    Abstract: Introduction: Neurotensin is a 13-amino acid peptide whose receptor (SORT1) is strongly linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) development through several mechanisms, including a role in hepatic low density lipoprotein (LDL) metabolism. We measured concentrations of proneurotensin (PNT; the stable pro-fragment of neurotensin) in subjects from the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) Offspring cohort. Hypothesis: Concentrations of PNT provide incremental information for incident CV events, possibly through interactions with LDL. Methods: Blood samples from 3439 fasting subjects (mean age 59.2 years, 47.1% male) were tested for PNT (Sphingotec, Hennigsdorf, GE). The primary outcome of interest was incident hard CVD (composite of myocardial infarction [MI], stroke, and CV death). Incident hard CHD (MI and CV death) was also examined. Results: Compared to subjects in PNT quartiles 1-3, those in the highest quartile were more likely to be younger and heavier, more likely to smoke (all P 〈 0.007), and across PNT quartiles more likely to have prevalent CVD (from 24.4% to 31.1%; P =0.003) and diabetes mellitus (from 5.5% to 13.4%; P 〈 0.001). No association between PNT and LDL concentrations was observed. In age and sex-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models, log-PNT concentrations predicted incident hard CVD (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.24 per one standard deviation [SD] change in log-PNT; 95% confidence intervals [CI] = 1.11-1.39; P 〈 0.001). Greatest risk for incident hard CVD was observed in log-PNT quartile 4 (HR = 1.53 per one SD change in log-PNT vs quartile 1; P =0.005). In models adjusted for standard risk factors, log-PNT remained significantly associated with incident hard CVD (HR = 1.13 per one SD change in log-PNT; 95% CI = 1.01-1.27; P = 0.03). Addition of log-PNT to the FHS Risk Score resulted in modest risk reclassification (NRI = 0.024; 95% CI=-0.0008-0.048), and in Kaplan Meier analyses, shorter time to first event was seen in higher log-PNT values (log rank P = 0.02). Similar results were found for hard CHD. We did not observe effect modification by LDL. Conclusions: Higher concentrations of PNT are associated with a greater risk of incident hard CVD and CHD in the community independent of LDL concentrations and other risk factors.

    Abstract: Neurotensin is a peptide whose receptor (sortilin receptor 1) is linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) development. We hypothesized concentrations of proneurotensin (stable profragment of neurotensin) would predict incident cardiovascular events in community-based subjects. Approach and Results— Blood samples from 3439 participants in the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) Offspring cohort (mean age 59.2 years, 47.1% male) were tested for proneurotensin. Primary outcome of interest was incident hard CVD (myocardial infarction, stroke, and cardiovascular death); interaction between proneurotensin concentration with sex, low-density lipoprotein concentrations, and sortilin receptor 1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms was sought. At baseline, those in the highest log-proneurotensin quartile were younger and heavier ( P 〈 0.001); across proneurotensin quartiles, more prevalent hard CVD (from 3% to 7%; P 〈 0.001) and diabetes mellitus (from 6% to 14%; P 〈 0.001) were present. In age- and sex-adjusted models, log-proneurotensin concentrations predicted incident hard CVD (hazard ratio [HR], 1.24 per SD change in log-proneurotensin; 95% confidence intervals [CIs] , 1.11–1.39; P 〈 0.001), a finding that remained on adjustment for standard CVD risk factors (HR, 1.13; 95% CI, 1.01–1.27; P =0.03). Elevated log-proneurotensin concentrations were associated with shorter time to first event ( P =0.02). We found no effect modification by sex, low-density lipoprotein concentration, or sortilin receptor 1 single-nucleotide polymorphisms. Concentrations of proneurotensin were modestly associated with left ventricular mass and coronary artery calcium in these subjects. Conclusions— Higher concentrations of proneurotensin are associated with a greater risk of incident cardiovascular events in the community. This association did not vary according to sex, baseline low-density lipoprotein, or sortilin receptor 1 genotype.

