John G. Webb,Sanjeevan Pasupati,Karin H. Humphries,Christopher R. Thompson,Lukas Altwegg,Robert Moss,Ajay Sinhal,Ronald G. Carere,Brad Munt,Donald R. Ricci,Jian Ye,Anson Cheung,Sam V. Lichtenstein +12 more
TL;DR: Percutaneous valve replacement may be an alternative to conventional open heart surgery in selected high-risk patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis in whom there was a consensus that the risks of conventional openheart surgery were very high.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Nonatherosclerotic spontaneous coronary artery dissection (NA-SCAD) is underdiagnosed and an important cause of myocardial infarction in young women and survivors are at risk for recurrent cardiovascular events, including recurrent SCAD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Visceral adipose tissue accumulation differs according to ethnic background: results of the Multicultural Community Health Assessment Trial (M-CHAT)
Scott A. Lear,Karin H. Humphries,Simi Kohli,Arun Chockalingam,Jiri Frohlich,C. Laird Birmingham +5 more
TL;DR: Compared with Europeans, the Chinese and South Asian cohorts had a relatively greater amount of abdominal adipose tissue, and this difference was more pronounced with VAT.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comprehensive view of sex-specific issues related to cardiovascular disease
Louise Pilote,Kaberi Dasgupta,Veena Guru,Karin H. Humphries,Jennifer J. McGrath,Colleen M. Norris,Doreen M. Rabi,Johanne Tremblay,Arsham Alamian,Tracie A. Barnett,Jafna L. Cox,William A.

TL;DR: The lack of good trial evidence concerning sex-specific outcomes has led to assumptions about CVD treatment in women, which may have resulted in inadequate diagnoses and suboptimal management, greatly affecting outcomes, and may also explain why cardiovascular health in women is not improving as fast as that of men.
