Journal ArticleDOI
Atrial fibrillation as an independent risk factor for stroke: the Framingham Study.
TL;DR: The data suggest that the elderly are particularly vulnerable to stroke when atrial fibrillation is present, and the effects of hypertension, coronary heart disease, and cardiac failure on the risk of stroke became progressively weaker with increasing age.
Journal ArticleDOI
General Cardiovascular Risk Profile for Use in Primary Care The Framingham Heart Study
Ralph B. D'Agostino,Ramachandran S. Vasan,Michael J. Pencina,Philip A. Wolf,Mark R. Cobain,Joseph M. Massaro,William B. Kannel +6 more
TL;DR: A sex-specific multivariable risk factor algorithm can be conveniently used to assess general CVD risk and risk of individual CVD events (coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral arterial disease and heart failure) and can be used to quantify risk and to guide preventive care.

TL;DR: These criteria for the diagnosis of vascular dementia are intended as a guide for case definition in neuroepidemiologic studies, stratified by levels of certainty (definite, probable, and possible).
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Atrial Fibrillation on the Risk of Death The Framingham Heart Study
Emelia J. Benjamin,Philip A. Wolf,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Halit Silbershatz,William B. Kannel,Daniel Levy +5 more
TL;DR: There was a significant AF-sex interaction: AF diminished the female advantage in survival and AF remained significantly associated with excess mortality, with about a doubling of mortality in both sexes in subjects free of valvular heart disease and preexisting cardiovascular disease.
