B-21 | The Heart Team Approach to Cardiovascular Care at Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute: Baptist Health South Florida Open
The Heart Team (HT) approach to patients with complex cardiovascular disease carries a Class I indication in several cardiovascular societal guidelines. We describe the feasibility and successful implementation of the HT approach to care a…

Systemic Inflammation and CT-Derived Coronary Plaque Characteristics Among Asymptomatic US Adults: The Miami Heart Study Open
Objective We aimed to evaluate the association between inflammatory markers and coronary plaque features on coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) among asymptomatic individuals. Methods Baseline data from Miami Heart Study — an o…

Coronary Atherosclerosis Across the Glycemic Spectrum Among Asymptomatic Adults: The Miami Heart Study at Baptist Health South Florida Open
BACKGROUND: The contemporary burden and characteristics of coronary atherosclerosis, assessed using coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA), is unknown among asymptomatic adults with diabetes and prediabetes in the United States. T…

0455 Association of high-risk obstructive sleep apnea with endothelial dysfunction in a large population-based sample in MiHeart Study Open
Introduction Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is associated with endothelial dysfunction and cardiovascular disease (CVD). There are limited data evaluating the association with endothelial dysfunction measured by reactive hyperemia index (RH…

The association of sex-specific hormones with coronary artery plaque characteristics from Miami Heart (MiHeart) study Open
Among young to middle-aged women with no clinical CAD, increasing estradiol and SHBG were associated with lower odds of any plaque and higher free testosterone was associated with HRP. Larger cohorts may be needed to validate this.

0705 Association of high risk obstructive sleep apnea with atherosclerotic plaque, coronary stenosis and coronary artery calcium score in asymptomatic young and middle-aged adults in The Miami Heart (MiHeart) Study at Baptist Health South Florida Open
Introduction Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is associated with clinical cardiovascular disease (CVD). There are limited data evaluating association with subclinical CVD measured by cardiac computed tomography (CT). We hypothesized there wou…

0704 Association of high-risk obstructive sleep apnea with inflammatory markers in asymptomatic young and middle-aged adults in Miami Heart (MiHeart) Study at Baptist Health South Florida Open
Introduction Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) is associated with elevated inflammatory markers in those with cardiovascular disease (CVD). In contrast, there are limited data to support this association in asymptomatic individuals. The Miami …

Visual estimate of coronary artery calcium predicts prevalent coronary artery disease in patients with respiratory disease Open
Background Coronary artery calcification (CAC) measured using ECG-triggered coronary computed tomography correlates strongly with overt cardiovascular disease risk. Evidence is emerging to suggest CAC measured on non-gated thoracic CT scan…

Association of Subjective and Objective Sleep Duration as well as Sleep Quality with Non-Invasive Markers of Sub-Clinical Cardiovascular Disease (CVD): A Systematic Review Open
Overall, our review provided mixed results, which is generally in line with published literature, with most of the studies showing a significant relationship with subclinical CVD, but only some studies failed to demonstrate such an associa…

Elevated gamma-glutamyl transferase is associated with subclinical inflammation independent of cardiometabolic risk factors in an asymptomatic population: a cross-sectional study Open
In our cohort of asymptomatic individuals a higher serum GGT level was independently associated with increased burden of subclinical inflammation across metabolic states. These findings may explain GGT association with increased CVD risk.

Rationale and design of the Baptist Employee Healthy Heart Study: a randomized trial assessing the efficacy of the addition of an interactive, personalized, web-based, lifestyle intervention tool to an existing health information web platform in a high-risk employee population Open
BACKGROUND: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) and diabetes confer a high risk for developing subsequent cardiovascular disease (CVD). Persons with MetS constitute 24-34 % of the employee population at Baptist Health South Florida (BHSF), a self-in…
