AI Article Synopsis

  • - The study aimed to determine how common coronary artery disease (CAD) is among women with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) versus those without RA, using data from the Kentucky Women's Health Registry collected from 2007 to 2010.
  • - Findings revealed that 10% of women with RA reported having CAD, compared to 4% of women without RA, indicating a higher prevalence in the RA group.
  • - The incidence rates of CAD for women with RA decreased from 10% in 2007 to 3.4% in 2009-2010, while for women without RA the rates were consistently lower, highlighting a significant disparity between the two groups.

Article Abstract

To investigate the incidence and prevalence rates of coronary artery disease (CAD) in women with and without rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Data was collected from the Kentucky Women's Health Registry (2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010) with 3982, 6730, 6898 and 7944, respectively. Women with RA and reported CAD were over 45 years. 10% of women with RA reported CAD, while 4% of women without RA reported CAD. The incidence of CAD in women with RA were 10, 5.2 and 3.4% while the incidence of CAD in women without RA were 2.2, 2.2 and 1.4% in 2007-2010, 2008-2010 and 2009-2010, respectively. The incidence and prevalence of CAD was greater in women with RA compared with women without RA.

Background: In women, both earlier and later age at menarche (AAM) are associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). This study sought to determine if the relationship of AAM with CAD and CAD risk factors differs for different underlying sources of variation in AAM - specifically, variation attributable to common genetic variants as represented by a polygenic score (PGS) vs. variation in AAM adjusted for the PGS.

Prognostic value of the derived inflammatory marker SIRI in postmenopausal women with coronary artery disease.

Front Cardiovasc Med

December 2024

Department of Cardiology, Key Laboratory of Cardiac Injury and Repair of Henan Province, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, China.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the predictive value of the Systemic Inflammatory Response Index (SIRI) for the prognosis of older postmenopausal women with coronary artery disease (CAD).

Patients And Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 617 postmenopausal female patients aged 50 years or older with a CAD diagnosis confirmed by coronary angiography seen at the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2019 to December 2020. Patients were divided into three groups based on SIRI tertiles.

Women are disproportionately affected by chronic autoimmune diseases (AD) like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and Sjögren's syndrome. Traditional evaluations often underestimate the associated cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke risk in women having AD. Vitamin D deficiency increases susceptibility to these conditions.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the most prevalent cardiovascular diseases where serum lipoprotein oxidation plays a significant role. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) n-6 : n-3 unbalance ratio consumption, affects lipoprotein oxidation, and inflammation processes. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between n-6 : n-3 PUFA ratio intake with oxidized lipoproteins in individuals with CAD.

The reproductive lifespan of female mammals is determined by the size of the primordial follicle pool, which comprises oocytes enclosed by a layer of flattened pre-granulosa cells. Oocyte differentiation needs acquiring organelles and cytoplasm from sister germ cells in cysts, but the mechanisms regulating this process remain unknown. Previously helicase for meiosis 1 (HFM1) is reported to be related to the development of premature ovarian insufficiency.
