Lung function and cardiovascular risk: a stiff challenge?
A lthough epidemiological evidence demonstrates an association between cardiovascular (CV) disease and impaired lung function that is independent of smoking, the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Aortic stiffness has emerged as a major independent predictor of CV risk in a number of population-based studies1 and an inverse association of lung function parameters and aortic stiffness using aor...
متن کاملEvidence of Lung Function for Stratification of Cardiovascular Disease Risk
Among adults in the United States, the prevalence of reduced lung function including obstructive and restrictive lung disease is about 20%, representing an over 40 million adults. Persons with reduced lung function often demonstrate chronic systemic inflammation, such as from elevated levels of C-reactive protein. Substantial data suggests that inflammation may have a significant role in the as...
متن کاملDeclining cardiovascular mortality.
IN THE 20 years prior to 1983 the overall death rate for the cardiovascular diseases declined an impressive 36% nationwide. The rate per year.declined in 18 of these years, declining 1.5% per year between 1963 and 1973 and 3.3% per year since then. Because this group of iiseases accounts for one-half of all deaths, a death rate that is 36% lower in 1982 than in 1963 translates into about 500,00...
متن کاملAssociation of lung function with declining ambient air pollution.
Recent studies have found a declining prevalence of respiratory infections in East German children, along with a tremendous improvement of air pollution since 1990. The present study evaluates the effects of improved air quality on lung function. Three consecutive cross-sectional surveys of schoolchildren ages 11-14 years from three communities in East Germany were performed in 1992-1993, 1995-...
متن کاملHomoarginine, kidney function and cardiovascular mortality risk.
BACKGROUND Homoarginine is a novel biomarker for cardiovascular diseases. In the present large cohort study, we evaluate how homoarginine is linked to kidney function and examine the potential interaction of homoarginine and kidney function as predictors of cardiovascular outcomes. METHODS Serum homoarginine (mean: 2.41 ± 1.05 µmol/L), cystatin C and creatinine-based estimated GFR (eGFR, mean...
