Haemostatic function and ischaemic heart disease: principal results of the northwick park heart study
T.W. Meade,Milica Brozovic,R. Chakrabarti,Andy Haines,J D Imeson,Sandra Mellows,G.J. Miller,W R S North,Yvonne Stirling,S.G. Thompson +9 more
TL;DR: The Northwick Park Heart Study has investigated the thrombotic component of ischaemic heart disease by the inclusion of measures of haemostatic function, finding that the biochemical disturbance leading to IHD may lie at least as much in the coagulation system as in the metabolism of cholesterol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hæmostatic function and cardiovascular death: early results of a prospective study
T W Meade,R. Chakrabarti,Andy Haines,W R S North,Yvonne Stirling,S.G. Thompson,Milica Brozovic +6 more
TL;DR: The general epidemiology of factor VIIc, factor VIIIc, and fibrinogen is consistent with their having a role in the pathogenesis of IHD, and a clustering of two or three high clotting-factor values was present at recruitment in 63% of those who died of cardiovascular disease, compared with 23% ofThose who survived.
Journal ArticleDOI
Haemostasis in normal pregnancy.
TL;DR: The findings are consistent with a mild degree of local intravascular coagulation from early on in pregnancy in some women.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fetal and infant growth and cardiovascular risk factors in women.
Caroline H.D. Fall,Clive Osmond,David J.P. Barker,Penelope M.S. Clark,C. N. Hales,Yvonne Stirling,T W Meade +6 more
TL;DR: In women, as in men, reduced fetal growth leads to insulin resistance and the associated disorders: raised blood pressure and high serum triglyceride and low serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of changes in smoking and other characteristics on clotting factors and the risk of ischaemic heart disease
TL;DR: A substantial part of the relation between smoking and IHD appears to be mediated through the fibrinogen concentration, and following changes in body mass, VIIc rose in those who had given up smoking and fell in Those who resumed.
