The objective of this study was to assess cardiovascular response during cardiac stress testing in neurologically asymptomatic individuals who developed motor features of Parkinson's disease several years after the cardiac stress testing. This was a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent cardiac stress testing between January 2001 and December 2010. Patients were followed until May 2012 to select those who developed Parkinson's disease.

Methods: We conducted a case-control study in three tertiary hospitals of Pamplona, Spain, between 1999 and 2001.
Background: Although an important secondary prevention trial reported an impressive protection by a Mediterranean dietary pattern on reinfarction and cardiovascular death, scarce direct epidemiologic evidence is currently available regarding the role of the Mediterranean diet in the aetiology of coronary heart disease.
Aims: The aim of the study was to quantify the risk reduction of incident myocardial infarction provided by a Mediterranean dietary pattern.
Methods: We included 342 subjects (171 patients who suffered their first acute myocardial infarction and 171 matched controls) in a case-control study.
Background: There is some dispute about the role of fish and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) consumption on the prevention of coronary heart disease. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between n-3 PUFA and fish consumption and the risk of a first acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a low risk population from Navarre (Spain).
Method: A hospital-based case-control study was conducted in Pamplona (Spain).
