Cardiovascular and pharmacological implications of haem-deficient NO-unresponsive soluble guanylate cyclase knock-in mice
(Springer Nature, 2015)Oxidative stress, a central mediator of cardiovascular disease, results in loss of the prosthetic haem group of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), preventing its activation by nitric oxide (NO). Here we introduce Apo-sGC ... -
Cardiovascular Event Prediction and Risk Reclassification by Coronary, Aortic, and Valvular Calcification in the Framingham Heart Study
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016)Background: We determined whether vascular and valvular calcification predicted incident major coronary heart disease, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all‐cause mortality independent of Framingham risk factors in the ... -

Cardiovascular Inflammation in Healthy Women: Multilevel Associations with State-Level Prosperity, Productivity and Income Inequality
(BioMed Central, 2012)Background: Cardiovascular inflammation is a key contributor to the development of atherosclerosis and the prediction of cardiovascular events among healthy women. An emerging literature suggests biomarkers of inflammation ... -
Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Scar Development Following Pulmonary Vein Isolation: A Prospective Study
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Aims Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (MR) provides non-invasive assessment of early (24-hour) edema and injury following pulmonary vein isolation (by ablation) and subsequent scar formation. We hypothesize that 24-hours ... -
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance parameters associated with early transplant-free survival in children with small left hearts following conversion from a univentricular to biventricular circulation
(BioMed Central, 2014)Background: We sought to identify cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) parameters associated with successful univentricular to biventricular conversion in patients with small left hearts. Methods: Patients with small ... -
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance techniques and findings in children with myocarditis: a multicenter retrospective study
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is increasingly used to diagnose myocarditis in adults but its use in children is not well-established. We sought to describe the presentation, CMR protocol and findings, ... -

Cardiovascular risk in patients with alopecia areata (AA): A propensity-matched retrospective analysis
(Elsevier BV, 2016)Background The cardiovascular risk of patients with alopecia areata (AA) is not well characterized, with limited studies evaluating the risk of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and ischemic stroke. Objective We sought ... -
Cardiovascular Risk Score, Cognitive Decline, and Dementia in Older Mexican Americans: The Role of Sex and Education
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2013)Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the associations of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk with cognitive decline and incidence of dementia and cognitive impairment but not dementia (CIND) and the role of ... -
Cardiovascular-renal complications and the possible role of plasminogen activator inhibitor: a review
(Oxford University Press, 2016)Since angiotensin increases the expression of plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI), mechanisms associated with an actively functioning renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system can be expected to be associated with increased ... -
Care coordination between specialty care and primary care: a focus group study of provider perspectives on strong practices and improvement opportunities
(Dove Medical Press, 2015)Care coordination between the specialty care provider (SCP) and the primary care provider (PCP) is a critical component of safe, efficient, and patient-centered care. Veterans Health Administration conducted a series of ... -
Care coordination gaps due to lack of interoperability in the United States: a qualitative study and literature review
(BioMed Central, 2016)Background: Health information technology (HIT) could improve care coordination by providing clinicians remote access to information, improving legibility, and allowing asynchronous communication, among other mechanisms. ... -
Care Setting Intensity and Outcomes After Emergency Department Presentation Among Patients With Acute Heart Failure
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2016)Background: Patients with heart failure (HF) presenting to the emergency department (ED) can be admitted to care settings of different intensity, where the intensive care unit (ICU) is the highest intensity, ward admission ... -

Career on the Move: Geography, Stratification, and Scientific Impact
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)Changing institutions is an integral part of an academic life. Yet little is known about the mobility patterns of scientists at an institutional level and how these career choices affect scientific outcomes. Here, we examine ... -
Caregiver Burden in Epilepsy: Determinants and Impact
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2014)Aim. Caregiver burden (CB) in epilepsy constitutes an understudied area. Here we attempt to identify the magnitude of this burden, the factors associated with it, and its impact to caregiver quality of life (QOL). Methods:. ...
