description: Background--Reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and elevated urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) individually increase risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We hypothesized that these associations are stronger among people with abnormal (both low and high) hemoglobin levels. Methods and Results--Using 5801 participants with available hemoglobin measures of the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk in Community) study in 1996-1998, we explored the cross-sectional association of eGFR and ACR with hemoglobin levels and their longitudinal associations with CVD (heart failure, coronary heart disease, and stroke) risk through 2013. At baseline, 8.8% had anemia ( < 13 g/dL in men and < 12 g/dL in women) and 7.2% had high hemoglobin (≥16 g/dL in men and ≥15 g/dL in women). The adjusted prevalence ratio of anemia was 2.12 (95% confidence interval, 1.59-2.82) for eGFR 30 to 59 compared with ≥90 mL/ min per 1.73 m 2 and 1.45 (1.07-1.95) for ACR ≥30 compared with < 10 mg/g. ACR ≥30 mg/g was also associated with high hemoglobin (prevalence ratio, 1.57 [1.12-2.19] compared with < 10 mg/g). During follow-up, there were 1069 incident CVDs among 5098 CVD-free participants at baseline. In multivariable Cox models, lower eGFR, higher ACR, and anemia were each independently associated with CVD risk, with the association of low eGFR being slightly stronger in anemia (P-for-interaction, 0.072). There was no hemoglobin-ACR interaction; however, when CVD subtypes were analyzed separately, risk of coronary heart disease and stroke associated with high ACR was slightly stronger in high hemoglobin (P-for-interaction, 0.074). Conclusions--Kidney function, albuminuria, and anemia were correlated and independently associated with CVD risk. Correlation and potential interaction for atherosclerotic CVD between albuminuria and high hemoglobin deserve further investigation.

description: A new mechanism is proposed to explain the colossal magnetoresistance and related phenomena. Moving electrons accompanied by Jahn-Teller phonon and spin-wave clouds may form composite polarons in ferromagnetic narrow-band manganites. The ground-state and finite-temperature properties of such composite polarons are studied in the present paper. By using a variational method, it is shown that the energy of the system at zero temperature decreases with the formation of composite polaron; the energy spectrum and effective mass of the composite polaron at finite temperature is found to be strongly renormalized by the temperature and the magnetic field. It is suggested that the composite polaron contribute significantly to the transport and the thermodynamic properties in ferromagnetic narrow-band metallic manganese oxides.

description: Excerpts from the report: This study was begun in the fall of 1959 at the request of a committee appointed by the Governor of Rhode Island, and in cooperation with the Rhode Island Department of Agriculture and Conservation, the Providence City Plan Commission, and the Rhode Island Development Council. These agencies requested assistance from the U. S. Department of Agriculture to plan new and improved wholesale food handling facilities to replace existing facilities which, it was expected, might he displaced by new highways and by urban renewal. This study of facilities for handling the major food commodities at wholesale in Providence is part of a broad program of research to aid in reducing costs of marketing farm products. It had the following objectives: 1. To analyze the existing wholesale food marketing situation in Providence and Rhode Island and to ascertain the adequacy of the facilities in the light of present and future needs. 2. To determine those facilities that would best suit present and future needs. 3. To estimate--should facility improvements be recommended--costs of facility improvements or construction, possible operating expenses, and the self-liquidating potential. 4. To estimate probable cost reductions and benefits from any suggested improvements.

description: Network navigability is a key feature of complex networked systems. For a network embedded in a geometrical space, maximization of greedy routing (GR) measures based on the node geometrical coordinates can ensure efficient greedy navigability. In PNAS, Seguin et al. (PNAS 2018, vol. 115, no. 24) define a measure for quantifying the efficiency of brain network navigability in the Euclidean space, referred to as the efficiency ratio, whose formula exactly coincides with the GR-score (GR-efficiency) previously published by Muscoloni et al. (Nature Communications 2017, vol. 8, no. 1615). In this Letter, we point out potential flaws in the study of Seguin et al. regarding the discussion of the GR evaluation. In particular, we revise the concept of GR navigability, together with a careful discussion of the advantage offered by the new proposed GR-efficiency measure in comparison to the main measures previously adopted in literature. Finally, we clarify and standardize the GR-efficiency terminology in order to simplify and facilitate the discussion in future studies.

