Subclinical cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal women with low/medium cardiovascular risk by the Framingham risk score.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prevalence of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) and its association with clinical and hormone variables in postmenopausal women from Southern Brazil. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Coronary artery calcification (CAC) assessed by electron-beam computed tomography. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and atheromatous plaques assess...

Introduction: The study was carried out to assess the incidence of cardiovascular risk factors in an Iranian young population. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 137 students (42 male and 95 female, mean age: 21.99±1.54) of Hormozgan University of Medical Sciences in Bandar Abbas, Iran from January 2008 to December 2009. A questionnaire was used to collect the data. The...
متن کاملCalcium supplementation and risk of cardiovascular disease.
With the outcome to demonstrate the efficacy of calcium to prevent the incidence of fractures many randomized controlled trials have been performed in the past two decades, with conflicting results. A RR of 0.86 for non-vertebral fractures and a RR of 0.91 for hip fractures on eight trials were demonstrated. Calcium supplementation is considered particularly important when baseline calcium inta...
متن کاملEffect of Vitamin Supplementation on Serum Oxidized Low-Density Lipoprotein Levels in Male Subjects with Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors
Objective(s) Oxidized low-density lipoproteins (ox-LDLs) appear to play a significant role in atherogenesis. In fact, circulating ox-LDL concentrations have been recognized as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). The main objectives of this study were to assess the effects of antioxidant vitamins on ox-LDL as a biomarker of CVD in male subjects with CVD risk factors. Materials and ...
متن کاملFramingham Risk Score with Cardiovascular Events in Chronic Kidney Disease
The Framingham Risk Score (FRS) was developed to predict coronary heart disease in various populations, and it tended to under-estimate the risk in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Our objectives were to determine whether FRS was associated with cardiovascular events, and to evaluate the role of new risk markers and echocardiographic parameters when they were added to a FRS model. This st...
