Risk factors for peripheral atherosclerosis. Retrospective evaluation by stepwise discriminant analysis.
To evaluate the optimal discriminators for peripheral atherosclerosis, we studied retrospectively 49 male patients and 39 male controls between 40 and 60 years of age. In addition to hypertension, cigarette smoking, diabetes mellitus, and hyperuricemia, we determined the most common lipids, lipoproteins, and apolipoproteins. Highly significant differences of median values between patients and c...
متن کاملLipids and other risk factors selected by discriminant analysis in symptomatic patients with supra-aortic and peripheral atherosclerosis.
BACKGROUND Different patterns of risk factors might be related to the involvement of specific vascular districts by atherosclerosis. In this sense, many investigations have addressed coronary artery disease, whereas extracoronary atherosclerosis has received less extensive attention. METHODS AND RESULTS Vascular risk factors, with particular attention to lipid parameters (total cholesterol [T...
متن کاملStepwise Nearest Neighbor Discriminant Analysis
Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is a popular feature extraction technique in statistical pattern recognition. However, it often suffers from the small sample size problem when dealing with the high dimensional data. Moreover, while LDA is guaranteed to find the best directions when each class has a Gaussian density with a common covariance matrix, it can fail if the class densities are more ...
متن کاملAssociation between the Risk Factors for Atherosclerosis and Diverticular Bleeding
Background and purpose: Diverticulosis is a major health problem in middle-aged and older adults. The cause of bleeding in the diverticulum is not clear, but arteriolar changes are considered as the main pathogenesis of diverticular bleeding. This study aimed at investigating the relationship between the risk factors for atherosclerosis and diverticular bleeding. Materials and methods: In this...
متن کاملNovel Risk Factors for Atherosclerosis
Epidemiologic studies demonstrated that the classical cardiovascular risk factors explain only a part of the increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Large scale studies have shown that novel cardiovascular risk factors, including increased plasma homocysteine, fibrinogen, C-reactive protein, uric acid levels, and increased white blood cells count as well as low adiponectin levels, mig...
