C-reactive protein, subclinical atherosclerosis, and risk of cardiovascular events.
C-reactive protein (CRP) is an independent determinant of risk of stroke among both men and women. For instance, in the Framingham Study, the relative risk for future stroke for the highest quartile of CRP compared with the lowest was 2.0 for men and 2.7 for women.1 The association between CRP and risk of stroke among men and women in this cohort persisted after adjustment for age, smoking, tot...
متن کاملMyeloperoxidase, subclinical atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease events.
OBJECTIVES We evaluated whether myeloperoxidase (MPO) predicts future cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in asymptomatic adults and whether subclinical atherosclerosis may affect this relation. BACKGROUND Myeloperoxidase is a leukocyte-derived enzyme-generating reactive oxidant species that has been shown to predict risk of CVD in selected populations. METHODS We studied 1,302 asymptomatic...
متن کاملSubclinical thyroid dysfunction as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
BACKGROUND There have been few large epidemiological studies examining the association between thyroid dysfunction and cardiovascular disease. In particular, it is uncertain if subclinical hypothyroidism is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. METHODS Serum thyrotropin and free thyroxine concentrations were measured in 2108 archived serum samples from a 1981 community health survey in Bu...
متن کاملsubclinical hypothyroidism and the alterations of lipid profile as a cardiovascular risk factor
the association between overt hypothyroidism and altered lipid profile is well known, whereas the significance of dyslipidemia in subclinical hypothyroidism (sch) is still a matter of debate. the aim of the present study was to evaluate the lipid profile in patients with sch in comparison to controls. serum lipid parameters of 34 patients with sch and 34 age- and sex-matched healthy controls we...
متن کاملSerum lipoprotein (a) as an atherosclerosis risk factor in men with androgenic alopecia
Background: The association between coronary artery disease and androgenic alopecia has been demonstrated, but few studies have focused on the mechanism of this association. The aim of this study was to evaluate the lipid profile in male pattern alopecia.Methods: In this case control study, 45 male patients with androgenic alopecia who were aged from 20 to 50 years and 45 men with a norma...