description: Temperature and polarization dependent electronic structure of La1/2Sr3/2MnO4 were investigated by optical conductivity analyses. With decreasing temperature, for E//ab, a broad mid-infrared (MIR) peak of La1/2Sr3/2MnO4 becomes narrower and moves to the higher frequency, while that of Nd1/2Sr3/2MnO4 nearly temperature independent. We showed that the MIR peak in La1/2Sr3/2MnO4 originates from orbital ordering associated with CE-type magnetic ordering and that the Jahn-Teller distortion has a significant influence on the width and the position of the MIR peak.

description: We are concerned with a model of ideal compressible isentropic two-fluid magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). Introducing an entropy-like function, we reduce the equations of two-fluid MHD to a symmetric form which looks like the classical MHD system written in the nonconservative form in terms of the pressure, the velocity, the magnetic field and the entropy. This gives a number of instant results. In particular, we conclude that all compressive extreme shock waves exist locally in time in the limit of weak magnetic field. We write down a condition sufficient for the local-in-time existence of current-vortex sheets in two-fluid flows. For the 2D case and a particular equation of state, we make the conclusion that contact discontinuities in two-fluid MHD flows exist locally in time provided that the Rayleigh-Taylor sign condition on the jump of the normal derivative of the pressure is satisfied at the first moment.

description: We report on a detailed examination of numerical results and analytical calculations devoted to a study of two holes doped into a two-dimensional, square lattice described by the t-J model. Our exact diagonalization numerical results represent the first solution of the exact ground state of 2 holes in a 32-site lattice. Using this wave function, we have calculated several important correlation functions, notably the electron momentum distribution function and the hole-hole spatial correlation function. Further, by studying similar quantities on smaller lattices, we have managed to perform a finite-size scaling analysis. We have augmented this work by endeavouring to compare these results to the predictions of analytical work for two holes moving in an infinite lattice. This analysis relies on the canonical transformation approach formulated recently for the t-J model. From this comparison we find excellent correspondence between our numerical data and our analytical calculations. We believe that this agreement is an important step helping to justify the quasiparticle Hamiltonian, and in particular, the quasiparticle interactions, that result from the canonical transformation approach. Also, the analytical work allows us to critique the finite-size scaling ansatzes used in our analysis of the numerical data. One important feature that we can infer from this successful comparison involves the role of higher harmonics in the two-particle, d-wave symmetry bound state -- the conventional (\cos(k_x) - \cos(k_y)) term is only one of many important contributions to the d-wave symmetry pair wave function.

description: We present a metric-independent, diffeomorphism-invariant model with interacting fermions that contains a massless composite graviton in its spectrum. The model is motivated by the supersymmetric D-brane action, modulated by a fermion potential. The gravitational coupling is related to new physics at the cutoff scale that regularizes UV divergences. We also speculate on possible extensions of the model.

description: The logarithmic law of mean temperature profile has been observed in different regions in Rayleigh-Bénard turbulence. However, how thermal plumes correlate to the log law of temperature and how the velocity profile changes with pressure gradient are not fully understood. Here, we performed three-dimensional simulations of Rayleigh-Bénard turbulence in a slim-box without the front and back walls with aspect ratio, $L:D:H=1:1/6:1$, in the Rayleigh number $Ra=[1\times10^8, 1\times10^{10}]$ for Prandtl number $Pr=0.7$. The velocity profile is successfully quantified by a two-layer function of a stress length, $\ell_u^+\approx \ell_0^+(z^+)^{3/2}\left[1+\left({z^+}/{z_{sub}^+}\right)^4\right]^{1/4}$, as proposed by She et al. (She 2017), though neither a Prandtl-Blasius-Pohlhausen type nor the log-law is seen in the viscous boundary layer. In contrast, the temperature profile in the plume-ejecting region is logarithmic for all simulated cases, being attributed to the emission of thermal plumes. The coefficient of the temperature log-law, $A$ can be described by composition of the thermal stress length $\ell^*_θ$ and the thicknesses of thermal boundary layer $z^*_{sub}$ and $z^*_{buf}$, i.e. $A\simeq z^*_{sub}/\left(\ell^*_{θ0}{z^*_{buf}}^{3/2}\right)$. The adverse pressure gradient responsible for turning the wind direction contributes to thermal plumes gathering at the ejecting region and thus the log-law of temperature profile. The Nusselt number scaling and local heat flux of the present simulations are consistent with previous results in confined cells. Therefore, the slim-box RBC is a preferable system for investigating in-box kinetic and thermal structures of turbulent convection with the large-scale circulation on a fixed plane.

