Relation of Cardiovascular Risk Factors to Mortality and Cardiovascular Events in Hospitalized Patients with Coronavirus Disease 2019 (From the Yale COVID-19 Cardiovascular Registry)
Individuals with established cardiovascular disease or a high burden of cardiovascular risk factors may be particularly vulnerable to develop complications from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We conducted a prospective cohort study at a tertiary care center to identify risk factors for in-hospital mortality and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE; a composite of myocardial infarction, stroke, new acute decompensated heart failure, venous thromboembolism, ventricular or atrial arrhythmia, pericardial effusion, or aborted cardiac arrest) among consecutively hospitalized adults with COVID-19, using multivariable b...

Relation of Carotid Intima-Media Thickness to Cardiovascular Events in Black Americans (From the Jackson Heart Study)
Although several prospective studies have reported independent relationships between carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and risk of incident cardiovascular diseases (CVD) among primarily non-African American (AA) cohorts, the utility of CIMT values for the prediction of incident coronary heart disease and stroke events in blacks remain unclear. At the baseline examination (2000 –2004) of the Jackson Heart Study (JHS), AA adults 21-94 years of age (mean 54) underwent bilateral far-wall CIMT measurement (mean 0.76 mm).
