Large-scale association analysis identifies 13 new susceptibility loci for coronary artery disease

Heribert Schunkert, +166 more
- 01 Apr 2011 - 
TL;DR: This paper performed a meta-analysis of 14 genome-wide association studies of coronary artery disease (CAD) comprising 22,233 individuals with CAD (cases) and 64,762 controls of European descent followed by genotyping of top association signals in 56,682 additional individuals.
Journal ArticleDOI

Which White Blood Cell Subtypes Predict Increased Cardiovascular Risk

TL;DR: Total WBC count is confirmed to be an independent predictor of death/MI in patients with or at high risk for CAD, but greater predictive ability is provided by high N (Q4 >6.6 x 10(3)/microl) or low L counts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Randomized Trial of Genotype-Guided Versus Standard Warfarin Dosing in Patients Initiating Oral Anticoagulation

TL;DR: An algorithm guided by pharmacogenetic and clinical factors improved the accuracy and efficiency of warfarin dose initiation and showed promise for wild-type and multiple variant genotypes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relation of Vitamin D Deficiency to Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Disease Status, and Incident Events in a General Healthcare Population

TL;DR: A high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in the general healthcare population and an association between vitamin D levels and prevalent and incident CV risk factors and outcomes are confirmed, lending strong support to the hypothesis that vitamin D might play a primary role in CV risk Factors and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ischemic Heart Disease Events Triggered by Short-Term Exposure to Fine Particulate Air Pollution

TL;DR: Short-term particulate exposures contributed to acute ischemic coronary events, especially among patients with underlying coronary artery disease, and individuals with stable presentation and those with angiographically demonstrated clean coronaries are not as susceptible to short- term particulate exposure.
