J Am Coll Cardiol. 2013 Jan 15;61(2):148-52. doi:10.1016/j.jacc.2012.09.042. Epub 2012 Dec 5.OBJECTIVES:The purpose of this study was to compare the incidence of new-onset diabetes (NOD) with cardiovascular (CV) event reduction at different levels of NOD risk. BACKGROUND:Statins reduce the number of CV events but increase the incidence of NOD. We previously reported [...]

 | The prevalence of premature cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is increased in women with a history of maternal placental syndromes,including pregnancy-associated hypertensive disorders (eg,preeclampsia),fetal growth restriction,and placental abruption. Whereas previous studies have shown a high prevalence of CVD risk factors after pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia,this has not been studied for women with [...] Nature Reviews Drug Discovery 12,264 (2013). doi:10.1038/nrd3987 Author:Charlotte Harrison Ageing is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. This study showed that microRNA-34a (miR-34a) expression is induced in the ageing mouse heart and contributes to the decline in cardiac function. Genetic inhibition of miR-34a reduced age- and myocardial infarction-associated cardiomyocyte death and fibrosis. [...] Objectives This study sought to determine whether epicardial fat volume predicts coronary events in the general population. Background Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is suggested to promote plaque development in the coronary artery tree. Methods We quantified EAT volume in participants from the prospective population-based Heinz Nixdorf Recall cohort study free of cardiovascular disease. Incident [...] Abstract:Background:We aimed to assess the additive value of electrocardiogram (ECG) findings to risk prediction models for cardiovascular disease. Methods:Our dataset consisted of 6025 individuals with ECG data available from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey-III. This is a self-weighting sample with a follow-up of 79,046.84 person-years. The primary outcomes were cardiovascular [...] Recent genome-wide association studies have identified genetic variants associated with blood pressure (BP). We investigated whether genetic risk scores (GRSs) constructed of these variants would predict incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. We genotyped 32 common single nucleotide polymorphisms in several Finnish cohorts,with up to 32 669 individuals after exclusion of prevalent CVD cases. The [...] Objectives The authors sought to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of statins for primary prevention of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Background Patients with CKD have an elevated risk of MI and stroke. Although HMG Co-A reductase inhibitors (“statins”) may prevent cardiovascular events in patients with non–dialysis-requiring CKD,adverse [...] Objectives The study tested whether extreme lipoprotein(a) levels and/or corresponding LPA risk genotypes improve myocardial infarction (MI) and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk prediction beyond conventional risk factors. Background Elevated lipoprotein(a) levels cause MI and CHD. Levels are primarily determined by variation in the LPA gene. Methods We followed 8,720 Danish participants in a [...] RSS Newsdesk Result |
