Low serum magnesium predicts neurological events in patients with advanced atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Magnesium (Mg) deficiency is thought to be a risk factor for cerebrovascular atherosclerosis and complications. We investigated the prognostic impact of Mg serum levels with respect to the occurrence of neurological events in patients with advanced atherosclerosis. METHODS We prospectively studied 323 patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease and intermittent ...
متن کاملJoint effects of C-reactive protein and glycated hemoglobin in predicting future cardiovascular events of patients with advanced atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND C-reactive protein (CRP) and glycohemoglobin (HbA1c) are established risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease. We investigated the joint effects of these parameters on cardiovascular outcome of patients with advanced atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 454 patients with advanced atherosclerosis (median age, 69 years; 264 male). Cardiovascular risk prof...
متن کاملOverexpression of complement component C5a accelerates the development of atherosclerosis in ApoE-knockout mice
BACKGROUND In this study, we investigated the direct effect of C5a overexpression on atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS A recombinant adenovirus expressing mouse C5a (Ad-C5a) was constructed and injected intravenously into ApoE-/- mice. After 12 weeks of a high-fat diet, Ad-C5a injection produced more extensive lesions than control adenovirus, and its proathrosclerotic role was significantl...
متن کاملAsymmetric dimethylarginine predicts major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with advanced peripheral artery disease.
OBJECTIVE Circulating concentrations of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthesis, are elevated in conditions associated with increased cardiovascular risk. We investigated whether elevated ADMA concentrations predict major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with advanced peripheral artery disease (PAD). METHODS AND RESULTS We prospect...
متن کاملC-reactive protein predicts future cardiovascular events in patients with carotid stenosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Atherosclerosis is a systemic inflammatory disease. We demonstrated previously that high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is associated with short-term progression of carotid atherosclerosis. We now investigated whether baseline levels of hs-CRP predict midterm clinical outcome in these patients. METHODS We prospectively studied 1065 of 1268 consecutive patients ...
