Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic variants in novel pathways influence blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk

Georg Ehret, +391 more
- 06 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: A genetic risk score based on 29 genome-wide significant variants was associated with hypertension, left ventricular wall thickness, stroke and coronary artery disease, but not kidney disease or kidney function, and these findings suggest potential novel therapeutic pathways for cardiovascular disease prevention.
Journal ArticleDOI

C-Reactive Protein, Fibrinogen, and Cardiovascular Disease Prediction

Stephen Kaptoge, +82 more
TL;DR: It is estimated that under current treatment guidelines, assessment of the CRP or fibrinogen level in people at intermediate risk for a cardiovascular event could help prevent one additional event over a period of 10 years for every 400 to 500 people screened.
Journal ArticleDOI

The interleukin-6 receptor as a target for prevention of coronary heart disease: a mendelian randomisation analysis.

Daniel I. Swerdlow, +115 more
- 31 Mar 2012 - 
TL;DR: IL6R blockade could provide a novel therapeutic approach to prevention of coronary heart disease that warrants testing in suitably powered randomised trials and could help to validate and prioritise novel drug targets or to repurpose existing agents and targets for new therapeutic uses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk thresholds for alcohol consumption: combined analysis of individual-participant data for 599 912 current drinkers in 83 prospective studies

Angela M. Wood, +132 more
- 14 Apr 2018 - 
TL;DR: Current drinkers of alcohol in high-income countries, the threshold for lowest risk of all-cause mortality was about 100 g/week, and data support limits for alcohol consumption that are lower than those recommended in most current guidelines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between alcohol and cardiovascular disease:Mendelian randomisation analysis based on individual participant data

Michael V. Holmes, +170 more
- 10 Jul 2014 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the causal role of alcohol consumption in cardiovascular disease was investigated using a Mendelian randomisation meta-analysis of 56 epidemiological studies, including 20 259 coronary heart disease cases and 10 164 stroke events.
