Telomeric g-tail length and hospitalization for cardiovascular events in hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Telomeric G-tails play a pivotal role in maintaining the intramolecular loop structure of telomeres. Previous in vitro studies have suggested that the erosion of telomeric G-tails triggers cellular senescence, leading to organ dysfunction and atherosclerosis. The authors recently established a method to measure telomeric G-tail length using a hybridization protection a...
متن کاملHeart Rate Variability Predicts Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events and Hospitalization in Maintenance Hemodialysis Patients.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Heart rate variability (HRV) has been linked to mortality in maintenance hemodialysis (HD) patients, but it is less clear whether HRV is associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) and hospitalization. METHODS This study enrolled 179 maintenance HD patients. HRV was measured to assess its prognostic significance in relation to MACEs and hospitalization. RESUL...
متن کاملLength polymorphism in heme oxygenase-1 and cardiovascular events and mortality in hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Persistent inflammation and oxidative stress play a pathogenic role in the high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality of hemodialysis patients. Heme oxygenase-1 is considered to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This study assessed the association between the length of guanosine thymidine dinucleotide repeats in the heme oxygenase-1 gene microsatellit...
متن کاملRosuvastatin and cardiovascular events in patients undergoing hemodialysis.
BACKGROUND Statins reduce the incidence of cardiovascular events in patients at high cardiovascular risk. However, a benefit of statins in such patients who are undergoing hemodialysis has not been proved. METHODS We conducted an international, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, prospective trial involving 2776 patients, 50 to 80 years of age, who were undergoing maintenance hemodialysis....
متن کاملGlycemic control and cardiovascular events in diabetic hemodialysis patients.
BACKGROUND Patients on maintenance dialysis treatment experience an excess mortality, predominantly of sudden cardiac death. Poor glycemic control is associated with cardiovascular comorbidities in the general population. This study investigated the impact of glycemic control on cardiac and vascular outcomes in diabetic hemodialysis patients. METHODS AND RESULTS Glycohemoglobin A1c (HbA(1c)) ...
