Relationship of Total Homocysteine, Cholesterol, Triglyceride in the Serum and Diastolic Blood Pressure of Patients with Myocardial Infarction

Recent studies have documented the importance of lipids and lipoproteins as determinants of serum total homocysteine concentrations in persons with myocardial infarction, and in healthy subjects. Associations between various biological systems and total homocysteine have also been reported. However, some of these associations are poorly understood. The purpose of our study was to measure serum ...

رابطه بین هموسیستیین پلاسما و فشار خون در بیماران مبتلا به دیابت نوع دو

Background: Hyperhomocysteinemia may increase blood pressure by inducing endothelial cells dysfunction . The aim of this study was determining the relationship between plasma Homocysteine (Hcy) levels and blood pressure in new cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods: As a cross sectional study, 46 new cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus referred to Isfahan Endocrine and Metabolism Research Cent...

بررسی عوامل موثر بر سطح پلاسمایی هوموسیستیین تام در جمعیت شهری 64-25 ساله ساکن پایگاه تحقیقات جمعیتی دانشگاه علوم پزشکی تهران: مطالعه هوموسیستیین تهران (1382-1383)

Background: Elevated total plasma Homocysteine, is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Folate and vitamin B12 have not only a protective effect on cardiovascular disease but also an essential effect on total Homocysteine concentrations (tHcy). This survey has been conducted to evaluate the determinants of tHcy in 1191 healthy Iranian adults. Methods: This study which was a p...

Relationship between some indices of cardiovascular functions and pulse pressure as a predictor index for heart diseases: a case-control study

Background: Pulse pressure has recently been considered as a predictor of coronary heart disease. The difference between systolic and diastolic blood pressure is called pulse pressure. Various factors including increased age, vascular stiffness, stenosis, and hypertension are associated with pulse pressure. The present study, therefore, aimed to investigate the relationship between some cardiov...
