Journal ArticleDOI

Risk factor exposure in individuals free from cardiovascular disease differs according to age at first myocardial infarction

TL;DR: Exposure to cholesterol and family history of MI more strongly predicts onset of MI at younger ages, suggesting that MI in younger subjects is preceded by a different risk factor pattern than MI presenting in older subjects.
Journal ArticleDOI

FADD, Caspase-3, and Caspase-8 and Incidence of Coronary Events.

TL;DR: The in vitro experiments support the view that these biomarkers could reflect activation of the extrinsic apoptotic pathway and were associated with increased incidence of CE in subjects from the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel microRNA regulators of atrial natriuretic peptide production

TL;DR: This study used a multifaceted screening strategy that integrates bioinformatics, next-generation sequencing data, human genetic association data, and cellular models to identify additional functional NPPA-targeting miRNAs that could be targeted to raise ANP levels, which may have applications for the treatment of hypertension or heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Complement C3 Associates With Incidence of Diabetes, but No Evidence of a Causal Relationship.

TL;DR: Plasma concentration of C3 is a risk marker for incidence of diabetes and the results suggest that this association could, in part, be explained by pleiotropic effects related to the GCKR gene.
