Relative Contributions of Arterial Stiffness and Hypertension to Cardiovascular Disease: The Framingham Heart Study
BACKGROUND The presence and implications of abnormal arterial stiffness, a potential independent predictor of outcomes, in community-dwelling treated hypertensives is unknown. Furthermore, limited data exist regarding the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) associated with arterial stiffness across the entire range of blood pressure. METHODS AND RESULTS We measured carotid-femoral pulse wave...
متن کاملIncidence of Hypertension The Framingham Heart Study
Background Left ventricular hypertrophy is often found very early in the course of hypertension. It is not known whether increased left ventricular mass contributes to the pathogenesis of hypertension. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of left ventricular mass and other echocardiographically assessed cardiac structural features on the incidence of hypertension. Methods and Res...
متن کاملAssociation of Dietary Fat Pattern and Incidence of Cardiovascular Disease, Hypertension and Chronic Kidney Disease: Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study
Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), hypertension (HTN) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are chronic conditions of recent decades, and dietary intakes play an important role in their prevention. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between dietary fat pattern and incidence of these conditions. Materials and Methods: Participants of the third phase (2006-2008) of the T...
متن کاملArterial stiffness and cardiovascular events: the Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Various measures of arterial stiffness and wave reflection have been proposed as cardiovascular risk markers. Prior studies have not assessed relations of a comprehensive panel of stiffness measures to prognosis in the community. METHODS AND RESULTS We used proportional hazards models to analyze first-onset major cardiovascular disease events (myocardial infarction, unstable angina...
متن کاملNeck Circumference and the Development of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in the Framingham Heart Study
Upper-body subcutaneous adipose tissue, estimated by neck circumference (NC), is a unique fat depot that may confer additional risk for metabolic risk factors over generalized and central adiposity (1). Using a prospective study design, we now evaluate whether NC improves the prediction of incident cardiovascular disease risk factors over BMI and waist circumference (2). Framingham Heart Study ...
