The effect of social isolation, loneliness, and low social support on cardiovascular events
… lack of these relationships together with cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of death worldwide. Disrupted quality or quantity of social interactions may lead to poor health. Recent studies show that social isolation, loneliness, and poor social support are associated with …

Blood Pressure Variability and Ambulatory Arterial Stiffness Index in Predicting Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events
… index (AASI) are associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including stroke, transient ischaemic attack, acute coronary syndrome and cardiovascular (CV) death. However, the prognostic value of AASI and BPV in the same population has not been previously investigated. Aim: To …

The Association Between Depressive Symptoms And Cardiovascular Events In African American Adults With Diabetes Mellitus
… the association of depressive symptoms and cardiovascular events among African American adults with diabetes. The overall goal of this research study is to contribute vital information towards describing how depressive symptoms and cardiovascular risk factors could act as predictors of …

Targeting psychosocial factors in cardiac rehabilitation of young women to reduce cardiovascular events following myocardial infarction
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for the highest mortality rates in the US for both men and women. Yet, heart disease continues to be under recognized in women. Notably, the incidence of myocardial infarction and related mortality rates are higher in younger women than their male counterparts. …

Age and gender differences in risk factor burden, myocardial dysfunction and cardiovascular events in relation to glucose metabolism
The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and heart failure (HF) among individuals with diabetes is at least two times greater than in non-diabetic subjects. However, the excess risk of CVD in diabetic subjects seems to decrease with age. As the majority of patients with diabetes, CVD and HF are …

Cardiovascular events and mortality in systemic sclerosis: A study of the effect of Iloprost on these and on disease progression: The SSTEP Study (Systemic Sclerosis Trial of Events and Progression)
… with significant mortality and morbidity. Cardiovascular causes are the single largest contributor to premature death. To date, much of the focus on managing the care of SSc patients has concentrated on traditional risk factors related to fibrotic and microvascular dysfunction. There is, …

Parity and Cardiovascular Disease
… is associated with increased risk for clinical cardiovascular events although there are no data on the effects on central aortic stiffness or remodelling. We examined the relationship between live births and central aortic pressure indices, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based measures of …

The effect of patient warming on perioperative cardiovascular outcomes in interventional clinical trials: A systematic review and meta-analysis
BACKGROUND: Perioperative cardiovascular events are a common contributor to perioperative morbidity and mortality. Patient warming affects the cardiovascular system in various ways and may protect against cardiovascular events. We aimed to estimate the effect of active patient warming on …

HIGH SENSITIVITY C-REACTIVE PROTEIN AND RISK OF STROKE IN ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: THE REASONS FOR GEOGRAPHIC AND RACIAL DIFFERENCES IN STROKE (REGARDS) STUDY
… of systemic inflammation, is a predictor of cardiovascular events in the general population. We compared the association between hs-CRP level and subsequent stroke events in in individuals with and without atrial fibrillation (AF) in the REGARDS study.

Lyso-PC and macrophage interplay. Scavenging through the fatty side of atherosclerosis
… monocyte subpopulation was shown to predict cardiovascular events. Today, the treatments available reduce the risk of cardiovascular events by approximately 40%. To further reduce the risk, more accurate treatments have to be designed. These treatments need to selectively modulate …

The Effects of Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Inhibition on High Density Lipoprotein Function
Cardiovascular disease affects about 1.4 million Australians and was responsible for more than 45000 deaths in 2011. Compelling evidence from human population studies has shown a positive correlation between elevated plasma high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels and a reduced risk of …

Metabolite Profiling: Correlates and Associations with Incident Cardiovascular Outcomes
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, posing a great burden to human health and public health resources. Recent advances in comprehensive high-throughput metabolomics techniques have opened opportunities for the large-scale discovery of novel …

Effet des statines sur les maladies cardiovasculaires chez les personnes âgées de 75 ans et plus
Introduction: As the population ages the rate of cardiovascular events is continually increasing. Compared to younger, people aged 75 and over are three times more susceptible to cardiovascular complications. According to Canadian guidelines statins are recommended for the prevention of …

Biomarkers of Cardiovascular Disease in Renal Transplant Recipients
Background:<br/>Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of premature mortality in renal transplant recipients. Predicting the risk of future cardiovascular events in this patient cohort is challenging due to the prevalence of non-traditional risk factors. Biomarkers of cardiovascular disease have …

Cost-effectiveness analysis of alternative statin prescribing strategies for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease at a South African public sector tertiary hospital
… whether interventions aimed at preventing cardiovascular disease are not only effective, but cost effective too. Cost-effectiveness analyses compare interventions in terms of both their costs and consequences and are a useful tool for policymakers. Statins reduce the risk of cardiovascular …
