Filter by:To better understand the excess cardiovascular disease associated with diabetes mellitus.
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.
To examine the relationship of risk factors measured in childhood to intimal medial thickness (IMT) in early adulthood and to examine familial factors which may be related to increased IMT, a measure of atherosclerosis.
To investigate hemostatic variables in relation to cardiovascular risk in the Framingham Offspring Study cohort.
To determine whether postprandial lipoproteins were associated with atherosclerosis, and if so, whether the association was statistically independent of that between fasting lipoproteins and atherosclerosis.
To examine the relationships among psychosocial factors and carotid atherosclerosis, myocardial ischemia, arrhythmias, and thrombosis.
To determine whether a population with isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) had a higher prevalence of carotid disease than a normotensive population matched for age and sex, and to determine specific risk factors for carotid disease.
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 determine cardiovascular risk factors and the change in risk factors during and following the menopause.
To determine morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease among American Indians and to compare cardiovascular disease risk factor levels among Indian groups living in different geographic areas.
