Caroline S. Fox,Caroline S. Fox,L. Adrienne Cupples,Irmarie Chazaro,Joseph F. Polak,Philip A. Wolf,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Jose M. Ordovas,Christopher J. O'Donnell,Christopher J. O'Donnell +9 more
TL;DR: Substantial evidence is provided for a QTL on chromosome 12 influencing ICA IMT and for association of a rare variant of SCARB1, or a nearby locus, with I CA IMT.
Journal ArticleDOI
C - Reactive Protein, Inflammatory Conditions and Cardiovascular Disease Risk
Ravi Dhingra,Ravi Dhingra,Philimon Gona,Byung-Ho Nam,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Peter W.F. Wilson,Emelia J. Benjamin,Christopher J. O'Donnell,Christopher J. O'Donnell +8 more
TL;DR: There is high prevalence of common and uncommon inflammatory conditions in individuals with high CRP concentrations, and these individuals should be interpreted with caution in cardiovascular disease risk assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the Effect of Batterer Program Completion on Reassault Using Propensity Scores
TL;DR: Assessment of program effect using propensity score analysis with a quasi-experimental sample indicates that program completion reduced the probability of reassault during the 15-month follow-up, and by nearly 50% for the court-ordered men.
Journal ArticleDOI
BMI vs. waist circumference for identifying vascular risk.
Matthew S. Freiberg,Michael J. Pencina,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Katherine J. Lanier,Peter W.F. Wilson,Ramachandran S. Vasan +5 more
TL;DR: This investigation investigated the relative contributions of BMI and WC toward identifying risk of adverse vascular events in a community‐based sample to recommend measurement of both BMI and waist circumference.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heart rate in relation to insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion in nondiabetic subjects.
TL;DR: Proinsulin, acute insulin secretion, and S(I) are associated with heart rate in nondiabetic subjects and is proposed as a global index of the autonomic nervous system influence on the heart.
