Platelets and cardiovascular risk
Acta Cardiologica, 2017Atherosclerosis and its late sequels are still the number one cause of death in Western societies. Platelets are a driving force not only during the genesis of atherosclerosis, but especially in its late stages, as evidenced by complications such as arterial thrombosis, myocardial infarction, and ischaemic stroke.

Erythropoietin and Cardiovascular Risk
Blood Purification, 2008We studied the changes in some cardiovascular risk (CVR) factors in 24 maintenance hemodialysis patients treated for 1 year with recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) either intravenously (12 cases) or subcutaneously (12 cases). In order to clarify whether changes in some parameters were due to direct action of rHuEPO or to changes in food intake ...

NSAIDs and cardiovascular risk
Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2017NSAIDs are the most largely used class of drugs in the world, due to their large use in many diseases, in particular for the systemic inflammatory diseases. Nevertheless, today NSAIDs are less used for some of these diseases, due to several side-effects correlated to these drugs. The antiinflammatory mechanism of NSAIDs consist in the inibhition of two

Rosiglitazone and cardiovascular risk
Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2008A meta-analysis of 42 clinical trials suggested that rosiglitazone, a widely used thiazolidinedione, was associated with a 43% greater risk of myocardial infarction (P = 0.03) and a 64% greater risk of cardiovascular death (P = 0.06). However, a number of criticisms have been raised that potentially undermine the conclusions of this analysis.

Albuminuria and cardiovascular risk
Hipertensión y Riesgo Vascular, 2023Cardiovascular risk (CVR) estimation is a fundamental tool for guiding therapy. Albuminuria indicates target organ damage in an accessible, economic and non-invasive manner. Improves high-risk patient identification, especially in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and diabetes mellitus (DM). In addition, anti-albuminuric treatments may improve CVR.

Obesity and cardiovascular risk
Growth Hormone & IGF Research, 2003In most industrialized countries, 40-60% of the population is now overweight or obese. Obesity has recently been recognized as a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, second only to cigarette smoking. Excess weight and obesity markedly increase the risk for hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease and congestive heart failure ...

Hyperuricemia and cardiovascular risk
High Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention, 2014There is an increasing prevalence of gout and hyperuricemia worldwide. Gout confers a significant individual and social burden and is increasingly recognized as a prevalent chronic disease state requiring appropriate long-term management. Gout and hyperuricemia appear to be independent risk factors for incident hypertension, renal disease and ...

Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk
Current Hypertension Reports, 2010Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of death worldwide. Usually atherosclerosis is caused by the combined effects of multiple risk factors. For this reason, most guidelines on the prevention of CVD stress the assessment of total CVD risk.

Fibrinogen and cardiovascular risk
Journal of Cardiovascular Risk, 1995Ischaemic heart disease and stroke are the major causes of death in the Western world. Established risk factors such as smoking, hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia explain only some of these events. Most myocardial infarctions and cardiac deaths are precipitated by acute occluding coronary thrombi, and it has been known for some time that ...

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2001
Cardiovascular disease mortality rates have decreased in men during the past 20 years, but have steadily increased in women. In the United States, >500,000 women die of coronary artery disease (CAD) every year. Although many factors can influence an individual's risk for CAD, some factors are unique to women, including reproductive status. Menopause is
