Glycemic control and cardiovascular events in diabetic hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Patients on maintenance dialysis treatment experience an excess mortality, predominantly of sudden cardiac death. Poor glycemic control is associated with cardiovascular comorbidities in the general population. This study investigated the impact of glycemic control on cardiac and vascular outcomes in diabetic hemodialysis patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Glycohemoglobin A1c (HbA(1c)) ...
متن کاملValue of serum pregnancy-associated plasma protein A for predicting cardiovascular events among patients presenting with cardiac chest pain.
BACKGROUND Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) has been suggested as a candidate marker for the identification of unstable plaques in coronary arteries. We assessed the value of PAPP-A for predicting short-term cardiovascular events in a large cohort of patients presenting with cardiac chest pain. METHODS We included consecutive patients who presented to a teaching hospital in Germ...

gle cause of death in the Western world. Patients with coronary artery disease cycle between asymptomatic phases, episodes of progressive angina and acute coronary syndromes. Cardiac troponin levels have a high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of non-STsegment elevation myocardial infarction. However, a large number of patients at risk of major coronary events do not present with my...
متن کاملPregnancy-associated plasma protein A as an independent mortality predictor in long-term hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) is a biomarker related to vascular damage. The aim of the study was to focus on PAPP-A and related parameters and their relationship to the prognosis of long-term hemodialysis (HD) patients. METHODS This is a prospective observational cohort study which included 261 long-term HD patients followed up for 5 years and 66 healthy subj...
متن کاملEVALUATION OF METABOLIC PROFILE OF PLASMA AMINO ACIDS IN DIABETIC PATIENTS WITH CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES
Background: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine diseases. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death in patients with type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the metabolic profile of plasma amino acids in diabetic patients with cardiovascular disease. Methods: The present study is a descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study on 140 ...