    Abstract: Reduced physical activity is associated with increased risk of heart failure (HF) in middle‐aged individuals. We hypothesized that physical inactivity is also associated with greater HF risk in older individuals, and examined if the association was consistent for HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) vs. HF with a reduced ejection fraction (HFREF). Methods and results We evaluated 1142 elderly participants (mean age 76 years) from the Framingham Study without prior myocardial infarction and who attended a routine examination when daily physical activity was assessed systematically with a questionnaire. A composite score, the physical activity index (PAI), was calculated and modelled as tertiles, and related to incidence of HF, HFPEF, and HFREF on follow‐up using proportional hazards regression models adjusting for age and sex, and then additionally for standard HF risk factors. Participants with HF and EF 〈 45% vs. ≥45% were categorized as HFREF and HFPEF, respectively. On follow‐up (mean 10 years), 250 participants developed HF (108 with HFPEF, 106 with HFREF, 36 with unavailable EF). In age‐ and sex‐adjusted models, the middle and highest PAI tertiles were associated with a 15–56% lower risk of any HF, of HFREF, and of HFPEF, with a graded response across tertiles. In multivariable models, the association of higher PAI with lower risk of any HF and with HFPEF was maintained, whereas the association with HFREF was attenuated. Conclusions Our study of an older community‐based sample extends to the elderly and to HFPEF previous findings of a protective effect of physical activity on HF risk.

    Abstract: Methods to identify patients at risk for incident HF would be welcome as such patients might benefit from earlier interventions. Methods and results From a registry of 1251 patients referred for coronary and/or peripheral angiography, we sought to identify independent predictors of incident HF during follow‐up and develop a clinical and biomarker strategy to predict this outcome. There were 991 patients free of prevalent HF at baseline. Cox proportional hazard models were developed to predict adjudicated diagnosis of incident HF. Model discrimination and reclassification were evaluated. At follow‐up, 177 (18%) developed new‐onset HF. Independent predictors of new‐onset HF included five clinical variables (age, male sex, heart rate, history of atrial fibrillation/flutter, and history of hypertension) and two biomarkers (amino‐terminal pro‐B type natriuretic peptide and ST2). The c‐statistic for the model without biomarkers was 0.69; including biomarkers increased the c‐statistic to 0.76 ( P   〈  0.001). A score was developed from the model. Patients in the highest score quintile had shortest time to incident HF compared with lower quintiles (log‐rank P   〈  0.001). Following 100 bootstrap iterations, internal validation was confirmed with Harrell's c‐statistic of 0.77. Use of angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers, and beta‐blockers at enrollment was associated with substantial attenuation of predictive value of the risk score. Conclusions Patients undergoing coronary/peripheral angiographic procedures are a population at high risk for incident HF. We describe an accurate clinical and biomarker strategy for predicting incident HF and possibly intervening in such patients (NCT00842868).

    Abstract: Evidence for cardioprotective effects of lycopene is inconsistent. Studies of circulating lycopene generally report inverse associations with CVD risk, but studies based on lycopene intake do not. The failure of dietary studies to support the findings based on biomarkers may be due in part to misclassification of lycopene intakes. To address this potential misclassification, we used repeated measures of intake obtained over 10 years to characterise the relationship between lycopene intake and the incidence of CVD ( n 314), CHD ( n 171) and stroke ( n 99) in the Framingham Offspring Study. Hazard ratios (HR) for incident outcomes were derived from Cox proportional hazards regression models using logarithmically transformed lycopene intake adjusted for CVD risk factors and correlates of lycopene intake. HR were interpreted as the increased risk for a 2·7-fold difference in lycopene intake, a difference approximately equal to its interquartile range. Using an average of three intake measures with a 9-year follow-up, lycopene intake was inversely associated with CVD incidence (HR 0·83, 95 % CI 0·70, 0·98). Using an average of two intake measures and 11 years of follow-up, lycopene intake was inversely associated with CHD incidence (HR 0·74, 95 % CI 0·58, 0·94). Lycopene intake was unrelated to stroke incidence. The present study of lycopene intake and CVD provides supporting evidence for an inverse association between lycopene and CVD risk; however, additional research is needed to determine whether lycopene or other components of tomatoes, the major dietary source of lycopene, are responsible for the observed association.