description: We test models of starburst driven outflows using observations of the 22.2 GHz H$_2$O and 36.2 GHz class I CH$_3$OH maser lines. We have observed the starburst galaxy NGC 253 using the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array. We present evidence for entrainment of star-forming dense-molecular gas in the outflow of NGC 253. We also show that H$_2$O masers are associated with forming super star clusters and not with supernova remnants. We detect four new 36 GHz CH$_3$OH masers in the central kpc and show possible evidence for a star-formation origin of two class I CH$_3$OH masers. Such high resolution observations are essential for understanding the origin of these masers.

description: Background: The purpose of this study was to characterize the repeatability of ectopic beats, defined by premature atrial contractions (PACs) and premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), on ambulatory electrocardiogram (aECG) monitoring and evaluate the effect of length of aECG monitoring on the repeatability estimates. Methods: This analysis includes 95 randomly selected participants from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study (ARIC; 2011–2013). The participants wore a Holter monitor for two, 48-hr periods separated by a mean of 38 days following an identical, standardized protocol. We divided each 48-hr recording into 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-hr recording periods and calculated intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for PACs and PVCs and also as a percentage of the corresponding total of recorded beats per hour among these periods. Results: All participants had ≥1 PAC during the 48-hr recordings, and only two participants had no PVCs. ICCs were >0.83 for all indices and recording lengths ≥12 hrs. ICCs were intermediate for 6-hr recordings (range 0.80–0.83) and lower for 3-hr recordings (range 0.74–0.80). The ratio of the between- to within-participant variation increased with recording length. Conclusion: Repeatability of PACs and PVCs was excellent for recording lengths of 6–24 hr and fair for 3 hr. Repeatability varies over shorter duration recordings within the 48-hr recording period, and thus the present results have implications for detection algorithms for ectopic beats and can facilitate epidemiologic and clinical applications in which knowledge of measurement variability and misclassification are needed.

description: Background Prolongation of the QT interval has been associated with an increased risk of developing atrial fibrillation (AF), but the responsible mechanism remains unknown. Objectives The aims of this study were to subdivide the QT interval into its components and identify the resultant electrocardiographic interval(s) responsible for the association with AF. Methods Predefined QT-interval components were assessed for association with incident AF in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study using Cox proportional hazards models. Hazard ratios (HRs) were calculated per 1-SD increase in each component. Among QT-interval components exhibiting significant associations, additional analyses evaluating long extremes, defined as greater than the 95th percentile, were performed. Results Of the 14,625 individuals, 1505 (10.3%) were diagnosed with incident AF during a mean follow-up period of 17.6 years. After multivariable adjustment, QT-interval components involved in repolarization, but not depolarization, exhibited significant associations with incident AF, including a longer ST segment (HR 1.27; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.14–1.41; P <.001) and a prolonged T-wave onset to T-wave peak (T-onset to T-peak) (HR 1.13; 95% CI 1.07–1.20; P <.001). Marked prolongation of the ST segment (HR 1.31; 95% CI 1.04–1.64; P =.022) and T-onset to T-peak (HR 1.36; 95% CI 1.09–1.69; P =.006) was also associated with an increased risk of incident AF. Conclusion The association between a prolonged QT interval and incident AF is primarily explained by components involved in ventricular repolarization: prolongation of the ST segment and T-onset to T-peak. These observations suggest that prolongation of phases 2 and 3 of the cardiac action potential drives the association between the QT interval and AF risk.
TEACHER PROFESSIONAL ETHICS FOR SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

description: Teaching is often considered to be the noblest profession among all professions. The definition and parameter of professional ethics varies from society to society and from time to time. With change in social setup, pattern and dimension of society the ethics also change. Without high standards of Professional ethics teaching could never be regarded as full-fledged profession. Code of Professional Ethics for school teachers is an attempt to provide direction and guidance to the teachers in enhancing the dignity of their professional work. The Code of Professional Ethics for teachers provides a framework Present scenario of teaching profession is now at very low ebb. Some of the teachers are found to indulge in all sorts of malpractices and self-centered. Values have fallen and they are trampled under the brutal boots of the reckless teaching community. Professional ethics lie not in laws and government but in the honesty and moral responsibility of the teacher. Teachers should create a peaceful climate in educational institutions; they can play a pivotal role in removing social, caste, communal, religious and barriers that threaten the very existence of the nation. The educator recognizes the magnitude of the responsibility inherent in the teaching process. The desire for the respect and confidence of one's colleagues, of students, of parents, and of the members of the community provides the incentive to attain and maintain the highest possible degree of ethical conduct. The Code of Ethics of the Education Profession indicates the aspiration of all educators and provides standards by which to judge conduct. The educator, believing in the worth and dignity of each human being, recognizes the supreme importance of the pursuit of truth, devotion to excellence, and the nurture of democratic principles. Essential to these goals is the protection of freedom to learn and to teach and the guarantee of equal educational opportunity for all.

