Publication number: 20110201947Abstract: The present invention provides methods and markers for characterizing a subject's, particularly a human subject risk of having cardiovascular disease. The present invention also provides methods of characterizing a subject's risk of developing cardiovascular disease. In another embodiment, the present invention provides methods for characterizing a subject's risk of experiencing a complication of cardiovascular disease or major adverse cardiac event within 1, 3, or 10 years. In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method for determining whether a subject presenting with chest pain is at risk near term of experiencing a heart attack or other major adverse cardiac event. The present methods are especially useful for identifying those subjects who are in need of highly aggressive CVD therapies as well as those subjects who require no therapies targeted at inhibiting or preventing CVD or complications of CVD.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2009Publication date: August 18, 2011Applicant: THE CLEVELAND CLINIC FOUNDATIONInventors: Stanley L. Hazen, Stephen James Nicholls, Zhiping Wu

Publication number: 20110104818Abstract: Methods for characterizing a test subject's, particularly a human test subject's, risk of having cardiovascular disease or developing cardiovascular disease are provided. Also provided are methods for characterizing a test subject's risk of experiencing a complication of cardiovascular disease near term. The methods comprise determining levels of one or more carbamylated biomarkers in a bodily fluid of the test subject and/or comparing these levels with a reference value. In certain embodiments, the carbamylated biomarkers are carbamylated albumin, carbamylated fibrinogen, carbamylated immunoglobulin and carbamylated apolipoprotein A. In other embodiments, particularly where the test subject does not have clinical evidence of renal disease, the carbamylated biomarker is free and/or total peptide-bound homocitrulline.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2008Publication date: May 5, 2011Applicant: The Cleveland Clinic FoundationInventors: Stanley L. Hazen, Zeneng Wang, Stephen James Nicholls, Joe Didonato

Publication number: 20090208992Abstract: Provided herein are methods for assessing the risk a subject or patient without significant evidence of cardiovascular disease has of experiencing a major adverse cardiac event or requiring revascularization near term. Also provided are methods of determining whether a subject who has experienced a major adverse cardiac event is at risk of experiencing a recurrent major adverse cardiac event near term. The present methods comprise determining the levels of paraoxonase 1 enzymatic activity in the blood, serum, plasma, or any combination of said bodily fluids in the subject.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2008Publication date: August 20, 2009Applicant: The Cleveland Clinic FoundationInventors: Stanley L.

Patent number: 6489898Abstract: The present invention provides an alternative means of displaying aircraft flight information traditionally provided by a standalone rate of turn indicator on the aircraft instrumentation panel. The bank angle effective to achieve a rate of turn equal to a desired rate of turn for an aircraft is displayed to the pilot by generating and displaying one or more bank angle markers on the roll scale of an aircraft attitude indicator. The position of the desired rate of turn bank angle markers may be updated continuously as a function of airspeed and other flight parameters. The present invention enables a pilot to perform a coordinated turn at a desired rate of turn without having to reference a separate rate of turn indicator on the instrumentation panel and/or without having to independently calculate the associated bank angle according to any known “rule of thumb” or other estimation method.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2000Date of Patent: December 3, 2002Assignee: Honeywell International Inc.Inventor: James Nicholls
