Filter by:To investigate the mechanisms of white coat hypertension and study it further as a risk factor for heart damage.
To evaluate the role of psychosocial factors in the development of hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
To elucidate the role of biobehavioral factors in the etiology, pathogenesis and course of coronary heart disease (CHD) and to use this knowledge to devise more effective prevention, treatment and rehabilitation approaches.
To conduct focused studies of lipoprotein physiology and pathophysiology in genetically characterized patients with the objectives of understanding disease mechanisms, developing better treatments, and identifying and preventing early vascular disease.
To continue the work of the Collaborative Studies Coordinating Center (CSCC) on international studies in cardiopulmonary disease epidemiology. The work was being performed under bilateral agreements that the NHLBI had entered into with Russia, The People's Republic of China and Pakistan. The contract provided nutritional, epidemiologic and biostatistical services in support of these studies.
To develop a comprehensive database publication (databook) utilizing available published and unpublished data on the prevalence of hypertension and its treatment and control in selected minority populations in the United States -- Hispanic, Asian and American Indian.
To test whether sleep-disordered breathing is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, all-cause mortality, and hypertension. The multicenter, longitudinal study draws on existing, well-characterized, and established epidemiologic cohorts.
To determine the prevalence and natural history of pulmonary and cardiac complications associated with HIV infection in utero, in infancy, and during early childhood.
To evaluate the relationships between smoking rate, gender, and body weight in the Hispanic Health and Nutrition Examination I Survey (HHANES) I. Also, to evaluate the independent and additive contribution of smoking rate and fasting glucose on body weight in HHANES I and NHANES II.
To investigate the relationship between dietary factors, especially macronutrients, and blood pressure in an international, multicenter observational study. A particular focus is to help elucidate the role of these dietary factors in accounting for the even more adverse blood pressure patterns of less educated population strata, especially in the United States, in both less educated Blacks and whites.
