Markers of cardiovascular disease in patients with preeclampsia: a postnatal studyBackground Women with preeclampsia (PE) are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in later life. We aimed to ascertain the prevalence of markers of CVD in a cohort of women recently delivered for PE....
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) susceptibility differs between men and women and varies with ethnicity. This variability is not entirely explained by conventional CVD risk factors. We examined differences in circulating levels of 47 novel protein markers of CVD in 2561 men and women of African-American ...
Less is known regarding the consequences of uncontrolled IOH in treated hypertensives. The aim was to investigate whether uncontrolled IOH was independently associated with two subclinical markers of cardiovascular disease, aortic stiffness and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Clinical laboratory and 24-...
Although rejection rates and short-term graft survival have significantly improved in kidney transplantation with the introduction of calcineurin inhibitor (CNI), cardiovascular disease (CVD) and metabolic complications are being increasingly recognized as important causes of morbidity and mortality. We hypoth...
of nut or seed consumption on lipid and lipoprotein markers of cardiovascular disease (CVD), we added almonds (AD) or sunflower kernels (SKD) to a recommended diet in a randomised crossover feeding study. Twenty-two postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes consumed personalised diets, with the...
cardiovascular prevention. Approximately 60% of individuals categorized as at low risk for cardiovascular disease based on traditional risk factors prediction equations had subclinical atherosclerosis3,4. Thus, other factors not traditionally included in risk scales are likely to be involved in atherogenesis...
We have previously reported that lower doses of hormone therapy (L-HT) and tibolone have different effects on markers of cardiovascular disease when compared with conventional doses of HT. The objective was to compare the effects of L-HT and tibolone on lipid profile, vasodilation, and factors...

In addition, SM produced by the transfer of a phosphocholine moiety from phosphatidylcholine to the ceramide backbone has been linked to insulin resistance [15, 16] and is also an independent marker of cardiovascular disease [17]. Thus, dysregulated lipid metabolism is a major contributor to the ...
Role of Coronary Artery Calcium Score of Zero and Other Negative Risk Markers for Cardiovascular Disease: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). Role of coronary artery calcium score of zero and other negative risk markers for cardiovascular disease: the Multi- Ethnic Study of ...
