Osteopontin is associated with increased arterial stiffness in rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients are characterized by increased arterial stiffness, an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk. It has been suggested that osteopontin (OPN), a cytokine involved in RA pathogenesis, might have vascular effects. To study a possible relationship between OPN and arterial stiffness, aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured by tonometry in 69 patients (41 ...
متن کاملVitamin D Level is Associated with Increased Left Ventricular Mass and Arterial Stiffness in Older Patients with Impaired Renal Function
BACKGROUND Impaired renal function is common among older patients. Deficiency of vitamin D is a frequent phenomenon among patients with impaired renal function, who are likely to develop cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to explore the association of 25 (OH) D levels with left ventricular mass and arterial stiffness in older patients with impaired renal function. MATERIAL AND METHODS Ba...
متن کاملSeverity of Osteoarthritis Is Associated with Increased Arterial Stiffness
Objective. Osteoarthritis (OA) is associated with increased cardiovascular comorbidity and mortality. Evidence is lacking about whether arterial stiffness is involved in OA. The objective of our study was to find out associations between OA, arterial stiffness, and adipokines. Design. Seventy end-stage knee and hip OA patients (age 62 ± 7 years) and 70 asymptomatic controls (age 60 ± 7 years) w...
متن کاملRenal function is associated with arterial stiffness and predicts outcome in patients with coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness (AS) is associated, and a predictor of, outcome in patients with cardiovascular and renal disease. AIM In this study, we estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and measured indices of AS in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), and assessed their predictive value on outcome. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. METHODS AS was measured using ...
متن کاملLung Function Is Associated with Arterial Stiffness in Children
BACKGROUND In older adults, an independent association exists between impaired lung function and cardiovascular disease. This interaction might be related to the effects of aging and/or smoking. In order to explore possible childhood antecedents to this association, we hypothesized that decreased lung function and vascular stiffness might be related, in early life. OBJECTIVE To determine the ...
