Filter by:To determine the predictors of perioperative cardiac morbidity and mortality in patients at high risk who underwent major noncardiac surgery with general anesthesia.
To examine time trends in the incidence rates of acute myocardial infarction and out-of-hospital coronary heart disease deaths as well as changes in the in-hospital and long-term case-fatality rates of acute myocardial infarction in the Worcester, Massachusetts Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA).
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 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.
