Background: We assessed whether plasma troponin I measured by a high-sensitivity assay (hs-TnI) is associated with incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality in community-based sample without prior CVD. Methods: ARIC study (Atherosclerosis Risk Communities) participants aged 54 to 74 years baseline CVD were included this (n=8121). Cox proportional hazards models constructed determine associations between hs-TnI coronary heart (CHD; myocardial infarction fatal CHD), ischemic stroke,...
Abstract Aims Interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-18 (IL-18), important cytokines implicated in atherosclerosis inflammaging, were assessed for associations with global cardiovascular disease (CVD), atrial fibrillation (AF), death older adults. Methods results Participants from Atherosclerosis Risk Communities study Visit 5 (mean age 75.4 ± 5.1 years) IL-6 IL-18 measurements included (n = 5672). Cox regression models used to assess of coronary heart (CHD), ischaemic stroke, failure (HF)...
Importance Most studies, especially in primary prevention patients, have evaluated N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) at one time point. Evaluation of change NT-proBNP may improve risk stratification for incident cardiovascular events. Objective To assess the association between and heart failure (HF) death. Design, Setting, Participants were recruited from 4 US communities enrolled Atherosclerosis Risk Community (ARIC) study. Individuals who attended ARIC visits 2...
Sex differences exist in heart failure (HF) phenotypes, but there is limited research on the role of sex hormones HF and its subtypes.
Abstract Context Lower dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S) levels have been inconsistently associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) and mortality. Data are limited for failure (HF) association between DHEA-S change events. Objective Assess associations low DHEA-S/DHEA-S incident HF hospitalization, CHD, mortality in older adults. Design was measured stored plasma from visits 4 (1996-1998) 5 (2011-2013) of the Atherosclerosis Risk Communities study. Follow-up events: 18 years level;...
OBJECTIVE Incorporation of comorbidity burden to inform diabetes management in older adults remains challenging. High-sensitivity cardiac troponins are objective, quantifiable biomarkers that may improve risk monitoring adults. We assessed the associations elevations high-sensitivity troponin I (hs-cTnI) and T (hs-cTnT) with comorbidities improvements mortality stratification. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS used logistic regression examine either (≥85th percentile) among 1,835 participants...
Adequate physical activity is an integral requirement for achieving cardiovascular health. Physical inactivity the fourth leading cause of death worldwide. Hence, it important to identify racial/ethnic groups that are less likely achieve sufficient levels, and address barriers meeting requirements.Cross-sectional data from 2006-2015 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) were used compare self-reported among different groups: non-Hispanic (NH) Whites, NH Blacks, Asians, Hispanics in United...
<b><i>Introduction:</i></b> Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides intra-procedural guidance in optimizing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and has been shown to improve clinical outcomes stent implantation. However, current data on the benefit of IVUS during PCI ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients is mixed. We performed meta-analysis pooling available assessing IVUS-guided versus angiography-guided STEMI patients....
