Impact of fibrinogen levels on angiographic progression and 12-year survival in the armed forces regression study.
(Angiology, 2010-05)
We assessed the role of fibrinogen levels on angiographic progression and long-term
survival among 111 patients with coronary disease enrolled in the Armed Forces Regression
Study (AFREGS). Baseline fibrinogen levels and ...
Impact of increases in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol on cardiovascular outcomes during the armed forces regression study.
(J Cardiovasc Pharmacol Ther, 2010-12)
INTRODUCTION: high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is a well-established inverse
risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The extent to which cardiovascular risk can
be modified through changes in HDL, however, is less ...
Factors associated with mortality in transplant patients with invasive aspergillosis.
(Clin Infect Dis, 2010-06-15)
BACKGROUND: Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality
in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate ...
Pulmonary hypertension and elevated transpulmonary gradient in patients with mitral stenosis.
(J Heart Valve Dis, 2010-11)
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Pulmonary hypertension frequently complicates mitral
stenosis, with a subset of these patients exhibiting pressures well in excess of their
mitral valve hemodynamics. The prevalence of this ...
Risk factors for and estimated incidence of community-associated Clostridium difficile infection, North Carolina, USA.
(Emerg Infect Dis, 2010-02)
We determined estimated incidence of and risk factors for community-associated Clostridium
difficile infection (CA-CDI) among patients treated at 6 North Carolina hospitals.
CA-CDI case-patients were defined as adults (>18 ...
Association of a peripheral blood metabolic profile with coronary artery disease and risk of subsequent cardiovascular events.
(Circ Cardiovasc Genet, 2010-04)
BACKGROUND: Molecular tools may provide insight into cardiovascular risk. We assessed
whether metabolites discriminate coronary artery disease (CAD) and predict risk of
cardiovascular events. METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed ...
Phobic anxiety and increased risk of mortality in coronary heart disease.
(Psychosom Med, 2010-09)
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate whether phobic anxiety is associated with increased risk of
cardiac mortality in individuals with established coronary heart disease (CHD) and
to examine the role of reduced heart rate variability ...
