The mediation of coronary calcification in the association between risk scores and cardiac troponin T elevation in healthy adults: Is atherosclerosis a good prognostic precursor of coronary disease?
BACKGROUND Conventional cardiac risk scores may not be completely accurate in predicting acute events because they only include factors associated with atherosclerosis, considered as the fundamental precursor of cardiovascular disease. In UK in 2006-2008 (Whitehall II study) we tested the ability of several risk scores to identify individuals with cardiac cell damage and assessed to what extent...
متن کاملMultiethnic polygenic risk scores improve risk prediction in diverse populations.
Methods for genetic risk prediction have been widely investigated in recent years. However, most available training data involves European samples, and it is currently unclear how to accurately predict disease risk in other populations. Previous studies have used either training data from European samples in large sample size or training data from the target population in small sample size, but...

متن کاملVitamin D: a possible modifying factor linking obesity to vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients
BACKGROUND Obesity is a risk factor for increased cardiovascular disease. Whether vitamin D deficiency modifies this association is unclear. Here, we examined the association of obesity and vitamin D deficiency with vascular calcification score (VCS) in incident end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted with 213 ESRD patients. Vitamin D deficiency ...
متن کاملmotivational factors of adherence to cardiac rehabilitation
background: main suggested theories about patients’ adherence to treatment regimens recognize the importance of motivation in positive changes in behaviors. since cardiac diseases are chronic and common, cardiac rehabilitation as an effective prevention program is crucial in management of these diseases. there is always concern about the patients’ adherence to cardiac rehabilitation. the aim of...
