Coronary artery calcification and cardiovascular risk factors: impact of the analytic approach.
TLDR
Applying several analytic approaches to CAC data to determine the impact of analytic methods on the association with established cardiovascular risk factors and recommend the use of at least two distinct multivariable methods.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Resistin Is an Inflammatory Marker of Atherosclerosis in Humans
Muredach P. Reilly,Michael Lehrke,Megan L. Wolfe,Anand Rohatgi,Mitchell A. Lazar,Daniel J. Rader +5 more
TL;DR: Plasma resistin levels are correlated with markers of inflammation and are predictive of coronary atherosclerosis in humans, independent of CRP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma leptin levels are associated with coronary atherosclerosis in type 2 diabetes.
Muredach P. Reilly,Nayyar Iqbal,Mark H. Schutta,Megan L. Wolfe,Monique Scally,A. Russell Localio,Daniel J. Rader,Stephen E. Kimmel +7 more
TL;DR: Plasma leptin levels were associated with CAC in type 2 diabetes after controlling adiposity and CRP, and represents a therapeutic target for the prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease remains to be explored.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolically-healthy obesity and coronary artery calcification.
Yoosoo Chang,Bo Kyoung Kim,Kyung Eun Yun,Juhee Cho,Yiyi Zhang,Sanjay Rampal,Di Zhao,Hyun Suk Jung,Yuni Choi,Jiin Ahn,Joao A.C. Lima,Hocheol Shin,Eliseo Guallar,Seungho Ryu +13 more
TL;DR: MHO participants had a higher prevalence of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis than metabolically-healthy normal-weight participants, which supports the idea that MHO is not a harmless condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship Between C-Reactive Protein and Subclinical Atherosclerosis The Dallas Heart Study
Amit Khera,James A. de Lemos,Ronald M Peshock,Hao S. Lo,Harold G. Stanek,Sabina A. Murphy,Frank H. Wians,Scott M. Grundy,Darren K. McGuire +8 more
TL;DR: In a large, population-based sample, subjects with higher CRP levels had a modest increase in the prevalence of subclinical atherosclerosis, but this association was not independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measures of Insulin Resistance Add Incremental Value to the Clinical Diagnosis of Metabolic Syndrome in Association With Coronary Atherosclerosis
Muredach P. Reilly,Megan L. Wolfe,Thomas Rhodes,Cynthia J. Girman,Nehal N. Mehta,Daniel J. Rader +5 more
TL;DR: Both MetSyn and HOMA index were associated with coronary atherosclerosis independent of established risk factors, including CRP, and these findings support the use of biomarkers of insulin resistance in addition to NCEP MetSyn criteria in assessing cardiovascular disease risk.

Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence and Trends in Obesity Among US Adults, 1999-2000
TL;DR: The increases in the prevalences of obesity and overweight previously observed continued in 1999-2000, and increases occurred for both men and women in all age groups and for non-Hispanic whites, non- Hispanic blacks, and Mexican Americans.

Bootstrap Methods and Their Application
Anthony C. Davison,David Hinkley +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a broad and up-to-date coverage of bootstrap methods, with numerous applied examples, developed in a coherent way with the necessary theoretical basis, is given, along with a disk of purpose-written S-Plus programs for implementing the methods described in the text.

Coronary Artery Calcium Area by Electron-Beam Computed Tomography and Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque Area A Histopathologic Correlative Study
TL;DR: This histopathologic study confirms an intimate relation between whole heart, coronary artery, and segmental coronary atherosclerotic plaque area and EBCT coronary calcium area but suggests that there is a threshold value for plaque area below which coronary calcium is either absent or not detectable by this methodology.

Cardiac calcification in adult hemodialysis patients: A link between end-stage renal disease and cardiovascular disease?
Paolo Raggi,Amy Boulay,Scott Chasan-Taber,Naseem Amin,Maureen A. Dillon,Steven K. Burke,Glenn M. Chertow +6 more
TL;DR: Coronary artery calcification is common, severe and significantly associated with ischemic cardiovascular disease in adult E SRD patients and the dysregulation of mineral metabolism in ESRD may influence vascular calcification risk.
