Using mean telomere length as a marker of biological age, I show that: 1. Subjects with premature myocardial infarction (MI) have significantly shorter telomeres than age-sex matched, healthy, controls. The mean telomere length in MI subjects was similar to controls almost 11 years older. 2. Healthy young adult children of families with a strong history of premature MI have shorter telomeres than age matched children of families without such a history. 3. Shorter telomere lengths are associated with increase risk of subsequent CHD events in a prospective study. This analysis was carried out on samples collected in the West of Scotland Coronary Prevention Study (WOSCOPS). This randomised blinded trial was designated to examine the benefits of statin treatment on preventing CHD and showed a 30% reduction of events in those treated with pravastatin. Interestingly, my analysis showed that this benefit of statin is only seen in those subjects at higher risk of CHD based on their telomere length.;As the final part of the thesis I carried out a quantitative linkage trait (QTL) analysis in sib-pairs in an attempt to identify genetic loci regulating telomere length. I report the mapping of a major QTL on chromosome 12 that determines almost 50% of the inter-individual variation in mean telomere length.;These findings support a novel "telomere" hypothesis of CHD. They indicate that telomere biology is intimately linked to the genetic aetiology and pathogenesis of CHD. Specifically, the findings suggest that (i) those individuals born with shorter telomeres may be at increased risk of CHD (ii) rather than individual genes, a more global structural property of the genetic material may explain the familial basis of CHD (iii) variation in telomere length may explain, in part, the variable age of onset of CHD. The findings provide several new avenues for future research.

Fifty percent of the diagnosed cases of coronary heart disease in the United States are of unknown etiology. This study proposed that five personality traits— achievement, dominance, aggression, succorance and Critical Parent—differentiate individuals with coronary heart disease manifestations. The ultimate goal of this research was to formulate a predictive profile of at-risk individuals of developing coronary heart disease. Cardiac rehabilitation units' participants from across the United States were recruited as subjects. Randomly selected cardiac rehabilitation units were sent an initial letter inquiring whether their staff would be willing to participate in the study by administering the instruments to their participants. Eight units from each of the 50 states were contacted. A total of fourteen units agreed to participate. One hundred sixty-nine subjects completed the Demographic Data Questionnaire and the Adjective Check List. Five scale scores, representing the five personality differentials, were analyzed. Comparison of the male subject population (n=135) and the male normative population (n=198) revealed no significant differences in terms of the five traits. Comparison of diagnostic subgroups of the subject population also revealed no significant differences. It was concluded that the subject population did not differ significantly from the normative population in terms of the five traits assess by the instrument used. The goal of a predictive profile was not realized due to this lack of findings.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2005.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 69-71).
Heart rate variability (HRV), the beat-to-beat fluctuation of the heart rate, is a non-invasive test that measures the autonomic regulation of the heart. Assessment of HRV has been shown to predict the risk of mortality in patients after an acute myocardial infarction. Recently, the Krieger lab at MIT developed genetically engineered double knockout (dKO) mice that develop coronary artery disease accompanied by spontaneous myocardial infarctions and die at a very young age. This thesis investigated whether HRV could function as a prognostic indicator in the dKO mouse. A novel method for estimating physiological state of the mouse from the electrocardiogram using an innovative activity index was developed in order to compare HRV variables at different times while controlling for physiologic state. Traditional time and frequency domain variables were used to assess the prognostic power of HRV. Results have shown that none of the HRV variables were helpful in predicting mortality in the dKO mice. Mean heart rate showed some prognostic power, but it was not consistent in all the dKO mice. Finally, the activity index developed in this thesis provided a reliable metric for activity in mice as validated by a camera with motion detection.

Introduction There has been much discussion on personalised medicine; however use of genotype in risk prediction for coronary heart disease (CHD) has not resulted in appreciable improvements over non-genetic risk factors. The primary aim was to determine whether candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified from genome-wide association studies improved prediction of CHD over conventional risk factors (CRF). The secondary aim was to determine whether the use of apolipoproteins or lipoprotein(a) improved risk prediction of CHD. Methods Analyses used the Edinburgh Heart Disease Prevention Study (EHDPS), with 1592 men aged 30-59 and follow-up after 20 years; and the Edinburgh Artery Study (EAS), with 1592 men and women aged 54-75 and 15 years of follow-up. Candidate SNPs were identified by systematic literature reviews. CHD status was evaluated as severe (myocardial infarction or coronary revascularisation), and any (severe CHD, angina or non-specified ischaemic heart disease). Cox proportional hazards models were used to evaluate addition of candidate SNPs or lipids to models containing CRF. Results A group of genome-wide significant SNPs resulted in a non-significant improvement in C-index for severe CHD (0.038, p=0.082), and a significant improvement in C-index for any CHD (0.042, p=0.016); the associated net reclassification improvements (NRI) were 20.5% and 18.7%, respectively. Regression trees identified SNPs that were predictive of the remaining variance after adjusting for CRF; this resulted in a significant improvement in C-index for any CHD (0.031, p=0.008). The NRI were 11.0% and 9.6% for severe and any CHD, respectively. When compared with HDL cholesterol/total cholesterol, apolipoprotein AI/total cholesterol yielded a NRI of 3.3% for severe CHD. Lipoprotein(a) improved prediction of severe CHD, with a non-significant improvement in C-index (0.020, p=0.087), and NRI of 11.8%. Conclusion The results of this study indicate that a well selected group of candidate SNPs can improve risk prediction for CHD over-and-above CRF. The inclusion of lipoprotein(a), along with CRF, appeared to improve prediction of severe CHD, but not any CHD.

