Bacterial endocarditis in subjects 60 years of age and older.
Forty-two cases of bacterial endocarditis with pathologic confirmation are reviewed. Infection was restricted to one or both left-sided valves in 31 cases, right-sided valves in five cases, and valves in both sides of the heart in six cases. In those specimens available for review, underlying valvular disease was identifiable in 24 of 38 cases (63%). The common underlying diseases, in order of ...
متن کاملMetabolic syndrome and asymptomatic peripheral artery disease in subjects over 60 years of age.
The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a noninvasive, low-cost, and useful test for detecting asymptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD). An ABI 0.9 has a sensitivity of 95% and a specificity of 99% in identifying PAD when compared with arteriography (1). A low ABI predicts risk of cardiovascular death, myocardial infarction, PAD events, and stroke (2,3). Although an elevated prevalence of a low A...
متن کاملAssociation of blood pressure in the supine position with target organ damage in subjects over 60 years old
Objective Toexplore the correlation between blood pressure in the supine position and target organ damage in subjects over 60 years of age. Methods In 2444 individuals, we investigated the association of systolic blood pressure (SBP) in the supine position with the target organ damage indices microalbuminuria (ALBU), brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), and carotid intima-media thickness...
متن کاملAlteration of retinal layers in healthy subjects over 60 years of age until nonagenarians
PURPOSE To assess alterations of retinal layers in healthy subjects over 60 years old. METHODS Retinal layers of 160 healthy subjects (aged 60-100 years) without any retinal pathology were imaged using spectral domain optical coherence tomography. Mean thickness of retinal nerve fiber layer, ganglion cell/inner plexiform layer (GCLIPL), inner nuclear layer, outer plexiform layer/outer nuclear...
متن کاملThe relation between habitual sleep duration and blood pressure values in Japanese male subjects.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have demonstrated that sleep duration is closely associated with metabolic risk factors. However, the relationship between habitual sleep duration and blood pressure values in Japanese population has not been fully established. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional study of 1,670 Japanese male subjects to clarify the relationship between habitual sleep duration an...
