Hyperinsulinemia, a major indicator of insulin resistance, may exert its influence on the risk of coronary artery disease partially through disturbances of the hemostatic system. The relations of fasting insulin concentrations with the degree of coronary atherosclerosis, other coronary risk factors (including some markers of the insulin resistance syndrome such as body mass index and triglyceri...
متن کاملThe Relation between beliefs about medicines and treatment adherence among patient with Coronary artry disease
Objective: Adherence to drug treatment in patients with coronary artery disease is very important because of the need for long-term use of drugs and the consequences of non-adherence. Several factors may play a role in drug adherence. In this study, the effect of drug therapy-related beliefs on adherence to drug therapy in patients with coronary artery disease was investigated. Material and Met...
متن کاملHaemostatic factors and the risk of cardiovascular death in patients with coronary artery disease: the AtheroGene study.
OBJECTIVE To get a better insight into the role of hemostasis in coronary artery disease (CAD), we assessed the impact of von Willebrand factor (vWF), fibrinogen, thrombin-antithrombin (TAT) complexes, D-dimers, and plasmin-antiplasmin (PAP) complexes on the risk of cardiovascular event in a prospective cohort of CAD patients. METHODS AND RESULTS The prospective Atherogene cohort includes 105...
