Homocysteine levels and treatment effect in the prospective study of pravastatin in the elderly at risk [PDF]

, 2014
Objectives: To assess the effect of preventive pravastatin treatment on coronary heart disease (CHD) morbidity and mortality in older persons at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), stratified according to plasma levels of homocysteine.<p></p&

Commonalities of platelet dysfunction in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and underlying comorbidities

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1013-1028, April 2025.
Abstract Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is characterized by a lack of a specific targeted treatment and a complex, partially unexplored pathophysiology. Common comorbidities associated with HFpEF are hypertension, atrial fibrillation, obesity and diabetes.

Impact of epicardial adipose tissue on myocardial function and structure in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been linked to adverse remodelling and outcomes in aortic valve stenosis (AS), yet mechanisms remain unclear. In 137 patients with severe AS undergoing CMR before TAVR, higher EAT (≥46.5 ml/m2) was associated with impaired left atrial (LA) reservoir strain, while ventricular morphology, function and tissue ...

Prevalence of risk factors and estimation of 10-year risk for cardiovascular diseases among male adult population of Tamil Nadu India-an insight from the National Family Health Survey–5

Indian Heart Journal, 2023
Objective: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are one of the most addressed preventable diseases of public health importance. However, the risk estimates and use of these risk scores for CVD prevention are the least explored areas.

Genomic prediction of coronary heart disease [PDF]

, 2016
Aims Genetics plays an important role in coronary heart disease (CHD) but the clinical utility of genomic risk scores (GRSs) relative to clinical risk scores, such as the Framingham Risk Score (FRS), is unclear.

Coronary age, based on coronary calcium measurement, is increased in patients with morbid obesity [PDF]

, 2018
Purpose: Obesity is a well-known of risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, recently an "obesity paradox" has been discussed, which is considered as a protective effect of obesity on the development coronary artery disease (CAD).

Assessing cardiovascular benefits of intensive blood pressure lowering in high‐risk undiagnosed HFpEF patients

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is often underdiagnosed. This study evaluates the HFpEF‐ABA score's ability to identify high‐risk, undiagnosed HFpEF subgroups with elevated cardiovascular event rates and assesses the impact of intensive blood pressure control in these populations.

Prognostic implications of surrogate markers of atherosclerosis in low-to-intermediate risk patients with type 2 diabetes [PDF]

, 2013
Poster PresentationINTRODUCTION: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular events. Unfortunately traditional risk assessment scores, including the Framingham Risk Score (FRS), have only modest accuracy in

Use of artificial intelligence for detecting left ventricular dysfunction and predicting incident heart failure risk

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Effective medications are available for the prevention of heart failure (HF). While their use is indicated in patients with risk factors, engagement and adherence among ‘at risk’ individuals is challenging, as it is with atherosclerotic heart disease prevention.
