Triglycerides and Cardiovascular Risk [PDF]

Current Cardiology Reviews, 2009
In 1996 a meta-analysis was published showing that an increase in plasma triglyceride (TG) levels was associated with an increase in CHD risk, even after adjustment for high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. Very recently, two studies were published that further extent the early observation and showed the importance of nonfasting plasma ...

Arterial Stiffness and Cardiovascular Risk in Hypertension.

Circulation Research, 2021
Arterial stiffness, a leading marker of risk in hypertension, can be measured at material or structural levels, with the latter combining effects of the geometry and composition of the wall, including intramural organization.

Elevated hemostasis markers after pneumonia increases one-year risk of all-cause and cardiovascular deaths [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Acceleration of chronic diseases, particularly cardiovascular disease, may increase long-term mortality after community-acquired pneumonia (CAP), but underlying mechanisms are unknown. Persistence of the prothrombotic state that occurs during

Sudden Fall in the Lipid-Lowering Effect of Evolocumab: The Butler Is Not Always Guilty

Medicina, 2021
A 78-year-old man came to our attention after undergoing coronary computed tomography angiography documenting multivessel coronary artery disease. He was started on treatment with the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitor ...

Is there a role for thoracic aortic calcium to fine-tune cardiovascular risk prediction? [PDF]

, 2012
Screening asymptomatic subjects to streamline measures for the prevention of cardiovascular events remains a major challenge. The established primary prevention risk-scoring methods use equations derived from large prospective cohort studies, but further

Cardiovascular risk [PDF]

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 2012
Cardiovascular disease is a major, growing, worldwide problem. It is important that individuals at risk of developing cardiovascular disease can be effectively identified and appropriately stratified according to risk. This review examines what we understand by the term risk, traditional and novel risk factors, clinical scoring systems, and the use of ...

C-reactive protein: associations with haematological variables, cardiovascular risk factors and prevalent cardiovascular disease [PDF]

, 2003
C-reactive protein (CRP) has been proposed as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease; however, this association is confounded by mutual relationships with both classical and haematological cardiovascular risk factors. We, therefore, measured CRP with a

Non-HDL cholesterol predicts coronary heart disease in primary prevention: findings from an Italian a 40-69 year-old cohort in general practice

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2004
Scopo. La frazione lipoproteica denominata “colesterolo non-HDL” viene raccomandata come un indice di rischio coronarico (RC) associata alla dislipidemia combinata ed è stata trovata un utile fattore predittivo del rischio coronarico nei pazienti ...

Circulating linoleic acid at the time of myocardial infarction and risk of primary ventricular fibrillation

Scientific Reports, 2022
Primary ventricular fibrillation (PVF) is a major driver of cardiac arrest in the acute phase of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Enrichment of cardiomyocyte plasma membranes with dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) reduces ...
