Pulse pressure and coronary atherosclerosis progression in postmenopausal women.
Pulse pressure, an index of large artery stiffness, has been associated with coronary events. However, mechanisms for this association remain unclear. In this study, we examined the relationship between pulse pressure and the progression of coronary atherosclerosis and the effects of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on pulse pressure in postmenopausal women with angiographically confirmed coro...
متن کاملDietary fats, carbohydrate, and progression of coronary atherosclerosis in postmenopausal women.
BACKGROUND The influence of diet on atherosclerotic progression is not well established, particularly in postmenopausal women, in whom risk factors for progression may differ from those for men. OBJECTIVE The objective was to investigate associations between dietary macronutrients and progression of coronary atherosclerosis among postmenopausal women. DESIGN Quantitative coronary angiograph...
متن کاملPulse pressure and cardiovascular events in postmenopausal women with coronary heart disease.
BACKGROUND Pulse pressure (PP) has been shown to predict risk for cardiovascular events in men; however, this association has not been well established in women. Hormone replacement therapy may improve arterial compliance, but findings from cross-sectional and prospective studies report inconsistent results. We sought to examine the relationship between PP and risk for cardiovascular events, an...
متن کاملProgression of coronary calcification in healthy postmenopausal women
BACKGROUND Coronary artery calcium score incrementally improves coronary risk prediction beyond that provided by conventional risk factors. Limited information is available regarding rates of progression of coronary calcification in women, particularly those with baseline scores above zero. Further, determinants of progression of coronary artery calcification in women are not well understood. T...
متن کاملFish intake is associated with a reduced progression of coronary artery atherosclerosis in postmenopausal women with coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Higher intakes of fish and n-3 fatty acids are associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. However, limited data exist on the effect of fish intake on actual measures of progression of coronary artery atherosclerosis. OBJECTIVE The aim was to examine the association between fish intake and the progression of coronary artery atherosclerosis in women with c...
