Relations Between Aortic Stiffness and Left Ventricular Mechanical Function in the Community

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundAortic stiffness impairs optimal ventricular–vascular coupling and left ventricular systolic function, particularly in the long axis. Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) has recently emerged as a sensitive measure of early cardiac

Evidence of widespread selection on standing variation in Europe at height-associated SNPs. [PDF]

, 2012
Strong signatures of positive selection at newly arising genetic variants are well documented in humans(1-8), but this form of selection may not be widespread in recent human evolution(9).

Autonomic Profile Changes after Pulsed‐Field versus Thermal Ablation in Patients with Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Catheter ablation is an established therapy for atrial fibrillation (AF), with thermal ablation as a standard modality. Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) is a nonthermal alternative that selectively ablates myocardium while sparing collateral tissue. Its comparative autonomic impact relative to thermal ablation remains unclear.

Relative Contributions of Arterial Stiffness and Hypertension to Cardiovascular Disease: The Framingham Heart Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundThe presence and implications of abnormal arterial stiffness, a potential independent predictor of outcomes, in community‐dwelling treated hypertensives is unknown.

Improvement of heart rate recovery after exercise training in older people. [PDF]

, 2005
Twenty-four subjects aged 70 and older were retrospectively selected from our archives and screened for symptoms of cardiovascular disease. Baseline exercise test was negative for myocardial ischemia in all subjects.

Hematocrit and left ventricular mass: the Framingham Heart study

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2004
The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between hematocrit (Hct) and left ventricular mass index (LVMI) and LV hypertrophy (LVH) in subjects without known hypertension or cardiovascular disease in the Framingham Heart study.Anemia may be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease in the general population.

Impaired nitric oxide‐dependent endothelial function in young male individuals with obesity before the onset of symptoms and complications

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Endothelial dysfunction drives obesity‐related complications. Doppler ultrasound measurement of blood flow during 1‐min passive leg movements (PLM) is a valuable non‐invasive tool for assessing endothelial function and nitric oxide (NO)‐mediated vasodilation.

Higher Burden of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease Is Associated With Risk of Incident Stroke in Community‐Dwelling Individuals

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Mild manifestations of individual cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) markers are common and may not denote increased risk, but high CSVD burden identifies individuals at increased risk of stroke and dementia.
