Novel Risk Factors for Atherosclerosis
Epidemiologic studies demonstrated that the classical cardiovascular risk factors explain only a part of the increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Large scale studies have shown that novel cardiovascular risk factors, including increased plasma homocysteine, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein, uric acid levels, and increased white blood cells count as well as low adiponectin levels, mig...
متن کاملNovel Imaging Approaches for Predicting Arrhythmic Risk.
Determination of ventricular arrhythmic risk is crucial for guiding management of cardiac disease. Although for patients at increased risk an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator is recommended, it is widely acknowledged that current criteria for device use based predominantly on left ventricular ejection fraction are deficient. Genesis of ventricular arrhythmias involves a complex interactio...
متن کاملAssociation between the Risk Factors for Atherosclerosis and Diverticular Bleeding
Background and purpose: Diverticulosis is a major health problem in middle-aged and older adults. The cause of bleeding in the diverticulum is not clear, but arteriolar changes are considered as the main pathogenesis of diverticular bleeding. This study aimed at investigating the relationship between the risk factors for atherosclerosis and diverticular bleeding. Materials and methods: In this...
متن کاملPredicting Factors of Atherosclerosis in Children with Beta-Thalassemia Major
Background: Atherosclerosis is an important cardiovascular disorder in beta-thalassemia major patients. The present study aimed to predict factors of atherosclerosis in children with beta-thalassemia major. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 36 patients with beta-thalassemia major and 36 healthy children as the control group. The carotid intima-media thickness ...
متن کاملRisk factors for atherosclerosis in twins.
We performed multivariate genetic analyses of cardiovascular risk factors from two sets of data on US and Australian female twins. Similar models for body mass index (BMI), serum low density (LDL) and high density (HDL) lipoproteins, including age as a covariate, were fitted successfully to both groups. These suggested that BMI, or genes responsible for a significant proportion of the variance ...
