View clinical trials related to Atherosclerosis.
Filter by:To examine the relationship of risk factors measured in childhood to intimal medial thickness (IMT) in early adulthood and to examine familial factors which may be related to increased IMT, a measure of atherosclerosis.
To measure serum concentrations of alpha tocopherol, selenium and all major carotenoids (alpha- and beta- carotene, lutein, (beta-cryptoxanthin and lycopene) in Black and white, male and female, high and low education individuals aged 18-30 in 1985-86. In subsequent renewals additional markers of oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction have been measured in blood collected 7 to 30 years after baseline.
To describe and delineate in a prospective study the nature and causes of seasonal variation of blood lipid levels in the general population.
To investigate the role of serum and dietary antioxidants, serum pro-oxidants, and smoking on the progression/regression of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT).
To use the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial (MRFIT) stored serum bank to do nested case-control studies of various serum risk factors in coronary heart disease incidence and mortality.
To conduct a longitudinal study of central obesity and related risk factors found to be associated with hypertension and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in a previously-examined cross-sectional cohort of second-generation Japanese Americans and in a newly-recruited cohort of third generation Japanese Americans.
To investigate hemostatic variables in relation to cardiovascular risk in the Framingham Offspring Study cohort.
To investigate the relationship between coronary heart disease risk factors and coronary artery calcification in middle age adults from the Muscatine Study. From 1992 through 1995, ultrafast computed tomography was used to measure coronary artery calcification. The study has been extended through January, 2001 in order to examine the role of electron beam computed tomography in detecting the presence and quantity of coronary artery calcification, a marker of the atherosclerotic process.
Using subjects from the Rochester Family Heart Study (RFHS), to characterize predictors of coronary artery calcification (CAC), a potent marker of atherosclerosis, among individuals from the general population.
To examine the associations between diet, nutrition and coronary heart disease (CHD) incidence over seven years using the Cycle V Framingham Offspring/Spouse examination ; to examine the cross-sectional associations between dietary variables and major cardiovascular disease risk factors, to examine changes in dietary behaviors and their determinants over seven years; and to characterize the influences of dietary behavior changes on risk factor status between 1984-88 and 1991-94.