description: Background Ceruloplasmin (CP) may promote structural changes in the atrium making it more arrhythmogenic. We assessed the associations between CP, CP-associated genetic variants, and incident atrial fibrillation (AF) in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study. Methods and results We studied 10,059 men and women without prevalent AF aged 53 to 75 years in 1996–1998 and followed through 2012. Circulating CP was measured in stored blood samples obtained in 1996–1998. Polymorphisms rs11708215 and rs13072552, previously associated with CP concentrations, were measured in 10,059 and 8829 participants respectively. AF was ascertained from study electrocardiograms, hospital discharge codes, and death certificates. Multivariable Cox models were run to study the association between circulating CP, CP-associated polymorphisms, and the incidence of AF. Over 10.5 years of mean follow-up, 1357 cases of AF were identified. After adjusting for traditional risk factors and biomarkers, higher levels of circulating CP were associated with incident AF (hazard ratio [HR] 1.33, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.11, 1.61 comparing top to bottom quartiles). Both rs11708215 and rs13072552 were significantly associated with CP levels. Presence of the CP-increasing alleles in rs11708215 and rs13072552, however, were significantly associated with lower risk of AF in whites (HR 0.84, 95%CI 0.76, 0.94, p = 0.002 and HR 0.83; 95%CI 0.69, 0.99, p = 0.043 respectively per CP-increasing allele in the final adjusted model) but not in African Americans. Conclusions Even though higher CP concentrations were associated with increased AF risk, genetic variants associated with higher CP decreased the risk of AF in whites. Our results suggest that circulating CP levels may not be causally related to risk of incident AF.

description: Background Levels of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), a prognostic marker in patients with heart failure (HF), are lower among HF patients with obesity or preserved Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction (LVEF). We examined the distribution and prognostic value of BNP across BMI categories in acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) patients with preserved vs. reduced LVEF. Methods We analyzed data from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) HF surveillance study which sampled and adjudicated ADHF hospitalizations in patients aged ≥ 55 years from 4 US communities (2005–2009). We examined 5 BMI categories: underweight (< 18.5 kg/m2), normal weight (18.5–<25), overweight (25–<30), obese (30–<40) and morbidly obese (≥ 40) in HF with preserved LVEF (HFpEF) and reduced LVEF (HFrEF). The outcome was 1-year mortality from admission. We used ANCOVA to model log BNP and logistic regression for 1-year mortality, both adjusted for demographics and clinical characteristics. Results The cohort included 9820 weighted ADHF hospitalizations (58% HFrEF; 42% HFpEF). BNP levels were lower in HFpEF compared to HFrEF (p < 0.001) and decreased as BMI increased within the LVEF groups (p < 0.001). After adjustment for covariates, log10 BNP independently predicted 1-year mortality (adjusted OR 1.62 (95% CI 1.17–2.24)) with no significant interaction by BMI or LVEF groups. Conclusions BNP levels correlated inversely with BMI, and were higher in HFrEF compared to HFpEF. Obese patients with HFpEF and ADHF had a significant proportion with BNP levels below clinically accepted thresholds. Nevertheless, BNP was a predictor of mortality in ADHF across groups of BMI in HFpEF and HFrEF.

description: We investigate an optically driven quantum computer based on electric dipole transitions within coupled single-electron quantum dots. Our quantum register consists of a freestanding n-type pillar containing a series of pair wise coupled asymmetric quantum dots, each with a slightly different energy structure, and with grounding leads at the top and bottom of the pillar. Asymmetric quantum wells confine electrons along the pillar axis and a negatively biased gate wrapped around the center of the pillar allows for electrostatic confinement in the radial direction. We self-consistently solve coupled Schrodinger and Poisson equations and develop a design for a three-qubit quantum register. Our results indicate that a single gate electrode can be used to localize a single electron in each of the quantum dots. Adjacent dots are strongly coupled by electric dipole-dipole interactions arising from the dot asymmetry, thus enabling rapid computation rates. The dots are tailored to minimize dephasing due to spontaneous emission and phonon scattering and to maximize the number of computation cycles. The design is scalable to a large number of qubits.

