Santeri Seppälä,Tomi Laitinen,Mika P. Tarvainen,Tuomo Tompuri,Aapo Veijalainen,Kai Savonen,Timo A. Lakka +6 more
TL;DR: Reference values for a large number of HRV parameters among children are defined for examining cardiac autonomic control among children.
Journal ArticleDOI

Noora Mattsson,Tapani Rönnemaa,Markus Juonala,Jorma Viikari,Eero Jokinen,Nina Hutri-Kähönen,Mika Kähönen,Tomi Laitinen,Olli T. Raitakari +8 more
TL;DR: Impaired brachial endothelial response is not a hallmark of MS in young adults, but the status of endothelial function modifies the association between metabolic risk factors and atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Repeated Blood Pressure Measurements in Childhood in Prediction of Hypertension in Adulthood
Mervi Oikonen,Joel Nuotio,Costan G. Magnussen,Jorma S. A. Viikari,Leena Taittonen,Tomi Laitinen,Nina Hutri-Kähönen,Eero Jokinen,Antti Jula,Michael Cheung,Matthew A. Sabin,Stephen R. Daniels,Olli T. Raitakari,Markus Juonala +13 more
TL;DR: Prediction of adulthood hypertension and high-risk intima-media was compared between one observation of abnormal blood pressure in childhood/youth and multiple observations by improved Pearson correlation coefficients and area under the receiver operating curve.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac Autonomic Dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetes – Effect of Hyperglycemia and Disease Duration
TL;DR: Elevated blood glucose levels have an unfavorable effect on cardiac autonomic function and this effect is pronounced in long-term T2DM patients, with the most significant decrease in HRV related to diabetes and thus presence of autonomic neuropathy observed within the first 5–10 years of disease progression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Exposure to parental smoking in childhood is associated with increased risk of carotid atherosclerotic plaque in adulthood: the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study
H. West,Markus Juonala,Seana L. Gall,Mika Kähönen,Tomi Laitinen,Leena Taittonen,Jorma Viikari,Olli T. Raitakari,Costan G. Magnussen +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined whether childhood exposure to passive smoking exposure was associated with carotid atherosclerotic plaque in young adults using a 26-year follow-up study.
