Cardiac Troponin T Measured by a Highly Sensitive Assay Predicts Coronary Heart Disease, Heart Failure, and Mortality in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
Justin T. Saunders,Justin T. Saunders,Vijay Nambi,James A. de Lemos,Lloyd E. Chambless,Salim S. Virani,Salim S. Virani,Eric Boerwinkle,Ron C. Hoogeveen,Xiaoxi Liu,Brad C. Astor,Thomas H. Mosley,Aaron R. Folsom,Gerardo Heiss,Josef Coresh,Christie M. Ballantyne +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated whether cardiac troponin T (cTnT) measured with a new highly sensitive assay was associated with incident coronary heart disease (CHD), mortality, and hospitalization for heart failure (HF) in a general population of participants in the ARIC Study.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genetic targeting of green fluorescent protein to gonadotropin-releasing hormone neurons: Characterization of whole-cell electrophysiological properties and morphology
Kelly J. Suter,Walter J. Song,Traci L. Sampson,Jean Pierre Wuarin,Justin T. Saunders,F. Edward Dudek,Suzanne M. Moenter +6 more
TL;DR: Direct intracellular morphological assessment of GnRH dendritic morphology revealed GnRH neurons have slightly more extensive dendrites than previously reported, indicating that voltage-dependent sodium channels are involved in generating action potentials in these cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sources of Variability in Measurements of Cardiac Troponin T in a Community-Based Sample: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study
Sunil K. Agarwal,Sunil K. Agarwal,Christy L. Avery,Christie M. Ballantyne,Diane Catellier,Vijay Nambi,Justin T. Saunders,A. Richey Sharrett,Josef Coresh,Gerardo Heiss,Ron C. Hoogeveen +10 more
TL;DR: The observed high laboratory and intraindividual (biological) reliability of cardiac troponin T support its use for population-based research, and in clinical settings that rely on classification and serial measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiomyopathy in type 2 diabetes: update on pathophysiological mechanisms.
TL;DR: In this paper, several metabolic perturbations associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus have been implicated as contributors to the heart failure risk, including alterations of cardiomyocyte metabolic substrate switching between free fatty acid (FFA) and glucose metabolism; increased FFA exposure and cellular accumulation; and alterations in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-(PPAR-) alpha activity, among others.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variability and persistence of aspirin response in lower extremity peripheral arterial disease patients.
Justin T. Saunders,Vijay Nambi,Vijay Nambi,Kay T. Kimball,Salim S. Virani,Salim S. Virani,Joel D. Morrisett,Alan B. Lumsden,Christie M. Ballantyne,Christie M. Ballantyne,Jing-fei Dong +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the prevalence of poor response to aspirin (ASA) therapy over 12-month follow-up in patients with lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and to compare the classification agreement among different ASA response assays was determined.
