Hyperinsulinemia as an independent risk factor for ischemic heart disease.
BACKGROUND Prospective studies suggest that hyperinsulinemia may be an important risk factor for ischemic heart disease. However, it has not been determined whether plasma insulin levels are independently related to ischemic heart disease after adjustment for other risk factors, including plasma lipoprotein levels. METHODS In 1985 we collected blood samples from 2103 men from suburbs of Quebe...

It is, however, only recently that the importance of heart ratemeasurement as aprognostic factorhasbeen recognized in unselected healthy populations, patients with hypertension or coronary artery disease, after myocardial infarction, and i...
متن کاملHEART RATE AS A RISK FACTOR In CARDIAC DISEASE
There is a lot of evidence that elevated heart rate is an independent risk factor for mortality and morbidity in healthy individuals with and without hypertension and in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), acute myocardial infarction (AMI), and heart failure. Several large placebo-controlled trials of patients with AMI or heart failure have demonstrated that beta-blockers reduce mortal...
متن کاملHaptoglobin phenotype is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease in individuals with diabetes: The Strong Heart Study.
OBJECTIVES The goal of this study was to determine if the haptoglobin phenotype was predictive of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in diabetic mellitus (DM). BACKGROUND Cardiovascular disease is the most frequent, severe, and costly complication of type 2 DM. There are clear geographic and ethnic differences in the risk of CVD among diabetic patients that cannot be fully explained by differences ...
متن کاملIs lipoprotein(a) an independent risk factor for ischemic heart disease in men? The Quebec Cardiovascular Study.
OBJECTIVES This study was undertaken to determine whether lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is an independent risk factor for ischemic heart disease (IHD) and to establish the relation of Lp(a) to the other lipid fractions. BACKGROUND Several, but not all, studies have shown that elevated Lp(a) concentrations may be associated with IHD; very few have been prospective. METHODS A 5-year prospective foll...
