Overview

Jarmo Virtamo is affiliated with the National Institutes of Health in the United States. Their research spans medicine with a focus on several subfields, including pathology and forensic medicine, molecular biology, cardiology and cardiovascular medicine, genetics, and surgery. The scientist's work touches on topics such as Helicobacter pylori-related gastroenterology studies, gastric cancer management and outcomes, colorectal cancer screening and detection, cardiovascular function and risk factors, health and cognitive aging in relation to the environment, cardiovascular disease and adiposity, as well as lymphoma diagnosis and treatment.

Virtamo has authored publications primarily in two venues: UNC Libraries, where they have published seven papers, and the World Journal of Gastroenterology, with one publication. Their body of work includes studies of diverse medical conditions and risk factors.

Recent published papers include:

  • Comparison of operative link for gastritis assessment, operative link on gastric intestinal metaplasia assessment, and TAIM stagings among men with atrophic gastritis (2020, World Journal of Gastroenterology)
  • Genome-Wide Association Study for Incident Myocardial Infarction and Coronary Heart Disease in Prospective Cohort Studies: The CHARGE Consortium (2020, UNC Libraries)
  • Major types of dietary fat and risk of coronary heart disease: a pooled analysis of 11 cohort studies (2020, UNC Libraries)
  • Genome-wide association study identifies multiple susceptibility loci for diffuse large B cell lymphoma (2020, UNC Libraries)
  • Smoking and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease in Younger, Middle-Aged, and Older Adults (2021, UNC Libraries)

Frequent co-authors collaborating with Virtamo include:

  • Berit L. Heitmann
  • Mark A. Pereira
  • Katarina Bälter
  • Uri Goldbourt
  • Göran Hallmans

The scientist's work in cardiology and cardiovascular medicine covers various risk factors such as smoking and dietary fat types and their relationship to coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction.

Virtamo's contributions to molecular biology and genetics are represented in genome-wide association studies identifying susceptibility loci for diseases like diffuse large B cell lymphoma. Their involvement in gastrointestinal research includes developing staging assessments for gastritis and gastric intestinal metaplasia, which are relevant to cancer screening and management.

The diversity of topics and collaboration with multiple co-authors across several research areas indicates a multidisciplinary approach to studying health outcomes and risk factors related to cardiovascular and gastrointestinal diseases, as well as cancer and aging.
