Cardiovascular and Mortality Outcomes in the Elderly With Impaired Cardiac and Pulmonary Function: The Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS)
BACKGROUND Impaired pulmonary function (IPF) and left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) are prevalent in the elderly and are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The main objectives of this study were to examine the relative impact and joint association of IPF and LVSD with heart failure, cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality, and their impact on risk classifica...
متن کاملThe rate of leukocyte telomere shortening predicts mortality from cardiovascular disease in elderly men
Telomere length (TL) has been proposed as a marker of mitotic cell age and as a general index of human organismic aging. Short absolute leukocyte telomere length has been linked to cardiovascular-related morbidity and mortality. Our aim was to test whether the rate of change in leukocyte TL is related to mortality in a healthy elderly cohort. We examined a subsample of 236 randomly selected Cau...
متن کاملAortic pulse wave velocity predicts cardiovascular mortality in middle-aged and elderly Japanese men.
BACKGROUND Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is widely used as a noninvasive index of arterial stiffness and was used in the present study to investigate the relationship between PWV and cardiovascular mortality in the middle-aged and elderly Japanese population using a longitudinal study design. METHODS AND RESULTS From 1988 to 2003, a total of 3,960 men (50-69 years old at baseline) who unde...
متن کاملSerum p-cresyl sulfate predicts cardiovascular disease and mortality in elderly hemodialysis patients
INTRODUCTION Previous studies have shown that serum p-cresyl sulfate (PCS) and indoxyl sulfate (IS) were significantly related to clinical outcomes in patients on hemodialysis (HD). However, evidence for the relationship in elderly HD patients remains scarce. We explore whether the two toxins can predict clinical outcomes in elderly HD patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fifty stable HD patients m...
متن کاملQTc Dispersion Predicts Cardiac Mortality in the Elderly
Background—Increased QTc dispersion has been associated with an increased risk for ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac death in selected patient populations. We examined the association between computerized QTc-dispersion measurements and mortality in a prospective analysis of the population-based Rotterdam Study among men and women aged $55 years. Methods and Results—QTc dispersion was compute...
