Long‐Term Incidence of Dementia Following Transient Ischemic Attack: A Longitudinal Cohort Study
Background The association between transient ischemic attack (TIA) and dementia is incompletely characterized. Determining the cognitive sequalae of TIA is important as it can function as an early warning sign or additional risk factor for dementia.

Interrelations Between Arterial Stiffness, Target Organ Damage, and Cardiovascular Disease Outcomes
Background Excess transmission of pressure pulsatility caused by increased arterial stiffness may incur microcirculatory damage in end organs (target organ damage [TOD]) and, in turn, elevate risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events.

The association between eicosanoids and incident atrial fibrillation in the Framingham Heart Study
Chronic inflammation is a continuous low-grade activation of the systemic immune response. Whereas downstream inflammatory markers are associated with atrial fibrillation (AF), upstream inflammatory effectors including eicosanoids are less studied.

Plasma Leptin Levels and Incidence of Heart Failure, Cardiovascular Disease, and Total Mortality in Elderly Individuals [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: Obesity predisposes individuals to congestive heart failure (CHF) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Leptin regulates energy homeostasis, is elevated in obesity, and influences ventricular and vascular remodeling.

Heritability of Heart Rate Variability [PDF]
Background —There is evolving evidence that heart rate (HR) is genetically determined. Heart rate variability (HRV) measured by power spectral analysis provides quantitative phenotypic markers of autonomic nervous system activity.

Objective Socioeconomic status (SES) and lifestyle activities (LA) are strongly related, and both are associated with dementia risk. We investigated the influence of SES and LA on brain atrophy and cognitive decline considering amyloid‐beta (Aβ) positron emission tomography and white matter hyperintensity (WMH) load.

ABSTRACT Background Cardiac computed tomography (CT) is a well‐established process used to diagnose coronary artery disease; however, its specific advantages in predicting the use of atherectomy devices during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for moderate to severe calcified lesions remain to be determined.
