متن کاملFibrosis-related biomarkers and incident cardiovascular disease in older adults: the cardiovascular health study.
BACKGROUND Fibrotic changes in the heart and arteries have been implicated in a diverse range of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), but whether circulating biomarkers that reflect fibrosis are associated with CVD is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We determined the associations of 2 biomarkers of fibrosis, transforming growth factor- β (TGF-β), and procollagen type III N-terminal propeptide (PIIINP)...
متن کاملSubclinical cardiovascular disease in older adults: insights from the Cardiovascular Health Study.
Knowledge about the epidemiology of subclinical cardiovascular disease (SCVD) in older adults may hold the key for improved opportunities for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), a top clinical and public health priority. This review reports findings on the prevalence of SCVD and the ability of SCVD measures to predict incident and adverse outcomes from one of the largest (N=5888...
متن کاملCardiovascular magnetic resonance in adults with previous cardiovascular surgery.
Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a versatile non-invasive imaging modality that serves a broad spectrum of indications in clinical cardiology and has proven evidence. Most of the numerous applications are appropriate in patients with previous cardiovascular surgery in the same manner as in non-surgical subjects. However, some specifics have to be considered. This review article is int...
متن کاملAlcohol consumption and subclinical findings on magnetic resonance imaging of the brain in older adults: the cardiovascular health study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Subclinical findings on MRI of the brain are associated with poorer cognitive and neurological function among older adults. We sought to determine how alcohol consumption is related to these findings. METHODS As part of the Cardiovascular Health Study, 3660 adults aged 65 years and older underwent MRI of the brain from 1992 to 1994. We excluded 284 participants with a c...
