Journal ArticleDOI
Cross-sectional relations of electrocardiographic QRS duration to left ventricular dimensions: the Framingham Heart Study.
Ravi Dhingra,Byung-Ho Nam,Emelia J. Benjamin,Thomas J. Wang,Martin G. Larson,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Daniel Levy,Daniel Levy,Ramachandran S. Vasan +8 more
TL;DR: In the authors' community-based sample of individuals free of HF and MI, increasing electrocardiographic QRS duration was positively related to LV mass and dimensions, and inversely associated with LV FS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unique Dietary Patterns and Chronic Disease Risk Profiles of Adult Men: The Framingham Nutrition Studies
Barbara E. Millen,Paula A. Quatromoni,Michael J. Pencina,Ruth W Kimokoti,Byung-H.O. Nam,Sonia Cobain,Waldemar Kozak,Danielle P. Appugliese,Jose M. Ordovas,Ralph B. D'Agostino +9 more
TL;DR: Five distinct and comprehensive dietary patterns of Framingham Offspring-Spouse men were identified and ordered according to overall nutritional risk: Transition to Heart Healthy, Higher Starch, Average Male, Lower Variety, and Empty Calories.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitral annular calcification is a predictor for incident atrial fibrillation
Caroline S. Fox,Helen Parise,Ramachandran S. Vasan,Daniel Levy,Daniel Levy,Christopher J. O'Donnell,Christopher J. O'Donnell,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Jonathan F. Plehn,Emelia J. Benjamin +9 more
TL;DR: The association between MAC and incident AF may be mediated partially through left atrial enlargement, and the importance of better understanding the mechanisms involved in cardiac valvular calcification is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
The internal validity of a dietary pattern analysis. The Framingham Nutrition Studies
Paula A. Quatromoni,Donna L. Copenhafer,Serkalem Demissie,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Catherine E. O’Horo,Byung-Ho Nam,Barbara E. Millen +6 more
TL;DR: Findings support the internal validity of a dietary pattern analysis for characterising dietary exposures in epidemiological research and encourage other researchers to explore this technique when investigating relations between nutrition, health, and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relations of serum phosphorus levels to echocardiographic left ventricular mass and incidence of heart failure in the community
Ravi Dhingra,Philimon Gona,Emelia J. Benjamin,Thomas J. Wang,Jayashri Aragam,Ralph B. D'Agostino,William B. Kannel,Ramachandran S. Vasan +7 more
TL;DR: To evaluate the association of serum phosphorus with cardiac structure/function and incident heart failure, serum phosphorus is measured through positron emission tomography and radiolysis to establish a straightforward relationship between serum phosphorus and cardiac structure and function.
