Arterial stiffness and coronary artery disease
The current traditional risk scores are not sufficient to predict the full incidence of cardiovascular disease. In this brief review, we discuss the pathophysiological mechanisms through which arterial stiffness affects cardiac function and the additive value of markers of arterial stiffness, to detect the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and ...

Genetics of Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]
Coronary heart disease affects ≈15.4 million individuals in the United States1 and is one of the main causes of mortality and morbidity.1 A familial component contributes to cardiovascular disease (CVD) susceptibility,2 but it was not until the emergence of genomewide association studies (GWAS) that genetic loci were identified that displayed ...

Socioeconomic Status and Subclinical Coronary Disease in the Whitehall II Epidemiological Study
Background: There are pronounced socioeconomic disparities in coronary heart disease, but the extent to which these primarily reflect gradients in underlying coronary artery disease severity or in the clinical manifestation of advanced disease is ...
