Filter by:To continue examinations of 670 girls enrolled in the National Growth and Health Study (NGHS) for four more years, adding measurements of total peripheral resistance, cardiac output, DEXA scans for fat-free mass and fat mass, left ventricular mass and geometry, circulating blood volume, whole blood viscosity, and left ventricular contractility.
To examine a school-based population of children for maturational changes in blood pressure and cardiac structures.
To investigate the variability of lipids and specifically the effects of stress on serum triglyceride levels, total cholesterol, HDL, and LDL in a 2.5 year epidemiological study.
To estimate the relative risks of acute myocardial infarction (MI) and of stroke in postmenopausal users of estrogen/progestogen (E/P) combinations and to estimate the relative risks of MI and of stroke in users of estrogen alone.
To map the major gene influencing low-density lipoprotein subclass phenotypes, denoted atherogenic lipoprotein (ALP) phenotypes, with a long term goal of cloning the ALP gene and understanding its role in genetic susceptibility to atherosclerosis.
To perform extensive analyses of data from the Dietary Intervention Study of Hypertension (DISH)..
To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of cholesterol-lowering strategies in the United States population. The study used the Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) Policy Model, a state-transition computer simulation model used to obtain forecasts of the public health impact and economic cost of CHD in the United States population.
To identify individual genes that contribute to variation in susceptibility to coronary heart disease (CHD) in Mexican Americans. The program project grant supports the San Antonio Family Heart Study, the first comprehensive genetic epidemiological study of atherosclerosis and its correlates in Mexican Americans.
To evaluate factors associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a cohort of 795 men and women aged 75 years or older at the time of a comprehensive examination conducted between 1984 and 1987.
To investigate whether women with Polycystic Ovary syndrome (PCOS) have evidence of an increased prevalence rate of subclinical atherosclerosis as measured by the presence of plaque, increased intima-medial carotid artery wall thickness and lower brachial artery flow mediated vasodilation.
