    • Air Pollution and ST-Segment Depression in Elderly Subjects 

      MacCallum, Gail; Canner, Marina J.; Gold, Diane R.; Litonjua, Augusto Ampil; Zanobetti, Antonella; Coull, Brent Andrew; Schwartz, Joel David; Verrier, Richard Leonard; Nearing, Bruce David; Suh MacIntosh, Helen H.; Stone, Peter Howard (National Institue of Environmental Health Sciences, 2005)
      Increased levels of daily ambient particle pollution have been associated with increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity. Black carbon (BC) is a measure of the traffic-related component of particles. We investigated ...

    • Atrial Septum Fat Deposition and Atrial Anatomy Assessed by Cardiac Magnetic Resonance: Relationship to Atrial Electrophysiology 

      Rizzi, Patricia B; Mewton, Nathan; Tereshchencko, Larisa G; Strauss, David G; Liu, Chia-Ying; Marchlinski, Francis E; Spooner, Peter M; Kellman, Peter; Lima, Joao A; Verrier, Richard Leonard; Cox, Christopher; Nearing, Bruce David (BioMed Central, 2012)
      To assess the prevalence of fat deposition in the atrial septum with and its relationship with 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) atrial parameters (PR interval, P wave duration) and the presence of atrial fibrillation.

    • Concentrated Ambient Particles Alter Myocardial Blood Flow During Acute Ischemia in Conscious Canines 

      Bartoli, Carlo R.; Wellenius, Gregory A.; Coull, Brent Andrew; Akiyama, Ichiro; Diaz, Edgar; Lawrence, Joy E.; Okabe, Kazunori; Verrier, Richard Leonard; Godleski, John Joseph (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2008)
      Background: Experimental and observational studies have demonstrated that short-term exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) exacerbates myocardial ischemia. Objectives: We conducted this study to investigate the effects ...

    • Mechanisms of Inhaled Fine Particulate Air Pollution–induced Arterial Blood Pressure Changes 

      Bartoli, Carlo R.; Wellenius, Gregory A.; Diaz, Edgar; Lawrence, Joy E.; Coull, Brent Andrew; Akiyama, Ichiro; Lee, Lani M.; Okabe, Kazunori; Verrier, Richard Leonard; Godleski, John Joseph (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 2008)
      Background: Epidemiologic studies suggest a positive association between fine particulate matter and arterial blood pressure, but the results have been inconsistent. Objectives: We investigated the effect of ambient particles ...

    • Mechanisms of ranolazine's dual protection against atrial and ventricular fibrillation 

      Verrier, Richard L.; Kumar, Kapil; Nieminen, Tuomo; Belardinelli, Luiz (Oxford University Press, 2012)
      Coronary artery disease and heart failure carry concurrent risk for atrial fibrillation and life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. We review evidence indicating that at therapeutic concentrations, ranolazine has potential ...