Objective: To examine the effect of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program for secondary prevention of coronary heart disease on cardiac-related mortality, recurrent cardiovascular event and quality of life. Methods: All studies published between 1990 and 2013 in PubMed, and from 1980 to 2013 in EMBASE, which evaluated the effectiveness of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program for coronary heart disease. Using the specific keywords “Cardiac rehabilitation”, “Coronary heart disease” OR “Ischemic heart disease” [MeSH], “Exercise” OR “Physical activities” AND “Quality of life” OR “Mortality” AND Cardiovascular events” were searched. A total of 7randomized controlled trials out of 5,051articles from PubMed and 117 articles from EMBASE were included in this systematic review. The primary outcome measures used in the included seven studies were HRQOL, restenosis, cardiac event, cardiac related mortality. Similar demographic and clinical characteristics of the subjects between the intervention and the control groups were recorded. The studies were from five countries. The average age of the subjects in the seven studies was 61years, the average half of them have history of myocardial infarction. Though there were discrepancies among the results generated in the included studies, the potential benefits of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation could be seen. Results: Compared with the non-exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation, patients allocated to the exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation program had greater improvement in HRQOL and reduction of cardiac events. The result of reducing restenosis was inconsistent. The cardiac related mortality is not significant difference between exercise-based and non-exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation.

In countries where people of South Asian origin have settled, unexpectedly high coronary heart disease rates have been recorded in South Asian men and women compared with other ethnic groups. In England high CHD mortality is shared by Gujarati Hindus, Punjabi Sikhs and Muslims from Pakistan and Bangladesh. The high CHD rates in these populations are unexplained by levels of smoking, blood pressure, plasma cholesterol or dietary fat intake. To test whether disturbances of haemostatic activity, lipoprotein metabolism or carbohydrate metabolism might underlie the high CHD mortality in South Asians, a population study in east London was undertaken. The results confirmed that the high CHD rates in South Asians compared with the native British population cannot be explained by differences in the distributions of blood pressure or plasma cholesterol. The hypothesis of a disturbance of haemostatic activity was not supported. A pattern of low plasma HDL cholesterol and high triglyceride levels, high serum insulin levels after a glucose load and high prevalence of non-insulin-dependent diabetes was identified in CD Bangladeshis. On the basis of these findings and a review of other recent work it is suggested that: (i) insulin resistance underlies these disturbances of lipoprotein and carbohydrate metabolism in Bangladeshis; (ii) this tendency to insulin resistance is a general pattern in South Asian populations overseas; and (iii) it is a possible underlying mechanism for the high rates of both CHD and diabetes in these populations. The planning of a large study to test this is described. Preliminary results confirm that a syndrome of metabolic disturbances related to insulin resistance, first identified in Bangladeshis, is present also in Gujaratis and Punjabis. This is associated with a striking tendency to central obesity in South Asians. These findings point to the aetiological role of insulin resistance in CHD and suggest possible strategies for prevention in South Asian communities.

Psychosocial factors are thought to contribute to the long term development of coronary artery disease (CAD), to the triggering of cardiac events in people with advanced disease, and to adaptation following acute coronary syndromes (ACS). My thesis presents three studies addressing different aspects of the relationship between emotional factors and CAD, using different methodologies. They focus on the role of negative emotions in vulnerability to myocardial ischaemia in daily life, the influence of acute emotional triggers of ACS on long term quality of life, and the effect of depression following ACS on a particularly important aspect of adaptation, namely return to work. The first study, called the Silent Ischaemia Study (SIS) investigated 88 out-patients with suspected CAD who underwent 24 hour ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring, together with saliva sampling and characterisation of daily life by a new method called the Day Reconstruction Method (DRM). The results indicated that in patients with definite CAD, depressed mood was associated with reduced high frequency and increased low frequency heart rate variability (HRV), suggestive of parasympathetic withdrawal. The Cortisol slope over the day was flatter in more depressed patients with CAD. Episodes of transient ischaemia and/or arrhythmia were also associated with increased negative affect, but their incidence was low, primarily because most patients were medicated with beta blockers. The second and third studies derive from the ACCENT (Acute Coronary Syndrome, Emotion and Triggers) study, exploring long term adaptation following ACS. Analyses showed that the likelihood of returning to work was negatively associated with depression immediately following ACS, independently of clinical and demographic factors, and that emotional triggers predicted elevated anxiety and poor mental health status at 12 and 36 months independently of covariates. In combination, these studies suggest that negative emotional status contribute both to the onset of acute cardiac events, and to adaptation following ACS.

