Journal ArticleDOI
Incidence of and Risk Factors for Atrial Fibrillation in Older Adults
Bruce M. Psaty,Teri A. Manolio,Lewis H. Kuller,Richard A. Kronmal,Mary Cushman,Linda P. Fried,Richard H. White,Curt D. Furberg,Pentti M. Rautaharju +8 more
TL;DR: The incidence of AF in older adults may be higher than estimated by previous population studies and left atrial size appears to be an important risk factor, and the control of blood pressure and glucose may be important in preventing the development of AF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inflammation as a risk factor for atrial fibrillation
Ronnier J. Aviles,David O. Martin,Carolyn Apperson-Hansen,Penny L. Houghtaling,Pentti M. Rautaharju,Richard A. Kronmal,Russell P. Tracy,David R. Van Wagoner,Bruce M. Psaty,Michael S. Lauer,Mina K. Chung +10 more
TL;DR: CRP is not only associated with the presence of AF but may also predict patients at increased risk for future development of AF.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of atrial fibrillation in elderly subjects (the Cardiovascular Health Study)
Curt D. Furberg,Bruce M. Psaty,Teri A. Manolio,Julius M. Gardin,Vivienne E. Smith,Pentti M. Rautaharju +5 more
TL;DR: The low prevalence of AF in the absence of clinical and subclinical cardiovascular disease calls into question the existence and clinical usefulness of the concept of so-called "lone atrial fibrillation" in the elderly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arterial Wall Thickness Is Associated With Prevalent Cardiovascular Disease in Middle-Aged Adults The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study
Gregory L. Burke,Gregory W. Evans,Ward A. Riley,A. Richey Sharrett,George Howard,Ralph W. Barnes,Wayne D. Rosamond,Richard S. Crow,Pentti M. Rautaharju,Gerardo Heiss +9 more
TL;DR: Data document the substantially greater arterial wall thickness observed in middle-aged adults with prevalent cardiovascular disease, related to clinically manifest cardiovascular disease affecting distant vascular beds, such as the cerebral, peripheral, and coronary artery vascular beds.
Journal ArticleDOI
AHA/ACCF/HRS Recommendations for the Standardization and Interpretation of the Electrocardiogram
TL;DR: The fourth in a series of 6 documents focused on providing current guidelines for the standardization and interpretation of the electrocardiogram (ECG) was published by the American Heart Association as discussed by the authors.
