A Prospective Study of Arsenic Exposure, Arsenic Methylation Capacity, and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in Bangladesh
BACKGROUND Few prospective studies have evaluated the influence of arsenic methylation capacity on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the association of arsenic exposure from drinking water and arsenic methylation capacity with CVD risk. METHOD We conducted a case-cohort study of 369 incident fatal and nonfatal cases of CVD, including 211 cases of heart disease and 14...
متن کاملSubclinical Hypothyroidism and Cardiovascular Disease
Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is a common disorder that is characterized by elevated thyroid-stimulating hormone levels in conjunction with free thyroxine concentrations within the normal reference range. Thyroid hormones are known to affect the heart and vasculature and, as a result, the impact of SCH on the cardiovascular (CV) system has recently become an important topic of research. Stro...
متن کاملMyeloperoxidase, subclinical atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease events.
OBJECTIVES We evaluated whether myeloperoxidase (MPO) predicts future cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in asymptomatic adults and whether subclinical atherosclerosis may affect this relation. BACKGROUND Myeloperoxidase is a leukocyte-derived enzyme-generating reactive oxidant species that has been shown to predict risk of CVD in selected populations. METHODS We studied 1,302 asymptomatic...
متن کاملSecondhand Smoke Exposure and Subclinical Cardiovascular Disease: The Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
BACKGROUND Few studies have evaluated the association between secondhand smoke (SHS) and subclinical cardiovascular disease among ethnically diverse populations. This study assesses the impact of SHS on inflammation and atherosclerosis (carotid intima-media thickness, coronary artery calcification, and peripheral arterial disease). METHODS AND RESULTS We examined 5032 nonsmoking adults aged 4...
متن کاملAssociations of subclinical cardiovascular disease with frailty.
BACKGROUND Frail health in old age has been conceptualized as a loss of physiologic reserve associated with loss of lean mass, neuroendocrine dysregulation, and immune dysfunction. Little work has been done to define frailty and describe the underlying pathophysiology. METHODS Frailty status was defined in participants of the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS), a cohort of 5,201 community-dwel...
