Journal ArticleDOI
Lipid disorders: justification of methods and goals of treatment.
Joel B. Braunstein,Alan Cheng,Gregory Cohn,Monica Aggarwal,Caitlin M. Nass,Roger S. Blumenthal +5 more
TL;DR: This review considers the challenges and available strategies to optimize lipid management in patients at risk for CHD and considers the strong clinical evidence and widely publicized treatment guidelines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Usefulness of Coronary Artery Calcium to Predict Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction in Men Versus Women (from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis)
Kavita Sharma,Mahmoud Al Rifai,Haitham M. Ahmed,Zeina Dardari,Michael G. Silverman,Joseph Yeboah,Khurram Nasir,Moyses Sklo,Clyde W. Yancy,Stuart D. Russell,Roger S. Blumenthal,Michael J. Blaha +11 more
TL;DR: Measurement of CAC, a marker of coronary atherosclerosis, may stratify risk of HFpEF beyond traditional risk factors for women, and further investigation is needed to better understand potential gender differences in pathophysiology and presentation ofHFpEF.
Journal ArticleDOI
A graphical method for assessing risk factor threshold values using the generalized additive model: the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis
Claude Messan Setodji,Maren T. Scheuner,James S. Pankow,Roger S. Blumenthal,Haiying Chen,Emmett B. Keeler +5 more
TL;DR: This paper suggests the use of a semi-parametric method and visualization for improvement of the threshold selection in variable dichotomization while accounting for mixture distributions in the outcome of interest and adjusting for covariates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differences in coronary plaque composition with aging measured by coronary computed tomography angiography.
Rajesh Tota-Maharaj,Michael J. Blaha,Juan J. Rivera,Juan J. Rivera,Travis S. Henry,Eue Keun Choi,Sung A. Chang,Yeonyee E. Yoon,Eun Ju Chun,Sang Il Choi,Roger S. Blumenthal,Hyuk Jae Chang,Khurram Nasir,Khurram Nasir +13 more
TL;DR: CCTA is an effective method for measuring age-related differences in the burden of individual coronary plaque subtypes and future research is needed to determine whether the increase in mixed and calcified plaques seen with aging produce an independent contribution to the age- related increase in cardiovascular risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Is Associated With Arterial Distensibility and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness: (from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis).
Ebenezer T Oni,Matthew J. Budoff,Irfan Zeb,Dong Li,Emir Veledar,Joseph F. Polak,Ron Blankstein,Nathan D. Wong,Michael J. Blaha,Arthur S. Agatston,Roger S. Blumenthal,Khurram Nasir +11 more
TL;DR: NAFLD is modestly associated with carotid IMT and coronary artery calcification in a multiethnic population, and patients with NAFLD had higher distensibility coefficient and higher CIMT.
