Brachial flow-mediated dilation predicts incident cardiovascular events in older adults: the Cardiovascular Health Study.
BACKGROUND The relationship between impaired brachial flow-mediated dilation (FMD) and subsequent clinical cardiovascular events is not well established, especially in older adults whose FMD is often diminished. We assessed the hypothesis that FMD predicts incident cardiovascular events in a population-based cohort of older adults. METHODS AND RESULTS FMD was measured at the 1997 to 1998 Card...

متن کاملGalectin-3 in Cardiovascular Disease
In the context of a declining rate of deaths due to coronary atherosclerosis, the prevention and management of heart failure (HF) have an emerging dominant role in cardiovascular care. Prognosis with HF is poor, with about 50% 4-year mortality (1), and definitive treatment is challenging, related in part to the heterogeneity of causes. Biomarkers linked to the onset and progression of HF are no...
متن کاملKidney function, electrocardiographic findings, and cardiovascular events among older adults.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with cardiovascular (CV) disease and mortality. It is not known whether cardiac rhythm disturbances are more prevalent among individuals with CKD or whether resting electrocardiogram findings predict future CV events in the CKD setting. Data were obtained from the Cardiovascular Health Study, a community-based study of adults aged >/=65 yr. After exclu...
متن کاملElevated aortic pulse wave velocity, a marker of arterial stiffness, predicts cardiovascular events in well-functioning older adults.
BACKGROUND Aging results in vascular stiffening and an increase in the velocity of the pressure wave as it travels down the aorta. Increased aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) has been associated with mortality in clinical but not general populations. The objective of this investigation was to determine whether aPWV is associated with total and cardiovascular (CV) mortality and CV events in a co...
