Hypertension during pregnancy is associated with coronary artery calcium independent of renal function.
BACKGROUND Hypertension during pregnancy (HDP) increases the risk of future coronary heart disease (CHD), but it is unknown whether this association is mediated by renal injury. Reduced renal function is both a complication of HDP and a risk factor for CHD. METHODS Logistic regression models were fit to examine the association between a history of HDP and the presence and extent of coronary a...
متن کاملFerritin is independently associated with the presence of coronary artery calcium in 12,033 men.
OBJECTIVE Ferritin concentrations are often increased in patients with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus, but few reports have examined the associations between ferritin and atherosclerosis. We investigated whether any relationship between ferritin and coronary artery calcium score (CACS) >0 (as a marker of atherosclerosis) was independent of potential confounders, such as iron-bi...
متن کاملRenal function is independently associated with circulating betatrophin
OBJECTIVE Betatrophin has been identified as a marker linking liver with beta cell function and lipid metabolism in murine models. Until now, the regulation of circulating betatrophin in humans is not entirely clear. We here analyzed the relation of betatrophin levels to phenotypes of the metabolic syndrome and speculated that renal function might influence circulating betatrophin levels and ex...

متن کاملNeck circumference is independently associated with relative systemic hypertension in young adults with sickle cell anaemia
Background A seemingly interesting observation in patients with sickle cell anaemia (SCA) is that they usually have lower systemic blood pressures (BP) and insulin resistance than persons in the general population in spite of chronic inflammation and vasculopathy. However, relative systemic hypertension (rHTN) has been linked to pulmonary hypertension, increased blood viscosity and renal insuff...
