Published: November 2016

Objective: To described cardiovascular risk factors in women with inheritable thrombophilia 8-19 years after early-onset hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HD) with or without recurrent HD.

Methods: Women with recurrent HD were compared with women with single HD, for physical examination and cardiovascular parameters in serum.

Results: Systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and albumin: creatinine ratio were higher in women with recurrent HD compared with women with single HD (p = 0.046, p = 0.029, and p = 0.008, respectively). In both groups 72.7% had an increased cardiovascular risk.

Conclusion: Women with inheritable thrombophilia after single or recurrent HD have a high cardiovascular risk.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the "obesity paradox," focusing on overweight and obese patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery disease.
  • Over a follow-up period averaging about 65 months, results showed that 17.4% of patients experienced adverse cardiovascular events, with a notable J-shaped relationship indicating that those classified as overweight (BMI 25.0-29.9 kg/m) had lower risks of total and major cardiovascular events.
  • The findings suggest that overweight individuals may have better cardiovascular outcomes post-PCI compared to those with a normal BMI.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risks of stroke and mortality. It remains unclear whether rhythm control reduces the risk of stroke in patients with AF concomitant with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

Methods: We identified AF patients with HCM who were ≥ 18 years old in the Taiwan National Health Insurance Database.

Inefficient control of elevated blood sugar levels can lead to certain health complications such as diabetic nephropathy (DN) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The identification of effective biomarkers for monitoring diabetes was performed in the present study. The present study aimed to investigate the implications of long non-coding RNA megacluster (lnc-MGC), microRNA (miR)-132 and miR-133a, and their correlation with lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) levels to identify biomarkers for the early diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, induced DN and CVD.

Association of the geriatric nutritional risk index with poor outcomes in patients with coronary revascularization: a cohort study.

Front Cardiovasc Med

December 2024

Cardiovascular Department, Xiyuan Hospital, China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Beijing, China.

Background: Poor nutritional status may affect outcomes after coronary revascularization, but the association between nutritional status and outcomes in patients undergoing coronary revascularization has not been fully evaluated. This study was based on the MIMIC-IV database to analyze the impact of baseline nutritional status on poor outcomes in patients with coronary revascularization.

Methods: Patients with coronary revascularization were screened from the MIMIC-IV database.
