Epidemiological studies have established the association between excessive alcohol consumption and systemic hypertension (SH). However, there are conflicting reports of the association of low to moderate alcohol consumption with SH. The objective of the study was to examine the associations of alcohol consumption and blood pressure categories using...
Background:
Older patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) have severely impaired physical function (PF) and quality of life (QOL). However, relationships between impairments in PF and QOL are unknown but are relevant to clinical practice and trial design.
Methods:
We assessed 202 consecutive patients hospitalized with ADHF in the...
Increased carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) is associated with heart failure (HF) in previous studies, but it is not known whether the association of cIMT differs between HF with reduced (HFrEF) versus preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We studied 6699 participants (mean age 62 ± 10 years, 47% male, and 38% white) from the Multi-Ethnic Study...
Background:
South Asians are the second fastest growing ethnic group in the United States, and they have a high risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Moderate alcohol consumption has been associated with lower CVD risk in some race/ethnic groups, but the association of alcohol consumption and atherosclerosis in South Asians has not been investiga...
Background:
Cardiac Infarction/Injury Score (CIIS), an electrocardiographic based scoring system, is a surrogate marker of subclinical myocardial injury (SC-MI) and has shown excellent prognostic value in predicting future cardiovascular mortality. As an association of mild to moderate alcohol consumption with cardiovascular disease (CVD) is confl...
Background: Cardiac Infarction/Injury Score (CIIS), an electrocardiographic based scoring system, is a sur-rogate marker of subclinical myocardial injury (SC-MI) and has shown excellent prognostic value in predicting future cardiovascular mortality. As an association of mild to moderate alcohol consumption with cardiovascular disease (CVD) is confl...
Resting heart rate (RHR) is independently associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. We determined whether RHR, measured in mid-life, is also associated with cognitive decline. We studied 13,720 middle-aged white and black ARIC participants without a history of stroke or atrial fibrillation. RHR was obtained from a 12-lead resting electroca...
Background: Resting heart rate (RHR) is an easily measured marker that is independently associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. There are several potential mechanisms by which RHR could affect cognitive function, but little is known about the relation of RHR and cognitive decline. We examined the association of RHR with 20 year cognitive...
Introduction: Older patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) have impaired physical function (PF) and reduced quality of life (QOL). However, the relationship between impairments in PF and QOL are unknown but relevant to clinical practice and design of targeted intervention trials in this high-risk population.
Methods: We assessed 202...
Arterial calcification reflects an atherosclerotic process associated with vascular stiffness. Whether baseline coronary artery calcium (CAC) and extra-coronary calcium (ECC), measured using noncontrast computed tomography imaging, are associated with incident hypertension is poorly understood. We studied participants from the Multi-Ethnic Study of...
Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction plays a role in atrial fibrillation (AF) initiation. Cardiorespiratory fitness modulates ANS function and is inversely associated with resting heart rate (RHR) and risk of AF. Thus, we sought to study the association between RHR, as a surrogate for ANS function, and incident AF independent of exercise capa...
Objective: Autonomic nervous system dysfunction plays an important role in atrial fibrillation (AF) initiation. Research suggests that vagal tone may mediate paroxysmal AF, such that a low resting heart rate (RHR) is associated with incident AF. However, conflicting reports also suggest that elevated RHR identifies risk for AF. Thus, we sought to f...
Given that sympathetic tone is associated with hypertension, we sought to determine whether resting heart rate (RHR), as a surrogate for cardiac autonomic function, was associated with incident hypertension.
We analyzed 21,873 individuals without a history of hypertension who underwent a clinically indicated exercise stress test. Baseline RHR was a...
Whether resting heart rate (RHR) predicts mortality independent of fitness is not well established, particularly among women. We analyzed data from 56,634 subjects (49% women) without known coronary artery disease or atrial fibrillation who underwent a clinically indicated exercise stress test. Baseline RHR was divided into 5 groups with <60 beats/...
