The hypertriglyceridemic-waist phenotype is associated with the Framingham risk score and subclinical atherosclerosis in Canadian Cree.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS For primary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD), Canadian guidelines recommend that asymptomatic Canadians with abdominal obesity undergo Framingham risk score (FRS) assessment, and that in Indigenous Peoples, indicators of metabolic syndrome also be used to identify at-risk individuals. The hypertriglyceridemic-waist phenotype (HTGW) has been proposed to be a surroga...

متن کاملSubclinical hypothyroidism and risk to carotid atherosclerosis.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess whether subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is associated with carotid atherosclerosis, as well as dyslipidemia, and arterial hypertension. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The study included 69 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed SCH, and 30 matched healthy controls.

متن کاملFramingham risk score and early markers of atherosclerosis in a cohort of adults infected with HIV.
BACKGROUND The utility of the Framingham risk score among individuals infected with HIV is poorly understood. We examined the association of Framingham risk scores with surrogate markers of atherosclerosis in a carefully characterized cohort of adults infected with HIV. METHODS We calculated Framingham risk scores and measured carotid intima-media thickness (c-IMT) and coronary artery calcium...
