Triglyceride to HDL-C ratio and increased arterial stiffness in apparently healthy individuals.
OBJECTIVES High triglycerides and low high density lipoprotein cholesterol are important cardiovascular risk factors. Triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-C) has been reported to be useful in predicting cardiovascular disease. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is a valid and reproducible measurement by which to assess arterial stiffness and a surrogate mar...
متن کاملC-reactive protein is associated with arterial stiffness in apparently healthy individuals.
OBJECTIVE C-reactive protein (CRP) levels predict outcome in healthy individuals and patients with atherosclerosis. Arterial stiffness also independently predicts all-cause and cardiovascular mortality and may be involved in the process of atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between stiffness and inflammation in a cohort of healthy individuals. METHODS A...
متن کاملDefining Normal Liver Stiffness Range in a Normal Healthy Chinese Population without Liver Disease
BACKGROUND For patients with chronic liver disease, different optimal liver stiffness cut-off values correspond to different stages of fibrosis, which are specific for the underlying liver disease and population. AIMS To establish the normal ranges of liver stiffness in the healthy Chinese population without underlying liver disease. METHODS This is a prospective cross sectional study of 2,...
متن کاملInterleukin-12 is associated with arterial stiffness in healthy individuals.
BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a chronic inflammatory disease mediated by the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-18 (IL-18). Evidence suggests that IL-12 is dominant in early atherosclerosis, while IL-18 is critical in advanced atherosclerosis. In this study, we explore the association between IL-12 and IL-18 and arterial stiffness in he...
متن کاملHepatic fibrosis and factors associated with liver stiffness in HIV mono-infected individuals
BACKGROUND Liver disease has become an important cause of morbidity and mortality even in those HIV-infected individuals who are devoid of hepatitis virus co-infection. The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of hepatic fibrosis and the role of associated factors using liver stiffness measurement in HIV mono-infected patients without significant alcohol intake. METHODS We performed a...
