This article describes concepts, methods and procedures to assist in the design of animal and tissue/cell based studies of sex differences in cardiovascular structure, function and models of disease.
The CIRCS is a population-based study of cardiovascular risk factors, disease incidence and their respective trends in Japanese communities (Appendix 1).
The present serum repository was harvested in the framework of a population-based study of cardiovascular risk factors: as such, our study has several limitations.
The availability of a database for a large population-based study of cardiovascular disease, Improving Cardiovascular Outcomes in Nova Scotia (ICONS) [ 6], gave us the opportunity to elicit this information.
We examined in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), a prospective population-based study of cardiovascular disease (CVD), whether CAC and CIMT add predictive value for CVD events in MetS and diabetes and if there is a role for these tests in risk stratification of these populations.
We decided to use data from a big population based study (The HUNT3 Survey) for the comparison of the prevalence of cardiovascular disease.
