Natural History of Peripheral Arterial Disease
AtherosclerosisCoronary Disease3 moreThe Veterans Administration Patient Study examined the progression of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in patients with large vessel PAD or isolated small vessel PAD. The Community Follow-up Study following subjects with and without PAD from a previous cohort to determine subsequent coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality.
Natural History of Coronary Heart Disease
Cardiovascular DiseasesCoronary Disease8 moreTo examine the natural history of mortality due to coronary heart disease in post-myocardial infarction patients from the Beta-Blocker Heart Attack Trial (BHAT) and the Aspirin Myocardial Infarction Study (AMIS).
Mental Stress, Autonomic Function, and Heart Disease
Cardiovascular DiseasesHeart Diseases1 moreTo examine the vagal, vascular sympathetic, and mechno-structural components of baroreflex regulation in coronary artery disease (CAD) patients and healthy age-matched controls during rest and acute laboratory stress.
Pathobiological Determinants of Atherosclerosis in Youth (PDAY)
Cardiovascular DiseasesAtherosclerosis3 moreTo conduct a multicenter prevalence survey for characterizing pathologically the extent of atherosclerosis in the aortas and coronary arteries of young persons dying from accidental causes, suicide, or homicide.
Inflammation Markers Over Time in Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular DiseasesCoronary Disease3 moreTo determine inflammation markers over time in cardiovascular disease. To test the hypothesis that measures of coagulation and fibrinolysis correlate with the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) and other thrombosis related disorders, and to help identify those individuals at greatest risk, using the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) and Honolulu Heart Program (HHP) populations. These two genetically distinct populations had different event rates for CHD, and offered a unique opportunity to test associations that were uncovered by comparing results across populations.
Effects of Personality and Context on Recovery From Coronary Artery Bypass
Cardiovascular DiseasesCoronary Disease2 moreTo study the personality and environmental factors that may determine the short-term and long-term sequelae of coronary artery bypass surgery (CABS).
Change in Coronary Heart Disease Risk Factors in Young Adults
Cardiovascular DiseasesCoronary Disease1 moreTo prospectively examine changes in lipids, lipoproteins, and blood pressure among 295 young adults who had been followed for sixteen years in the Beaver County Lipid Study. The Beaver County Lipid Study tracked the cholesterol values of 295 children, ages 11 to 14 at baseline.
Cardiovascular Disease Trends 1980-91--A Gender Specific Perspective
Cardiovascular DiseasesHeart Diseases2 moreTo test hypotheses related to gender differences in cardiovascular mortality trends between 1980 and 1991 in two southeastern New England communities which were part of the Pawtucket Heart Health Program.
Race and the Use of Cardiovascular Surgical Procedures
Cardiovascular DiseasesHeart Diseases1 moreTo study the causes of persistent differences in Black-white access to tertiary care cardiovascular surgical services (TCCS).
Flavonoids and Cardiovascular Disease
Cardiovascular DiseasesHeart Diseases3 moreTo determine the association between flavonoids intake and the prevention of incident cardiovascular disease (CVD).
