Waist-hip ratio is a practical and valid predictor of CAD risk.
We were interested to read the recent commentary provided by Dr. Bronson regarding the practical value of waist–hip ratio (WHR) for office-based prediction of risk for heart disease (1). Although we wholeheartedly agree that such measures as computed tomography (CT), as shown by Goodpaster and colleagues (2), may be superior in quantifying visceral adipose tissue and hence better able to predic...
متن کاملHigh population attributable fractions of myocardial infarction associated with waist–hip ratio
OBJECTIVE To estimate population attributable fractions (PAF) of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) associated with anthropometric measures by sex and age. METHODS The Cohort of Norway study identified 140,790 participants free of cardiovascular disease, 1994-2003. Participants were followed for AMI through 2009 by record linkages through the Cardiovascular Disease in Norway Project. PAFs were...
متن کاملPlatelet-To-Lymphocyte Ratio as a Predictor of No-Reflow after Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients with ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Introduction: No-reflow increases the complications and mortality rate of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Therefore, it is important to identify patients at a higher risk of developing no-reflow. This study aimed to systematically review the prognostic value of the platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) to predict no-reflow. Materials and Methods:</s...
متن کاملHeart Rate Turbulence as Risk-Predictor after Myocardial Infarction
Heart rate turbulence (HRT) is the baroreflex-mediated short-term oscillation of cardiac cycle lengths after spontaneous ventricular premature complexes. HRT is composed of a brief heart rate acceleration followed by a gradual heart rate deceleration. In high risk patients after myocardial infarction (MI) HRT is blunted or diminished. Since its first description in 1999 HRT emerged as one of th...
متن کاملEvaluation of the role of opium addiction in acute myocardial infarction as a risk factor
Background: More than half of myocardial infracted (MI) patients have no conventional risk factors. Regarding the belief that opium addiction has a protective effect on heart diseases, addiction prevalence has unfortunately increased in recent years. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of opium addiction on patients with acute myocardial infarction. Methods: This case-control stu...