description: We develop an extension of the basic inverse seesaw model which addresses simultaneously two of its drawbacks, namely, the lack of explanation of the tiny Majorana mass term $μ$ for the TeV-scale singlet fermions and the difficulty in achieving successful leptogenesis. Firstly, we investigate systematically leptogenesis within the inverse (and the related linear) seesaw models and show that a successful scenario requires either small Yukawa couplings, implying loss of experimental signals, and/or quasi-degeneracy among singlets mass of different generations, suggesting extra structure must be invoked. Then we move to the analysis of our new framework, which we refer to as hybrid seesaw. This combines the TeV degrees of freedom of the inverse seesaw with those of a high-scale ($M_N\gg$ TeV) seesaw module in such a way as to retain the main features of both pictures: naturally small neutrino masses, successful leptogenesis, and accessible experimental signatures. We show how the required structure can arise from a more fundamental theory with a gauge symmetry or from warped extra dimensions/composite Higgs. We provide a detailed derivation of all the analytical formulae necessary to analyze leptogenesis in this new framework, and discuss the entire gamut of possibilities our scenario encompasses: including scenarios with singlet masses in the enlarged range $M_N \sim 10^6 - 10^{16}$ GeV. The idea of hybrid seesaw was proposed by us in arXiv:1804.06847; here, we substantially elaborate upon and extend earlier results.

description: Background Cardiac autonomic perturbations frequently antecede onset of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF). Interventions that influence autonomic inputs to myocardium may prevent AF. However, whether low heart rate or heart rate variability (HRV), which are noninvasive measures of cardiac autonomic dysfunction, are associated with AF incidence is unclear. Objectives This study sought to study the association between HRV and risk of AF. Methods This study included 11,715 middle-aged adults in the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities) cohort with heart rate and HRV measures obtained from 2-min electrocardiogram recordings performed at baseline (1987 to 1989). These measures included SD of normal-to-normal RR intervals, high-frequency (HF) (0.15 to 0.40 Hz), low-frequency (0.04 to 0.15 Hz), and the low-frequency/HF ratio (denoting a greater sympathetic to parasympathetic dominance). Incident AF cases were ascertained by electrocardiogram at ARIC follow-up visits, hospital discharge diagnosis, or death certificates through 2011. Results During an average follow-up of 19.4 years, 1,580 or 13.5% of participants developed AF. A baseline heart rate <60 beats/min was associated modestly with an increased risk of AF. Lower overall HRV as well as increased sympathetic/parasympathetic tone were associated independently with a higher risk of AF; the hazard ratio for each 1 SD lower SD of normal-to-normal RR intervals was 1.14 (95% confidence interval: 1.08 to 1.21), for HF was 1.12 (95% confidence interval: 1.06 to 1.17), and for low frequency/HF was 1.08 (95% confidence interval: 1.03 to 1.14). Conclusions Cardiac autonomic dysfunction denoted by low resting short-term HRV was associated with higher AF incidence. A low heart rate may be associated with higher AF risk. Further studies are needed to determine whether interventions in the general population to restore autonomic balance may prevent AF.

description: We study the existence of proper holomorphic embeddings of bordered Riemann surfaces into the complex plane C^2. Denote by M(R) the moduli space consisting of all equivalence classes of complex structures J on a given smooth oriented bordered surface R. We introduce a class F(R) in M(R)with the following properties: (1) F(R) is nonempty and open (in a natural topology on M(R)); (2) The interior of any Riemann surface (R,J) in the class F(R) admits a proper holomorphic embedding in C^2; (3) If R is a finitely connected planar domain then F(R)=M(R); (4) Each hyperelliptic bordered Riemann surface (R,J) belongs to the class F(R) and hence admits a proper holomorphic embedding in C^2. Part (3) above is equivalent to the theorem of Globevnik and Stensones (Holomorphic embeddings of planar domains into C^2, Math. Ann. 303, 579-597, 1995). Our approach builds upon the earlier work of Cerne and Globevnik (On holomorphic embedding of planar domains into C^2, J. d'Analyse Math. 8, 269-282, 2000).

