Lung function and cardiovascular risk: a stiff challenge?
A lthough epidemiological evidence demonstrates an association between cardiovascular (CV) disease and impaired lung function that is independent of smoking, the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Aortic stiffness has emerged as a major independent predictor of CV risk in a number of population-based studies1 and an inverse association of lung function parameters and aortic stiffness using aor...
متن کاملEvidence of Lung Function for Stratification of Cardiovascular Disease Risk
Among adults in the United States, the prevalence of reduced lung function including obstructive and restrictive lung disease is about 20%, representing an over 40 million adults. Persons with reduced lung function often demonstrate chronic systemic inflammation, such as from elevated levels of C-reactive protein. Substantial data suggests that inflammation may have a significant role in the as...
متن کاملHomoarginine, kidney function and cardiovascular mortality risk.
BACKGROUND Homoarginine is a novel biomarker for cardiovascular diseases. In the present large cohort study, we evaluate how homoarginine is linked to kidney function and examine the potential interaction of homoarginine and kidney function as predictors of cardiovascular outcomes. METHODS Serum homoarginine (mean: 2.41 ± 1.05 µmol/L), cystatin C and creatinine-based estimated GFR (eGFR, mean...
متن کاملCystatin C, renal function, and cardiovascular risk.
Because all the patients had chronic kidney disease (CKD) (GFR <55 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 ), this study cannot be used to assert that cystatin C is definitively better than creatinine for detecting stage 3 kidney disease (GFR <60 mL/min per 1.73 m 2 ). Regarding the study methods, the authors do not mention when cystatin C was measured in the frozen samples. Were the samples measured retrospective...
متن کاملArterial function and cardiovascular risk in dialysis
Forty years ago, Lowrie et al. (1) predicted that if a dialysis patient had survived long enough, the cause of his death would be cardiovascular disease (CV). In fact, several traditional and non-traditional factors cause an increase in CV mortality in dialysis patients (2). The patient on dialysis is often an old subject with hypertension, dyslipidemia, left ventricular hypertrophy, diabetes, ...
