Original Contribution Low-Risk Lifestyle, Coronary Calcium, Cardiovascular Events, and Mortality: Results FromMESA
Unhealthy lifestyle habits are a major contributor to coronary artery disease. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the associations of smoking, weight maintenance, physical activity, and diet with coronary calcium, cardiovascular events, and mortality. US participants who were 44–84 years of age (n = 6,229) were followed in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis from 2000 to ...
متن کاملVisceral fat and coronary artery calcification in patients with chronic kidney disease.
BACKGROUND Abdominal fat is a metabolically active tissue which has been associated with cardiovascular events and death in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. We explore here the association between surrogates of abdominal fat and coronary artery calcium score (CACs). METHODS Cross-sectional analysis of 232 non-dialysis-dependent CKD patients Stages 3-5 (median age 60 [25th-75th percentil...
متن کاملCoronary artery calcium (CAC) score – a prognostic tool in coronary artery disease?
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of measurement of coronary artery calcification score (CAC) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and a normal myocardial perfusion scan. Methods: In a prospective study we measured the calcium score of 74 patients (29 m, 45 f, mean age 58.7 (m) and 64.4 (f)) with suspicion of CAD and a normal perfusion scan. In ...
متن کاملA dietary pattern derived to explain biomarker variation is strongly associated with the risk of coronary artery disease.
BACKGROUND In previous studies, dietary patterns were derived in different populations without regard to a specific outcome. OBJECTIVE The objective was to apply a new statistical method to construct a specific dietary pattern that is strongly associated with the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). DESIGN We applied reduced rank regression to a sample of 200 cases and 255 controls from t...
