Welch Center for Prevention, Epidemiology, and Clinical Research, Department of Epidemiology Johns Hopkins University Baltimore MD.
Article Synopsis
- * Participants with lower income and education levels faced significantly higher mortality and readmission rates, indicating that SES impacts health outcomes in HF patients.
- * The study underscores the need for targeted secondary prevention strategies focused on individuals with low SES to enhance treatment effectiveness and patient outcomes in heart failure.
Central Arterial Stiffness Is Associated With Structural Brain Damage and Poorer Cognitive Performance: The ARIC Study.
J Am Heart Assoc
January 2019
Background Central arterial stiffening and increased pulsatility, with consequent cerebral hypoperfusion, may result in structural brain damage and cognitive impairment. Methods and Results We analyzed a cross-sectional sample of ARIC - NCS (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities-Neurocognitive Study) participants (aged 67-90 years, 60% women) with measures of cognition (n=3703) and brain magnetic resonance imaging (n=1255). Central arterial hemodynamics were assessed as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and pressure pulsatility (central pulse pressure).

We hypothesized that in- and outpatient infections are associated with CVD risk and that the association is stronger for inpatient infections. Methods and Results Coronary heart disease (CHD) and ischemic stroke cases were identified and adjudicated in the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study).
