Mean postprandial triglyceride concentration is an independent risk factor for carotid atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes.
BACKGROUND Postprandial hypertriglyceridemia is a risk factor for atherosclerotic disease. However, the postprandial triglyceride (PTG) concentration fluctuates markedly and is poorly reproducible. The aim of this study was to determine whether the mean PTG (mean-PTG) concentration is a risk factor for carotid atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS We measured the fasting a...
متن کاملUric acid is an independent risk factor for carotid atherosclerosis in a Japanese elderly population without metabolic syndrome
BACKGROUND Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is an useful surrogate marker of cardiovascular disease. Associations between uric acid (UA), metabolic syndrome (MetS) and carotid IMT have been reported, but findings regarding the relationship have been inconsistent. METHODS A total of 1,579 Japanese elderly subjects aged ≥65 years {663 men aged, 78 ± 8 (mean ± standard deviation) years and 9...
متن کاملA common variant of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (Glu298Asp) is an independent risk factor for carotid atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Endothelium-derived NO is formed from L-arginine by endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) encoded by the NOS 3 gene on chromosome 7. Because several studies have indicated that NO plays a key role in the development of the atherosclerotic process, we investigated whether common variants in the eNOS gene are associated with an increased risk of plaque on carotid arteries. METHO...
متن کاملIs Intracranial Atherosclerosis an Independent Risk Factor for Cerebral Atrophy? A Retrospective Evaluation
BACKGROUND Our purpose was to study the association between the intracranial atherosclerosis as measured by cavernous carotid artery calcification (ICAC) observed on head CT and atrophic changes of supra-tentorial brain demonstrated by MRI. METHODS Institutional review board approval was obtained for this retrospective study incorporating 65 consecutive patients presenting acutely who had bot...
متن کاملInsulin resistance is an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis in rheumatoid arthritis.
The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Carotid artery intima media thickness (IMT), using ultrasound evaluation, and other clinical and laboratory variables were investigated in 45 RA outpatients and in 48 controls with soft tissue disorders. IR was assayed by hom...