This thesis describes the characterisation and development of covalently immobilised recombinant human tropoelastin (TE) on a plasma-activated coating (PAC) as a potential stent coating for the treatment of coronary artery disease. A biomimetic approach was used to create a biocompatible coating with an immobilised human protein to enhance biointegration of an implanted stent. A coating that enhanced endothelialisation while displaying low tbrombogenicity was developed and characterised in vitro and in vivo. Covalent binding of TE to PAC was verified using ELISA and radiolabelled TE. Modulating the gas composition of the PAC, and therefore its mechanical and biological properties, resulted in varying amounts of covalently bound TE. The nitrogen containing PA Cs covalently bound up to 89± 1 % of physisorbed TE. The N2/Ar PAC covalently bound a monolayer of TE and was chosen for further characterisation. The covalent binding capacity of PAC extended for at least a year, retaining 65±1 % of its covalent TE binding capacity. Restoration of the full covalent binding capacity was achieved upon heat treatment of the PAC. TE was shown to support the attachment and proliferation of endothelial cells (ECs) when physisorbed to tissue culture plastic (TCP). This was comparable to other adhesive extracellular matrix proteins, fibronectin and collagen. The morphology and distribution of ECs cultured on 316L SS, PAC and PAC+TE was investigated using reflective, fluorescence and scanning electron microscopy. PAC+TE supported increased endothelial attachment and proliferation compared to uncoated 3 l 6L SS and PAC. An EC phenotype was confirmed on 316L SS, PAC and PAC+TE by immunofluorescent labelling of endothelial cell specific markers, CD3 I and vWF. As the thrombogenicity of blood contacting medical devices is crucial, methodology was developed to test the haemocompatibility of metallic surfaces in vitro. In static adhesion assays using whole heparinised blood, PAC was found to confer low thrombogenicity compared to 3 l 6L SS, and nitrogen again modulated this property. PAC and PAC+TE showed lower thrombogenicity than 316L SS after 60 min incubation. A modified Chandler loop was developed to test the tbrombogenicity of metallic surfaces in the presence of flowing blood. PAC and PAC+TE were again found to display low thrombogenicity, resulting in a 3-fold increase in the time to thrombus formation compared to 3 I 6L SS. This effect correlated with a 65±1 % increase in soluble P-selectin, a platelet activation marker on 3 l 6L SS. No significant platelet activation occurred on PAC or PAC+TE. The low thrombogenicity of PAC was retained for between 3 and 7 months. Furthermore, TE coated 3 I 6L SS displayed lower thrombogenicity than uncoated 316L SS, or fibronectin-or collagen-coated 316L SS. The PAC was translated to a 316L SS laser cut stent for evaluation and in vivo testing. The PAC deposition was altered to coat all surfaces and resisted delamination. In vitro crimping and expansion of the PAC stent showed only the formation of nanocracks, compared to the large scale delamination observed on a commercially available Taxus Liberte stent. The covalent TE binding capacity and non-thrombogenicity of the PAC were maintained on the stent PAC. The endothelialisation of PAC and PAC+TE stents was evaluated in vivo. This study marks the first comparator analysis of bare metal stents (BMS), PAC and PAC+ TE stents in a well-characterised model of rabbit bilateral iliac stenting. PAC and PAC+ TE stents were well tolerated and showed no gross inflammatory response. Cell coverage of stent struts occurred by 7 days post-implantation with endotheJialisation occurring both between the struts and over the struts in all samples. PAC and PAC+ TE showed no difference in the rate of endothelialisation compared to BMS, the standard corrunerciaJly available stents. In further work, covalently immobilised TE was found to be susceptible to proteolytic cleavage by the common blood plasma proteases kallikrein and thrombin, which predominantly cleave TE at its arginine 515 residue. A mutant form of TE, R5 I 5A was shown to resist proteolytic cleavage at the 515 residue and thus retained the C-terminus of the protein which is required for cell attachment. This mutant form of TE retained the equivalent level of covalent binding to PAC and would therefore be a suitable candidate for application to a PAC stent for in vivo evaluation.

Amendments inserted at back. "May 2002" Includes bibliographical references (leaves 237-290) Experiments described in this thesis address the potential role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in hibernating myocardium. Specifically it was sought to establish a cellular model of hibernating myocardium and investigate the expression, regulation and effects of iNOS in this model. Experiments were performed using primary cultures of neonatal rat ventricular myocytes.
