Background and Purpose— Ischemic stroke (IS) and coronary artery disease (CAD) share
several risk factors and each has a substantial heritability. We conducted a genome-wide …

Statins are widely used lipid‐lowering drugs that are effective in reducing cardiovascular
disease risk. Although they are generally well tolerated, they can cause muscle toxicity, which …

Statins have pleiotropic properties that complement their cholesterol-lowering effects. These
properties may partly account for their established benefit in the prevention of coronary …

Plasma concentrations of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density
lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides are among the most important risk factors for …

We performed a meta-analysis of 14 genome-wide association studies of coronary artery
disease (CAD) comprising 22,233 individuals with CAD (cases) and 64,762 controls of …

Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the commonest cause of death. Here, we report an
association analysis in 63,746 CAD cases and 130,681 controls identifying 15 loci reaching …

Aims The aim was to study the prognostic value of plasma ceramides (Cer) as cardiovascular
death (CV death) markers in three independent coronary artery disease (CAD) cohorts. …

Asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous nitric oxide synthase inhibitor, which
has been suggested to be a novel independent risk factor for endothelial dysfunction and …