description: Aims The main objective of our study was to evaluate the associations between different categories of bundle branch blocks (BBBs) and mortality and to consider possible impact of QRS prolongation in these associations. Methods This analysis included 15 408 participants (mean age 54 years, 55.2% women, and 26.9% blacks) from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study. We used Cox regression to examine associations between left BBB (LBBB), right BBB (RBBB) and indetermined type of ventricular conduction defect [intraventricular conduction defect (IVCD)] with coronary heart disease (CHD) death and all-cause mortality. Results During a mean 21 years of follow-up, 4767 deaths occurred; of these, 728 were CHD deaths. Compared to No-BBB, LBBB and IVCD were strongly associated with increased CHD death (hazard ratios 4.11 and 3.18, respectively; P < 0.001 for both). Furthermore, compared to No-BBB with QRS duration less than 100 ms, CHD mortality risk was increased 1.33-fold for the No-BBB group with QRS duration 100-109 ms, and 1.48-fold with QRS duration 110-119 ms, 3.52-fold for pooled LBBB-IVCD group with QRS duration less than 140 ms and 4.96-fold for pooled LBBB-IVCD group with QRS duration at least 140 ms (P < 0.001). However, mortality risk was not significantly increased for lone RBBB. For all-cause mortality, trends similar to those for CHD death were observed within the BBB groups, although at lower levels of risk. Conclusion Prevalent LBBB and IVCD, but not RBBB, are associated with increased risk of CHD death and all-cause mortality. Mortality risk is further increased as the QRS duration is prolonged above 140 ms.

description: The association of atrial fibrillation (AF) with an increased risk of cognitive impairment or dementia is independent of clinical stroke and may be mediated by subclinical cerebral infarcts (SCIs). However, little is known about whether or not AF burden—the percentage of time a person is in AF—is related to cognitive function. Moreover, if such a relationship exists, whether it is mediated by clinical stroke or SCIs is unknown. We hypothesized that higher AF burden will be independently associated with lower cognitive function after adjustment for clinical stroke but this association will be attenuated after adjustment for SCIs. We tested our hypothesis in a sample of participants from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study, a large USA community-based cohort.

description: A novel property of the quantum critical heavy fermion superconductor $β$-YbAlB$_4$ is revealed theoretically. By analyzing the crystalline electronic field (CEF) on the basis of the hybridization picture, odd parity CEF is shown to exist because of sevenfold configuration of B atoms around Yb, which breaks the local inversion symmetry. This allows onsite admixture of 4f and 5d wavefunctions with a pure imaginary coefficient, giving rise to the magnetic toroidal (MT) degree of freedom. By constructing a realistic minimal model for $β$-YbAlB$_4$, we show that onsite 4f-5d Coulomb repulsion drives charge transfer between the 4f and 5d states at Yb, which makes the MT fluctuation as well as the electric dipole fluctuation diverge simultaneously with the critical Yb-valence fluctuation at the quantum critical point of the valence transition.

description: The aim of this study was to describe the relationship between ankle brachial index (ABI) and the risk for heart failure (HF). Background: The ABI is a simple, noninvasive measure associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and death; however, the relationship between ABI and risk for HF is less well characterized. Methods: Between 1987 and 1989 in the ARIC (Atherosclerosis Risk In Communities) study, an oscillometric device was used to measure blood pressure in a single upper and randomly chosen lower extremity to determine the ABI. Incident HF events were defined by the first hospitalization with an International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, code of 428.x through 2008. The risk for HF was assessed across the ABI range using restricted cubic splines and Cox proportional hazards models. Results: ABI was available in 13,150 participants free from prevalent HF. Over a mean 17.7 years of follow-up, 1,809 incident HF events occurred. After adjustment for traditional HF risk factors, prevalent coronary heart disease, subclinical carotid atherosclerosis, and interim myocardial infarction, compared with an ABI of 1.01 to 1.40, participants with ABIs≤0.90 were at increased risk for HF (hazard ratio: 1.40; 95% confidence interval: 1.12 to 1.74), as were participants with ABIs of 0.91 to 1.00 (hazard ratio: 1.36; 95% confidence interval: 1.17 to 1.59). Conclusions: In a middle-age community cohort, an ABI≤1.00 was significantly associated with an increased risk for HF, independent of traditional HF risk factors, prevalent coronary heart disease, carotid atherosclerosis, and interim myocardial infarction. Low ABI may reflect not only overt atherosclerosis but also pathologic processes in the development of HF beyond epicardial atherosclerotic disease and myocardial infarction alone. A low ABI, as a simple, noninvasive measure, may be a risk marker for HF.
