Filter by:To determine the clinical course of coronary artery disease among Blacks receiving medical care for symptomatic heart diseases.
To determine whether the degree of carotid artery atherosclerosis, as measured by B-mode ultrasound, predicts the development of myocardial infarction, stroke, and all-cause mortality in patients with angiographically defined coronary status. Also, to quantify the rate of progression of carotid artery disease and to evaluate the risk factors associated with progression of carotid atherosclerosis.
To assess the mode of inheritance of familial combined hyperlipidemia and familial primary hypoalphalipoproteinemia and to resolve genetic and familial environmental effects on several phenotypes of importance to coronary heart disease.
To assess the association of immunogenetic factors with onset of coronary heart disease and the interrelationship of these factors with standard coronary heart disease risk factors.
To further define the linkage of the Apo A-I gene polymorphism to genetic high density lipoprotein (HDL) deficiency and premature coronary artery disease. Also, to utilize this gene marker to define the prevalence of genetic HDL deficiency in patients with premature coronary disease and to determine the relative risk of premature coronary disease associated with the Apo A-I gene polymorphism.
To test the hypothesis that increased risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, and cancer is related to diets high in saturated fat, animal protein, and hydrogenated vegetable oil, and low in polyunsaturated fat, fiber, vitamins A, C, and E, calcium, selenium, and chromium.
In the first study, to identify children at high and low risk for cardiovascular disease and study their nutritional and physical activity behaviors as they relate to cardiovascular disease. In the second study, to make yearly assessments over a four year period of diet and physical activity among children and their parents. The initial effort redefined and retested methods to collect data on dietary intake and activity levels of young children.
To evaluate the relation between blood pressure and socioeconomic status, electrolyte intake, obesity and psychosocial factors in Black and white students. Also, to compare blood pressure, cardiovascular risk factors, sodium and potassium excretion in United States Blacks with West African Blacks.
To conduct a 25-year follow-up of the surviving participants in the Western Collaborative Group Study, the first large prospective study of coronary heart disease risk factors to incorporate direct assessment of Type A behavior.
To evaluate whether the long-term use of oral contraceptives, after discontinuation, was associated with an increased incidence of first nonfatal myocardial infarction among women above the age of 50.
