Rationale, design, and baseline characteristics of a trial of prevention of cardiovascular and renal disease with fosinopril and pravastatin in nonhypertensive, nonhypercholesterolemic subjects with microalbuminuria (the Prevention of REnal and Vascular EG F Diercks
Department of Clinical Pharmacology, University of Groningen, The Netherlands
Am J Cardiol 86:635-8. 2000....
The importance of microalbuminuria as a cardiovascular risk indicator: A reviewG F H Diercks
Department of Clinical Pharmacology, University of Groningen, A Deusinglaan, 19713 AV Groningen, The Netherlands
Can J Cardiol 18:525-35. 2002..In this respect, the loss of the glycosaminoglycan heparin sulphate might be an important pathophysiological mechanism. This hypothesis needs further clarification, especially in nondiabetic populations...
Urinary albumin excretion is related to cardiovascular risk indicators, not to flow-mediated vasodilation, in apparently healthy subjectsGilles F H Diercks
Department of Clinical Pharmacology, University of Groningen, A Deusinglaan 1, 9713 AV Groningen, The Netherlands
Atherosclerosis 163:121-6. 2002..These data suggest that the presence of atherogenic risk factors precedes the development of endothelial dysfunction in microalbuminuric, but otherwise healthy subjects...
Microalbuminuria modifies the mortality risk associated with electrocardiographic ST-T segment changesGilles F H Diercks
Department of Clinical Pharmacology, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands
J Am Coll Cardiol 40:1401. 2002..We sought to investigate whether microalbuminuria, a proposed marker of generalized vascular damage, enhances the prognostic value of ST-T segment changes for all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the general population...
Microalbuminuria is common, also in a nondiabetic, nonhypertensive population, and an independent indicator of cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular morbidityH L Hillege
Department of Clinical Pharmacology, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands
J Intern Med 249:519-26. 2001..These findings suggest that urinary albumin measurements may be useful in early risk profiling and prevention of cardiovascular disease in the population at large...

Department of Clinical Pharmacology, University of Groningen, Antonius Deusinglaan 1, 9713 AV Groningen, The Netherlands
Am J Cardiol 91:1358-60. 2003
Urinary albumin excretion predicts cardiovascular and noncardiovascular mortality in general populationHans L Hillege
Trial Coordination Center, Department of Cardiology, University Hospital of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands
Circulation 106:1777-82. 2002..The excess risk was more attributable to death from CV causes, independent of the effects of other CV risk factors, and the relationship was already apparent at levels of albuminuria currently considered to be normal...
Difference in the relation between urinary albumin excretion and carotid intima-media thickness in nondiabetic and type 2 diabetic subjectsGilles F H Diercks
Diabetes Care 25:936-7. 2002
Effects of fosinopril and pravastatin on cardiovascular events in subjects with microalbuminuriaFolkert W Asselbergs
Department of Clinical Pharmacology, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands
Circulation 110:2809-16. 2004..In addition, fosinopril treatment was associated with a trend in reducing cardiovascular events. Treatment with pravastatin did not result in a significant reduction in urinary albumin excretion or cardiovascular events...
C-reactive protein and microalbuminuria are associated with atrial fibrillationFolkert W Asselbergs
Department of Clinical Pharmacology, University of Groningen, Groningen, The Netherlands
Int J Cardiol 98:73-7. 2005..We hypothesized that microalbuminuria and C-reactive protein (CRP), a marker of generalized vascular damage and inflammation, respectively, are associated with AF...
