Ferritin is independently associated with the presence of coronary artery calcium in 12,033 men.
OBJECTIVE Ferritin concentrations are often increased in patients with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus, but few reports have examined the associations between ferritin and atherosclerosis. We investigated whether any relationship between ferritin and coronary artery calcium score (CACS) >0 (as a marker of atherosclerosis) was independent of potential confounders, such as iron-bi...
متن کاملHypoadiponectinemia is associated with coronary artery spasm in men.
BACKGROUND The relationship between adiponectin and coronary spastic angina (CSA), both of which are closely involved in coronary endothelial dysfunction, has not been elucidated. METHODS AND RESULTS Plasma adiponectin concentrations were examined in 55 men with CSA and 55 with chest pain syndrome (CPS). The plasma log-adiponectin levels were significantly lower in patients with CSA than with...
متن کاملFactors Associated with Medication Adherence in Coronary Artery Patients
Abstract: Introduction: Medication adherence plays an important role in preventing the worsening of cardiovascular disease. Some factors associated with medication adherence are still unknown. Objective: This study aimed to determine the factors related to medication adherence in patients with coronary artery disease. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was performed on...
متن کاملAsymptomatic hyperuricemia is independently associated with coronary artery calcification in the absence of overt coronary artery disease
Recently, the pathogenic role of uric acid (UA) in both systemic metabolic and atherosclerotic diseases has been investigated. We sought to determine the independent correlation between serum UA levels and coronary artery calcification, as a marker of subclinical atherosclerosis. A total of 4188 individuals without prior coronary artery disease or urate-deposition disease were included. All of ...
متن کاملCoronary artery calcium (CAC) score – a prognostic tool in coronary artery disease?
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of measurement of coronary artery calcification score (CAC) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and a normal myocardial perfusion scan. Methods: In a prospective study we measured the calcium score of 74 patients (29 m, 45 f, mean age 58.7 (m) and 64.4 (f)) with suspicion of CAD and a normal perfusion scan. In ...
