Conclusions: These findings suggest that microvascular disease processes may have a role in CHD development in middle-aged people, particularly in women. Retinal photography may be useful in cardiovascular risk prediction.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:37:23 AEST ]]> Genetic and lifestyle risk factors for MRI-defined brain infarcts in a population-based setting https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38111 [BI] = 9.38 × 10-25; p[SSBI] = 5.23 × 10-14 for hypertension), smoking (p[BI]= 4.4 × 10-10; p[SSBI] = 1.2 × 10-4), diabetes (p[BI] = 1.7 × 10 -8; p[SSBI] = 2.8 × 10-3), previous cardiovascular disease (p[BI] = 1.0 × 10-18; p[SSBI] = 2.3 × 10-7), stroke (p[BI] = 3.9 × 10-69; p[SSBI] = 3.2 × 10-24), and MRI-defined white matter hyperintensity burden (p[BI]=1.43 × 10-157; p[SSBI] = 3.16 × 10-106), but not with body mass index or cholesterol. GRS of BP traits were associated with BI and SSBI (p = 0.0022), without indication of directional pleiotropy. Conclusion: In this multiethnic GWAS meta-analysis, including over 20,000 population-based participants, we identified genetic risk loci for BI requiring validation once additional large datasets become available. High BP, including genetically determined, was the most significant modifiable, causal risk factor for BI.]]> Wed 04 Aug 2021 10:54:18 AEST ]]> Retinal microvascular signs and risk of stroke and stroke mortality https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:492 Thu 25 Jul 2013 09:09:56 AEST ]]>
