Filter by:To conduct a genetic epidemiologic study of the coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors of blood lipids and obesity in Black and white girls who participated in the NHLBI-supported National Growth and Health Study (NGHS). The study was ancillary to NGHS.
To determine prospectively the extent to which structural and functional aspects of social support influences 'hard' cardiac events such as death and non-fatal myocardial infarction in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and to identify the behavioral and biological mediators of these influences.
To examine the mechanism through which social support affects morbidity and mortality from coronary heart disease.
To investigate the differences in diet, fat cell morphology and lipoprotein metabolism in previously- overweight and naturally lean men and women who ran and who lived sedentary lifestyles in order to better understand the relationship between lipoprotein metabolism and weight set-point.
To continue an international collaborative study on hypertension in populations of West African origin.
In the first phase, to establish the relationship of progression of peripheral vascular disease (PVD) to plasma homocysteine. In the second phase, to conduct a randomized, controlled trial of folic acid treatment of plasma homocysteine in peripheral vascular disease.
To determine whether deficient vagal antagonism of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) actions on the heart contributed to increased coronary heart disease risk in hostile persons.
To conduct a dietary intervention trial to test the lipid lowering response to the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) Step Two Diet by free-living hyperlipidemic women and men and to compare the response between them.
To determine the contribution of polymorphic variation in candidate genes involved in lipid metabolism in determining quantitative lipoprotein-lipid levels and cardiovascular risk factors in Anglo and Hispanic populations of the San Luis Valley in southern Colorado. The candidate genes included those for A-IV, B, D, E, H, APO(a), LDL receptor, hepatic lipase, lipoprotein lipase, lethicin cholesterol acyletransferase (LCAT), and cholesteryl ester transfer protein.
To study the personality and environmental factors that may determine the short-term and long-term sequelae of coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS).
