Leg fat percentage correlates negatively with coronary atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Visceral fat is related to coronary atherosclerosis, but little is known about the relation between coronary atherosclerosis and percent body fat accumulated in different parts of the body. METHODS AND RESULTS The subjects were 100 consecutive patients with demonstrated electrocardiographic ischemic changes. Coronary atherosclerosis was assessed using Gensini's coronary score (CS),...
متن کاملWaist circumference correlates with metabolic syndrome indicators better than percentage fat.
OBJECTIVE Percent fat is often considered the reference for establishing the magnitude of adipose tissue accumulation and the risk of excess adiposity. However, the increasing recognition of a strong link between central adiposity and metabolic disturbances led us to test whether waist circumference (WC) is more highly correlated with metabolic syndrome components than percent fat and other rel...
متن کاملA study of iron status in patients with coronary atherosclerosis
Background: It has been demonstrated that free oxygen radicals have a close interaction with lipid peroxidation, causing a modification of low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and facilitating LDL deposition, with the consequent formation of atherosclerosis plaques. Free radical production is catalyzed and accelerated in the presence of iron. This study was conducted to evaluate the possible associ...
متن کاملNocturnal oxygen desaturation correlates with the severity of coronary atherosclerosis in coronary artery disease.
STUDY OBJECTIVES It has been suggested that sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is a risk factor for ischemic heart disease, and may be associated with increased morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study was to examine the relation between nocturnal oxygen desaturation (NOD) due to SDB and the Gensini score, which is given to define the severity of coronary ather...
متن کاملFrequency of Efficient Circulating Follicular Helper T Cells Correlates with Dyslipidemia and WBC Count in Atherosclerosis
Background: The significance of cTfh cells and their subsets in atherosclerosis is not well understood. We measured the frequency of cTfh subsets in patients with different degrees of stenosis using flow-cytometry. Methods: Participants included high (≥50%; n = 12) and low (<50%; n = 12) stenosis groups, as well as healthy controls (n = 6). Results: The frequency of CCR7loPD-1hiefficient-cTfh w...
