Journal ArticleDOI

Newman,Khurram Nasir,Albert Hofman,Albert Hofman,Nils Lehmann,Klodian Dhana,Ron Blankstein,Udo Hoffmann,Stefan Möhlenkamp,Joseph M. Massaro,Amir A. Mahabadi,Joao A.C. Lima,M.

TL;DR: Coronary artery calcium score was more likely than age to provide higher category-free net reclassification improvement among participants who experienced an ASCVD event, and providing improved discrimination for incident CHD and modestly improved prediction of incident stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neck circumference and the development of cardiovascular disease risk factors in the Framingham Heart Study.
Sarah R. Preis,Sarah R. Preis,Michael J. Pencina,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Ralph B. D'Agostino,James B. Meigs,Ramachandran S. Vasan,Ramachandran S. Vasan,Caroline S. Fox,Caroline S. Fox +9 more
TL;DR: Whether NC improves the prediction of incident cardiovascular disease risk factors over BMI and waist circumference is evaluated using a prospective study design and logistic regression models were used to test the association between 1 SD increment of NC with each outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glucose Control Predicts 2-Year Change in Lipid Profile in Youth with Type 1 Diabetes
David M. Maahs,David M. Maahs,David M. Maahs,Dana Dabelea,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Jeannette S. Andrews,Amy S. Shah,Nancy A. Crimmins,Elizabeth J. Mayer-Davis,Santica M. Marcovina,Giuseppina Imperatore,R. Paul Wadwa,Steven R. Daniels,Kristi Reynolds,Richard F. Hamman,Lawrence M. Dolan +15 more
TL;DR: Improved glucose control over a 2-year follow-up was associated with a more favorable lipid profile but may be insufficient to normalize lipids in dyslipidemic T1D youth needing to decrease lipids to goal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiovascular risk estimation in 2012: lessons learned and applicability to the HIV population
TL;DR: The development of CVD risk functions for HIV- Infected individuals are reviewed and the usefulness of extending the Framingham risk equation to the HIV-infected population is commented on and the need to develop more-specific risk prediction equations uniquely tailored to this population is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intra- and interobserver reproducibility of Doppler-assessed indexes of left ventricular diastolic function in a population-based study (the Framingham Heart Study).
Maurizio Galderisi,Emelia J. Benjamin,Jane C. Evans,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Deborah L. Fuller,Brigitta Lehman,Philip A. Wolf,Daniel Levy +7 more
TL;DR: Although the interobserver bias was statistically significant for most of the parameters, it was < 10% for all but 1 parameter, and in subjects in sinus rhythm, the reproducibility of left ventricular inflow was significantly lower than expected.
