Abstract

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States. In comparison to whites, African-Americans have a higher risk of dying from CVD and have a worse risk factor profile. The Jackson Heart Study (JHS) is designed to investigate the origin and natural history of CVD in African-Americans. Reading centers for electrocardiograms, echocardiograms, carotid ultrasonograms, pulmonary function tests, and ambulatory blood pressure monitoring provide training for data accrual, quality assurance assessments, and specialized measurements for research objectives. Laboratories adhering to well-established quality assurance programs provide blood and urine analyses, as well as storage of specimens for future assays. A new Coordinating Center was created to perform functions analogous to those of coordinating centers for multisite studies, including protocol development, data management, statistical analyses, and operational support for the study. An established coordinating center serves as a resource to the JHS Coordinating Center, providing assistance in preparing procedure manuals and data collection forms. This group also designed and developed the JHS data management system. This network of specialized research...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
