Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index is an emerging surrogate indicator of insulin resistance, which has been demonstrated as a risk factor for various cardiovascular diseases including coronary syndrome, in-stent restenosis, and heart failure. However, association of TyG index with incident aortic dissection...
adjusted for age, sex, concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting surgery, ischemic heart disease, chronic heart failure, prior acute myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, peripheral artery disease, renal disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes, antithrombotic therapy, and calendar ...
smoking and hyperlipidemia. While an association between atherosclerosis and ascending aortic aneurysms has been observed45, whether the two pathologic processes share underlying causal mechanisms remained unknown. Here, through causal inference methods, we provide genetic support for a causal role of smokin...
The aortic valve and coronary ostia are located within the aortic root, a central cardiovascular structure connecting the aorta to the left ventricle. The aortic valve directs the systemic circulation from the left ventricle to the aorta, whereas the coronary ostia shunt blood from the aorta to t...
The lack of an ICD-10 code also limits research on Lp(a) using electronic health records. Guideline Recommendations for Measuring Lp(a) The European Society of Cardiology/European Atherosclerosis Society have given a Class IIa, Level of Evidence: C recommendation for measuring Lp(a) in patients...
Causes for exclusion were cardiovascular medication, previous cardiothoracic surgery, coarctation, hypertension, Marfan syndrome or other connective tissue defect, and atherosclerosis. For phenotypic homogeneity, only patients with a right-left coronary cusp fusion pattern were included. Thus, 36 patients ...
atherosclerosis in other vascular beds, including the thoracic aorta and iliac arteries,3carotid arteries,4and coronary arteries.3,5We and others have identified abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) as a marker of atherosclerotic vascular disease that may be involved in the association of bone and ...
Aortic Distensibility and its Relationship to Coronary and Thoracic Atherosclerosis Plaque and Morphology by MDCT: Insights from the ROMICAT Trial. Int. J. Cardiol. 2013, 167, 1616–1621. [CrossRef] [PubMed] J. Cardiovasc. Dev. Dis. 2018, 5, 42 9 of 9 18. Güngör, B.; Yılmaz,...
(ICD9, ICD10, or OPCS-4) consistent with BAV and followed by manual annotation. The validation and test sets were sampled at random with uniform probability from all 14,328 MRI sequences to capture the BAV class distribution expected at test time. Development and validation set MRIs were ...
MACE was defined as acute coronary syndrome (defined as ST-elevation myocardial infarction [ICD codes I21.0-I21.3, I21.919], non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction [ICD code I21.419], unstable angina pectoris [ICD code I20.0]), de novo AF (ICD codes I48.0-I48.2, I48.9), hospitalization ...
