Journal ArticleDOI
Dietary linolenic acid and adjusted QT and JT intervals in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Family Heart study
Luc Djoussé,Pentti M. Rautaharju,Paul N. Hopkins,Eric A. Whitsel,Donna K. Arnett,John H. Eckfeldt,Michael A. Province,R. Curtis Ellison +7 more
TL;DR: Higher intake of dietary linolenic acid might be associated with a reduced risk of abnormally prolonged repolarization in men and women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lewis blood group phenotype as an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (the NHLBI Family Heart Study).
R. Curtis Ellison,Yuqing Zhang,Richard H. Myers,Jane Swanson,Millicent Higgins,John H. Eckfeldt +5 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that the Le(a-b-) phenotype is associated with an increased risk for CHD; its effect does not appear to act predominantly through conventional cardiovascular risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interlaboratory variation of plasma total homocysteine measurements: results of three successive homocysteine proficiency testing surveys.
TL;DR: Various degrees of imprecision and lack of correlation among tHcy methods indicate that there is a need to improve analytical precision, decrease analytical difference, and standardize tHCy measurements among laboratories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fibrinogen, Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1, and Carotid Intima-Media Wall Thickness in the NHLBI Family Heart Study
Aaron R. Folsom,James S. Pankow,Roger R. Williams,Gregory W. Evans,Michael A. Province,John H. Eckfeldt +5 more
TL;DR: The data suggest 1) elevated fibrinogen and PAI-1 do not explain clustering of CHD in families and 2) fibr inogen andPAi-1 may partly mediate the effects of other risk factors on carotid atherosclerosis, though the data are also consistent with them playing no causal role.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance of glomerular filtration rate estimating equations in a community-based sample of Blacks and Whites: the multiethnic study of atherosclerosis
Lesley A. Inker,Andrew S. Levey,Hocine Tighiouart,Hocine Tighiouart,Tariq Shafi,John H. Eckfeldt,W. Craig Johnson,Aghogho Okparavero,Wendy S. Post,Josef Coresh,Michael G. Shlipak +10 more
TL;DR: The small differential bias of the CKD-EPI equation between races suggests that they can be used in Blacks as well as Whites in older community-based adults, taking into account differences in GFR measurement methods.
