Additive prognostic value of gamma-glutamyltransferase in coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND Serum gamma-glutamyltransferase activity (GGT) has been documented as an independent cardiovascular risk factor. However, to-date its value has not been compared with C-reactive protein (CRP) and other indexes in a multimarker prognostic strategy in patients with coronary artery disease. METHODS We prospectively evaluated 474 subjects with angiographically documented CAD. GGT and t...
متن کاملEvaluation of iron status in patients with coronary artery disease
Background: Iron can causes lipid peroxidation in vivo and in vitro. Iron promotes myocardial injury in experimental animals. Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation by oxidants including iron have a central role in atherosclerotic process. By this means, evaluation of serum iron in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) has a significant importance. Materials and Methods: In this cross s...
متن کاملAssociation of serum gamma-glutamyltransferase and premature coronary artery disease
BACKGROUND Serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) has been introduced as a predictive factor for cardiovascular disease. In this study, we investigated the association of serum GGT and premature coronary artery disease (CAD) in candidates for coronary angiography. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, we enrolled male subjects aged ≤45 years and female subjects ≤55 years who were candidates f...
متن کاملthe role of type-d personality, social support and self-compassion in prediction of health behaviors in coronary heart disease patients
نظر به اهمیت و تاثیر روزافزون عوامل روانی – اجتماعی در سلامت جسمی و تاثیر عوامل روان شناختی در بروز بیماریهای مختلف از جمله بیماریهای قلبی و عروقی این پژوهش با هدف کلی بررسی ارتباط تیپ شخصیتی d ، حمایت اجتماعی و خود دلسوزی در پیش بینی رفتارهای بهداشتی بیماران کرونر قلبی و تعیین تفاوت بین بیماران کرونر قلبی با و بدون جراحی و افراد سالم در این متغیرها و رفتارهای بهداشتی آنان، انجام گرفت. جامعه آ...
15 صفحه اولAssociation of serum gamma-glutamyltransferase with arterial stiffness in established coronary artery disease.
Serum gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) has been reported to predict vascular risk. We enrolled 978 patients (507 men and 471 women) with established coronary artery disease (CAD). The GGT, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity ([baPWV] to assess arterial stiffness), and conventional risk factors were evaluated. The means of baPWV tend to increase in both genders according to GGT tertiles. Body mass...
