October 2016
Department of Epidemiology, University of Alabama at Birmingham, 1700 University Boulevard, LHL 450, Birmingham, AL, 35294, USA.
Purpose: To compare characteristics of patients with possible statin intolerance identified using different claims-based algorithms versus patients with high adherence to statins.
Methods: We analyzed 134,863 Medicare beneficiaries initiating statins between 2007 and 2011. Statin intolerance and discontinuation, and high adherence to statins, defined by proportion of days covered ≥80 %, were assessed during the 365 days following statin initiation.
The association of reduced lung function with blood pressure variability in African Americans: data from the Jackson Heart Study.
BMC Cardiovasc Disord
January 2016
University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA.
Background: African Americans (AAs) have lower lung function, higher blood pressure variability (BPV) and increased risk for hypertension and cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared with whites. The mechanism through which reduced lung-function is associated with increased CVD risk is unclear.
Methods: We evaluated the association between percent predicted lung-function and 24-hour BPV in 1008 AAs enrolled in the Jackson Heart Study who underwent ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring.
