Anemia as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study.
OBJECTIVES We investigated whether the presence of anemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes in the general population. BACKGROUND Chronic anemia is a risk factor for CVD outcomes in patients with kidney disease and in patients with heart failure, but has not been evaluated as a risk factor in the general population. METHODS The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (A...
متن کاملThe Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study
Dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system has been implicated in the development of hypertension. Heart rate variability is a noninvasive tool to quantitatively estimate cardiac autonomic activity and has been used to document decreased cardiac autonomic activity in hypertension. The ability of decreased heart rate variability to predict incident hypertension has not been well studied, and ...

Background and Purpose: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study is a prospective investigation of the etiology and natural history of atherosclerosis and the etiology of clinical disease in four US communities. Methods: Noninvasive ultrasonic methods were used to determine mean wall thickness (WT), radius (R), and circumferential arterial strain (CAS) in the left common carotid artery of ...

Background and Purpose—Blood pressure (BP) is a predictor of concurrent and subsequently measured white-matter hyperintensity (WMH), but longitudinal studies of WMH changes and data in black participants are lacking. We hypothesized that WMH progression would be (1) strongly related to BP in blacks and whites and (2) predicted more strongly by earlier (midlife) or cumulative BP measurements tha...
متن کاملHemoglobin, Albuminuria, and Kidney Function in Cardiovascular Risk: The ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities) Study
BACKGROUND Reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and elevated urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) individually increase risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We hypothesized that these associations are stronger among people with abnormal (both low and high) hemoglobin levels. METHODS AND RESULTS Using 5801 participants with available hemoglobin measures of the ARIC (Athero...
