Background—Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) is an accurate test for the identification of coronary artery disease (CAD), yet the impact of the CCTA results upon subsequent medical therapy and risk factors has not been widely reported. Methods and Results—We identified consecutive patients >18 years of age without prior CAD who underwent CCTA from 2004 – 2011 and had complete data...
BACKGROUND High prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors has been observed in Spain along with low incidence of acute myocardial infarction. Our objective was to determine the trends of cardiovascular risk factor prevalence between 1995 and 2005 in the 35-74-year-old population of Gerona, Spain. DESIGN Comparison of cross-sectional studies were conducted in random population samples in 1995,...

The use of cardiovascular medications can have a variety of neuropsychiatric consequences. Many cardiovascular agents cause higher rates of fatigue and sedation than placebo, and case reports of medication-induced mood syndromes, psychosis, and cognitive disturbances exist for many cardiovascular drugs. Depression has been associated with P3-blockers, methyldopa, and reserpine, but more recent ...
OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate whether a low-fat vegan diet improves glycemic control and cardiovascular risk factors in individuals with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Individuals with type 2 diabetes (n = 99) were randomly assigned to a low-fat vegan diet (n = 49) or a diet following the American Diabetes Association (ADA) guidelines (n = 50). Participants were evaluated a...
Hepatic lipase (HL) plays a central role in LDL and HDL remodeling. High HL activity is associated with small, dense LDL particles and with reduced HDL2 cholesterol levels. HL activity is determined by an HL gene promoter polymorphism, by gender (lower in premenopausal women), and by visceral obesity with insulin resistance. The activity is affected by dietary fat intake and selected medication...
C ardiovascular disease is the main complication experienced by elderly individuals with diabetes (1). Despite randomized trials showing the benefits of individual (2–4) or combined (5) pharmacological treatments of cardiovascular risk factors in diabetes, observational studies have shown suboptimal use of medications (6–8). However, little is known about the use of cardioprotective medication ...
BACKGROUND Nursing home patients generally take many medications and are at risk for drug side effects and interactions. These patients are often frail, have multiple medical problems, and many have severe cognitive deficits. METHODS Recommendations for reducing polypharmacy in nursing home patients were formulated based upon a review of the medical literature. In many cases, studies of nursi...
BACKGROUND High-quality systems have adopted a comprehensive approach to preventive care instead of diagnosis or procedure driven care. The current emphasis on prescribing medications to prevent complications of coronary artery disease (CAD) at discharge following an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) may exclude high-risk patients who are hospitalized with conditions other than ACS. METHODS Among...
