Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of fluticasone propionate/salmeterol on arterial stiffness in patients with COPD
Mark T. Dransfield,John R. Cockcroft,Raymond R. Townsend,Harvey O. Coxson,Sanjay Sharma,David B Rubin,Amanda Emmett,Michael J. Cicale,Glenn Crater,Fernando J. Martinez +9 more
TL;DR: FSC does not reduce aPWV in all patients with moderate to severe COPD, but may have effects in those with elevated arterial stiffness, as determined by ECG-gated carotid and femoral artery waveforms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Serum Fractalkine (CX3CL1) and Cardiovascular Outcomes and Diabetes: Findings From the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study.
Rachana Shah,Gregory J. Matthews,Rhia Shah,Catherine McLaughlin,Jing Chen,Melanie Wolman,Stephen R. Master,Boyang Chai,Dawei Xie,Daniel J. Rader,Dominic S. Raj,Nehal N. Mehta,Matthew J. Budoff,Michael J. Fischer,Michael J. Fischer,Alan S. Go,Raymond R. Townsend,Jiang He,John W. Kusek,Harold I. Feldman,Andrea S. Foulkes,Muredach P. Reilly,Lawrence J. Appel,James P. Lash,Akinlolu O. Ojo,Mahboob Rahman +25 more
TL;DR: Circulating CX3CL1 level may contribute to both atherosclerotic CVD and diabetes in a CKD cohort and further studies are required to establish mechanisms through which CX2CL1 affects the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and diabetes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk Factors for Coronary Artery Calcium Among Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease (from the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study)
Jiang He,Muredach P. Reilly,Wei Yang,Jing Chen,Alan S. Go,James P. Lash,Mahboob Rahman,Chris Defilippi,Crystal A. Gadegbeku,Radhika Kanthety,Kaixiang Tao,L. Lee Hamm,Akinlolu O. Ojo,Raymond R. Townsend,Matthew J. Budoff +14 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that abnormal calcium and phosphate metabolism, insulin resistance, and declining kidney function are associated with the prevalence of high CAC, independent of the traditional risk factors in patients with CKD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic Syndrome, Components, and Cardiovascular Disease Prevalence in Chronic Kidney Disease: Findings from the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study
Raymond R. Townsend,Amanda H. Anderson,Jing Chen,Crystal A. Gadebegku,Harold I. Feldman,Jeffrey C. Fink,Alan S. Go,Marshall M. Joffe,Lisa Nessel,Akinlolu O. Ojo,Daniel J. Rader,Muredach P. Reilly,Valerie Teal,Karen L. Teff,Jackson T. Wright,Dawei Xie +15 more
TL;DR: The factors defining metabolic syndrome, considered as a single interval-scaled variable, was the best of four models of metabolic syndrome both for CKD participants overall and for diabetics and non-diabetics separately.
Journal ArticleDOI
Candidate gene association study of coronary artery calcification in chronic kidney disease: findings from the CRIC study (Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort).

TL;DR: Several loci associated with CAC in CKD that also relate to MI in a general population sample are identified and may provide a useful setting for discovery of novel CHD genes and pathways.
