Assessing cardiovascular risk: should we discard diastolic blood pressure?
High blood pressure (BP), a major established predictor of cardiovascular disease, is the leading risk factor for mortality worldwide.1,2 Both systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) have continuous, independent relations with the risk of cardiovascular disease3; however, considerable uncertainty persists about the relative importance of SBP, DBP, and their combination in predicting cardiovasc...
متن کاملModel for assessing cardiovascular risk in a Korean population.
BACKGROUND A model for predicting cardiovascular disease in Asian populations is limited. METHODS AND RESULTS In total, 57 393 consecutive asymptomatic Korean individuals aged 30 to 80 years without a prior history of cardiovascular disease who underwent a general health examination were enrolled. Subjects were randomly classified into the train (n=45 914) and validation (n=11 479) cohorts. T...
متن کاملAre retinal examinations useful in assessing cardiovascular risk?
To the Editor: The results from the VAMPAHICA Study Group presented in the article “Usefulness of Optic Fundus Examination With Retinography in Initial Evaluation of Hypertensive Patients.” provide evidence that the use of retinography would increase the proportion of people classified as being at high risk of developing a major cardiovascular event within ten years.1 However, the study does no...
متن کاملRisk Prediction in Cardiovascular Medicine Assessing the Role of Circulating, Genetic, and Imaging Biomarkers in Cardiovascular Risk Prediction
The use of biomarkers to augment traditional cardiovascular risk prediction has attracted considerable attention in the past decade. This interest has been fueled by the realization that traditional risk factors do not identify everyone who will eventually develop cardiovascular disease.1 This has been accompanied by the emergence of potential screening tests such as high-sensitivity C-reactive...
متن کاملSkin Autofluorescence – A Non-invasive Measurement for Assessing Cardiovascular Risk and Risk of Diabetes
The results of the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial-Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (DCCT-EDIC) study have strengthened the ‘glycaemic memory’ concept, postulating that the quality of metabolic control over several years predicts the development of diabetic complications. To mirror long-term metabolic control, the degree of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) might not...
