The Framingham Offspring Study: a commentary
Forty-three of 1,312 men aged 35 to 54 years in the Framingham Offspring Study had clinically recognized coronary heart disease at the initial examination. Twenty-six men in this group had previously had a myocardial infarction. Of 1,296 women in the same age range, only 11 had coronary disease and 3 a prior myocardial infarction.

Background. Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)J is an atherogenic particle that structurally resembles a low density lipoprotein (LDL) particle but contains a molecule of apolipoprotein(a) attached to apolipoprotein B-100 by a disulfide bond. Because elevated plasma levels of Lp(a) have been shown to be an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease, it is important to define normal ranges for this ...

The authors’ objectives were to investigate associations between cumulative SEP and the incidence of T2D in the Framingham Offspring Study (n 1⁄4 1,893; 52% women; mean baseline age 1⁄4 34 years). Pooled logi...

TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS AND ITS precursor, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), are associated with increased risk for morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD), particularly coronary heart disease. An increased prevalence of traditional risk factors for atherosclerosis (eg, hypertension, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C] levels) occurs in type 2 diabetes and IGT, b...

Background. Simple heart rate adjustment of ST segment depression during exercise (AST/HR index) and the pattern of ST depression as a function of heart rate during exercise and recovery (the rate-recovery loop) have been shown to improve the ability of the exercise electrocardiogram to detect the presence of coronary heart disease (CHD), but the performance of these methods for the prediction ...
