TL;DR: An association between myocardial infarction and a common sequence variant on chromosome 9p21 was associated with the disease with high significance and approximately 21% of individuals in the population are homozygous for this variant, and their estimated risk of suffering myocardious disease is 1.64 times as great as that of noncarriers.

TL;DR: Learning and understanding more about the burden and causes of VTE, and raising awareness among the public and healthcare providers through a comprehensive public health approach, has enormous potential to prevent and reduce death and morbidity from deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism throughout the U.S.

TL;DR: An association between myocardial infarction and a common sequence variant on chromosome 9p21 was associated with the disease with high significance and approximately 21% of individuals in the population are homozygous for this variant, and their estimated risk of suffering myocardious disease is 1.64 times as great as that of noncarriers.

TL;DR: In healthy subjects without confounding risk factors or significant systemic inflammation, a high cystine level, reflecting extracellular oxidant burden, is associated with increased arterial stiffness and wave reflections, which has implications for understanding the role of oxidant load in pre-clinical vascular dysfunction.

TL;DR: Women with obstetric complications are at highest risk for postpartum venous thromboembolism, and this risk remains elevated throughout the first 12 weeks after delivery.
