Prognostic Implications of Echocardiographically Determined Left Ventricular Mass in the Framingham Heart Study
TL;DR: The estimation of left ventricular mass by echocardiography offers prognostic information beyond that provided by the evaluation of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, and it is concluded that an increase in left Ventricular mass predicts a higher incidence of clinical events, including death, attributable to cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
High density lipoprotein as a protective factor against coronary heart disease: The Framingham study
TL;DR: The major potent lipid risk factor was HDL cholesterol, which had an inverse association with the incidence of coronary heart disease in either men or women and these associations were equally significant even when other lipids and other standard risk factors for coronaryHeart disease were taken into consideration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Obesity as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease: a 26-year follow-up of participants in the Framingham Heart Study.
TL;DR: Intervention in obesity, in addition to the well established risk factors, appears to be an advisable goal in the primary prevention of CVD.

TL;DR: A consistent inverse relation of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and coronary heart disease event rates was apparent in BRHS as well as in the four American studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Natural History of Congestive Heart Failure: The Framingham Study
TL;DR: The natural history of congestive heart failure was studied over a 16-year period in 5192 persons initially free of the disease, finding that in almost every five-year age group, from 30 to 62 years, the incidence rate was greater for men than for women.