    Abstract: Beta-2-microglobulin (β 2 M), a multifunctional protein involved in immune function, is a filtration marker that has been reported to predict renal failure, cancer, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and all-cause mortality. Previous studies of β 2 M and mortality were limited to select study samples (elderly or patient-based) lacking information on cancer or kidney function. We examined plasma β 2 M as a predictor of all-cause and cause-specific mortality in those with and without chronic kidney disease (CKD). The study sample consisted of Framingham Heart Study participants from the 2 nd (n=3196) and 3 rd (n=3911) generations who attended an on-site examination (2001-2007). Plasma β 2 M concentration was measured using a Luminex bead-based immunoassay. Mortality events were adjudicated by a physician committee. Proportional hazard models were conducted based on standardized values of β 2 M, adjusted for CVD risk factors, prevalent CVD, cancer, and family structure. We additionally analyzed subgroups stratified for CKD (defined as GFR ckdepi 〈 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 ). The study sample included 7107 individuals [mean age 50 years, 54% female, 4% with prevalent CKD, mean length of follow-up: 13 years]. In the overall sample, β 2 M concentrations were associated with increased risk of CVD death (HR=1.42 [CI=1.17-1.72]), cancer death (HR=1.27 [CI=1.07-1.5] ), and all-cause mortality (HR=1.27 [CI=1.16-1.4]). β 2 M performed better in participants with prevalent CKD than in those free of CKD. Adjusting for cystatin C, a filtration biomarker, did not affect the results. For all-cause mortality, including plasma β 2 M yielded a relative integrated discrimination improvement of 3% (p-value 0.03) beyond the covariate-only model. The net reclassification improvements (NRI) for all-cause mortality was 4% that was not statistically significant (p-value 0.26). We conclude that among middle-aged adults, plasma β 2 M is a predictor of all-cause and cause-specific mortality. Much of the risk associated with β 2 M is concentrated in those with CKD.

    Abstract: Hypertension and increased vascular stiffness are viewed as inevitable parts of aging. To elucidate whether the age-related decrease in vascular function is avoidable, we assessed the prevalence, correlates, and prognosis of healthy vascular aging (HVA) in 3196 Framingham Study participants aged ≥50 years. We defined HVA as absence of hypertension and pulse wave velocity 〈 7.6 m/s (mean+2 SD of a reference sample aged 〈 30 years). Overall, 566 (17.7%) individuals had HVA, with prevalence decreasing from 30.3% in people aged 50 to 59 to 1% in those aged ≥70 years. In regression models adjusted for physical activity, caloric intake, and traditional cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, we observed that lower age, female sex, lower body mass index, use of lipid-lowering drugs, and absence of diabetes mellitus were cross-sectionally associated with HVA ( P 〈 0.001 for all). A unit increase in a cardiovascular health score (Life’s Simple 7) was associated with 1.55-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.38–1.74) age- and sex-adjusted odds of HVA. During a follow-up of 9.6 years, 391 CVD events occurred. In Cox regression models adjusted for traditional CVD risk factors, including blood pressure, HVA was associated with a hazard ratio of 0.45 (95% confidence interval, 0.26–0.77) for CVD relative to absence of HVA. Although HVA is achievable in individuals acculturated to a Western lifestyle, maintaining normal vascular function beyond 70 years of age is challenging. Although our data are observational, our findings support prevention strategies targeting modifiable factors and behaviors and obesity, in particular, to prevent or delay vascular aging and the associated risk of CVD.
