Depression Predicts All-Cause Mortality
OBJECTIVE Depression affects up to 20-25% of adults with type 2 diabetes and may increase all-cause mortality, but few well-designed studies have examined the effects of depression on the full range of cardiovascular disease outcomes in type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 2,053 participants in the ACCORD (Action to Control Cardiovascular Risk in Diabetes) Health-Related Qu...
متن کاملAbsence of coronary artery calcification and all-cause mortality.
OBJECTIVES We sought to quantify the mortality rates associated with absent and low positive (CAC 1 to 10) coronary artery calcium (CAC). BACKGROUND There is increasing interest in the absence of CAC as a "negative" cardiovascular risk factor. However, published event rates for individuals with no CAC vary, likely owing to differences in baseline risk, follow-up period, and outcome ascertainm...
متن کامل15-Year prognostic utility of coronary artery calcium scoring for all-cause mortality in the elderly.
INTRODUCTION Prior studies have demonstrated a decline in the predictive ability of conventional risk factors (RF) with advancing age, emphasizing the need for novel tools to improve risk stratification in the elderly. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a robust predictor of adverse cardiovascular events, but its long-term prognostic utility beyond RFs in elderly persons is unknown. METHO...
متن کاملCoronary artery calcium to predict all-cause mortality in elderly men and women.
OBJECTIVES We sought to study the prognostic utility of coronary artery calcium (CAC) in the elderly. BACKGROUND The prognostic significance of CAC in the elderly is not well known. METHODS All-cause mortality was assessed in 35,388 patients (3,570 were >or=70 years old at screening, and 50% were women) after a mean follow-up of 5.8 +/- 3 years. RESULTS In older patients, risk factors and...
متن کاملInfrarenal aortic diameter predicts all-cause mortality.
OBJECTIVE To assess the relationship between infrarenal aortic diameter and subsequent all-cause mortality in men aged 65 years or older. METHODS AND RESULTS Aortic diameter was measured using ultrasound in 12 203 men aged 65 to 83 years as part of a trial of screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms. A range of cardiovascular risk factors was also documented. Mortality over the next 3 to 7 ye...
