ContextGuidelines advise that all adults undergo coronary heart disease (CHD) risk assessment to guide preventive treatment intensity. Although the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) is often recommended for this, it has been suggested may be improved by additional tests such as artery calcium scoring (CACS).ObjectivesTo determine whether CACS combined with FRS in asymptomatic provides prognostic information superior either method alone and approach can more accurately primary strategies patients...
The role of walking, as compared with vigorous exercise, in the prevention cardiovascular disease remains controversial. Data for women who are members minority racial or ethnic groups particularly sparse.
Multiple epidemiologic studies and some trials have linked diet with cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention, but long-term intervention data are needed.To test the hypothesis that a dietary intervention, intended to be low in fat high vegetables, fruits, grains reduce cancer, would CVD risk.Randomized controlled trial of 48,835 postmenopausal women aged 50 79 years, diverse backgrounds ethnicities, who participated Women's Health Initiative Dietary Modification Trial. Women were randomly...
There is increasing interest in utilizing novel markers of cardiovascular disease risk, and consequently, there a need to assess the value their use. This scientific statement reviews current concepts risk evaluation proposes standards for critical appraisal assessment methods. An adequate marker requires sound research design, representative at-risk population, an number outcome events. Studies should report degree which it adds prognostic information provided by standard markers. No single...
The coronary artery calcium score (CACS) has been shown to predict future heart disease (CHD) events. However, the extent which adding CACS traditional CHD risk factors improves classification of is unclear.To determine whether a prediction model based on risk.CACS was measured by computed tomography in 6814 participants from Multi-Ethnic Study Atherosclerosis (MESA), population-based cohort without known cardiovascular disease. Recruitment spanned July 2000 September 2002; follow-up...
<h3>Context</h3>Risk markers including coronary artery calcium, carotid intima–media thickness, ankle-brachial index, brachial flow–mediated dilation, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP), and family history of heart disease (CHD) have been reported to improve on the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) for prediction CHD, but there are no direct comparisons these risk in a single cohort.<h3>Objective</h3>We compared improvement incident CHD/cardiovascular (CVD) 6 within intermediate-risk...
A frequently cited concept is that individual major risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) are absent in many patients (perhaps >50%) with CHD. However, prior studies have not systematically evaluated the extent to which CHD previous exposure at least 1 factor, including diabetes, cigarette smoking, or clinically elevated levels of cholesterol blood pressure.To determine frequency factors.Three prospective cohort were included: Chicago Heart Association Detection Project Industry, a...
Epidemiologic data on the possible benefit of eating fish to reduce risk coronary heart disease have been inconsistent. We used from Chicago Western Electric Study examine relation between base-line consumption and 30-year death disease.
The lifetime risks of cardiovascular disease have not been reported across the age spectrum in black adults and white adults.
Persons with lower-extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are often asymptomatic or have leg symptoms other than intermittent claudication (IC).To identify clinical characteristics and functional limitations associated a broad range of identified among patients PAD.Cross-sectional study 460 men women PAD 130 without PAD, who were consecutively, conducted between October 1998 January 2000 at 3 Chicago-area medical centers.Ankle-brachial index score less 0.90; scores from 6-minute walk,...
