Journal ArticleDOI

Extensive phenotype data and machine learning in prediction of mortality in acute coronary syndrome - the MADDEC study.

TL;DR: The use of extensive phenotype data and novel machine learning improves prediction of mortality in ACS over traditional GRACE score and supervised machine learning methods such as logistic regression and extreme gradient boosting significantly outperform conventional risk assessment by the current golden standard GRace score.
Journal ArticleDOI

Breast feeding in infancy and arterial endothelial function later in life. The Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study

TL;DR: Adult men who have been breast fed have better brachial endothelial function compared to men who has been formula fed, and breast feeding was not significantly associated with IMT or CAC in multivariable models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Matrix metalloproteinase 3 and 9 gene promoter polymorphisms: joint action of two loci as a risk factor for coronary artery complicated plaques

TL;DR: The joint action of two susceptibility loci, rather than single MMP genes alone, and the particular combination of MMP3 and MMP9 genotypes present at these loci may contribute to heterogeneity in the presentation of atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genes involved in systemic and arterial bed dependent atherosclerosis--Tampere Vascular study.

TL;DR: This study describes comprehensively the gene expression changes that generally prevail in human atherosclerotic plaques, and site specific genes induced only in femoral or aortic plaques were found, reflecting that atherosclerosis process has unique features in different vascular beds.
