..We tested the hypothesis that individuals who respond to mild mental stress in preparation for exercise test with the largest heart rate increases might be at highest risk...

..19, and 95% confidence interval 1.04 to 1.37, p<0.012). In conclusion, change in HR at rest over 5 years was an independent predictor of mortality in middle-aged men...

..We sought to address the respective association between carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in plaque-free sites and plaques with coronary heart disease (CHD) and their usefulness for CHD risk prediction in the Three-City Study...

..To prospectively assess the association between disability and incident fatal and nonfatal coronary heart disease (CHD) in older adults free of cardiovascular disease (CVD)...

..We hypothesized that adding morphological features to diagnostic criteria might have significant consequences in terms of case detection rates...

..We thus systematically examined the predictive value of heart-rate variables on the subsequent risk of death from cancer...

..This unique study should provide new insights into the regulation of heart rate and blood pressure and should enable to identify novel heart rate parameters that are associated with sudden death...

..To assess the association between systemic C-reactive protein (CRP) and incident coronary heart disease (CHD) in community-dwelling elderly people...

..Although such data are available for young competitive athletes, the prevalence, characteristics, and outcome of sports-related sudden death have not been assessed previously in the general population...

..79⊟2.49) and women (hazard ratio 1.58, 95% CI 1.16⊟2.15). Conclusion: In this large population-based study of 226,288 middle-aged participants, heart rate declined over 16 years independently of traditional CV risk factors...

..However, rheumatic heart disease remains a major health problem in developing countries. Recently, echocardiography identified children with mild features of the disease, thereby allowing early treatment...

..Short-term exposure to high levels of air pollution may trigger myocardial infarction (MI), but this association remains unclear...

..We therefore assessed the prognostic value of hypothermia for neurological outcome at hospital discharge according to first-recorded cardiac rhythm in a large cohort...

..To examine prospectively the association of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, interleukin 6, and fibrinogen with sudden death in asymptomatic European men...

..To address the association between the 2003 heat wave in Paris (France) and the occurrence of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest...

..Using data from the Parisian Region Out of hospital Cardiac ArresT prospective registry, we performed an analysis to assess the effect of an invasive strategy on hospital survival...

..We therefore estimated the risk of mortality for excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in community-dwelling elderly participating in the Three City Study...

..In this setting, active surveillance with echocardiography-based screening might become very important...

..Future research should further clarify the mechanisms through which socioeconomic disadvantage influences resting heart rate, as a pathway to social disparities in cardiovascular morbidity/mortality...

..To compare the risk of sudden death and non-sudden death from myocardial infarction associated with the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in asymptomatic men...

..Furthermore, contradictory data exist concerning the risk of death according to AF timing. This article, a systematic review and first meta-analysis, aims to quantify the mortality risk associated with AF in MI patients and its timing...

..The aim of our study was to evaluate the efficacy of vasodilators in the prevention of radial artery spasm during percutaneous coronary interventions...

..The aim of this study was to determine correlations between early statin therapy and atrial fibrillation in acute myocardial infarction...

..In this study, we extend our research on the contribution of psychosocial characteristics to SCA, by examining the association between marital status and out-of-hospital SCA...

..This will have an impact on the future conditions of athlete training and on the organization of competitions. It may also alter the Olympic motto and spirit...

..We hypothesized that echocardiographic screening of all surveyed children would show a significantly higher prevalence of rheumatic heart disease...

..The prevalence of diabetes mellitus in industrialized countries is rapidly increasing, and diabetes is suspected to carry a particular high risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD)...
