in middle-aged adults with prevalent cardiovascular disease, related to clinically manifest cardiovascular disease affecting distant vascular beds, such as the cerebral, peripheral, and coronary artery vascular beds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Carotid artery intimal-medial thickness distribution in general populations as evaluated by B-mode ultrasound. ARIC Investigators.
George Howard,A R Sharrett,Gerardo Heiss,Gregory W. Evans,Lloyd E. Chambless,Ward A. Riley,Gregory L. Burke +6 more
TL;DR: The distribution of carotid atherosclerosis in the general population was described by race-sex strata, in which 759 to 4952 individuals were imaged depending on strata and location in thecarotid system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cigarette smoking and progression of atherosclerosis: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study.
George Howard,Lynne E. Wagenknecht,Gregory L. Burke,Ana V. Diez-Roux,Gregory W. Evans,Paul G. McGovern,F J Nieto,Grethe S. Tell +7 more
TL;DR: Both active smoking and ETS exposure are associated with the progression of an index of atherosclerosis, and the fact that pack-years of smoking but not current vs past smoking was associated with progression of Atherosclerosis suggests that some adverse effects of smoking may be cumulative and irreversible.
