Low serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D predict fatal cancer in patients referred to coronary angiography.
Accumulating evidence suggests that vitamin D may protect against cancer, but results from epidemiologic studies are inconclusive so far, and other studies looking into the prospective association of total cancer mortality and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels, which are considered to be the best indicator of vitamin D status, are scarce. We measured 25(OH)D and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D...
متن کاملSerum protein profiles predict coronary artery disease in symptomatic patients referred for coronary angiography
BACKGROUND More than a million diagnostic cardiac catheterizations are performed annually in the US for evaluation of coronary artery anatomy and the presence of atherosclerosis. Nearly half of these patients have no significant coronary lesions or do not require mechanical or surgical revascularization. Consequently, the ability to rule out clinically significant coronary artery disease (CAD) ...
متن کاملLow vitamin d levels predict stroke in patients referred to coronary angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Vitamin D deficiency is common among the elderly and may contribute to cerebrovascular diseases. We aimed to elucidate whether low vitamin D levels are predictive for fatal stroke. METHODS The LUdwigshafen RIsk and Cardiovascular Health (LURIC) study includes 3316 patients who were referred to coronary angiography at baseline between 1997 and 2000. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D [...
متن کاملLow plasma RANTES levels are an independent predictor of cardiac mortality in patients referred for coronary angiography.
OBJECTIVE Our objective was to evaluate the prognostic value of baseline plasma RANTES levels in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease. RANTES is a chemokine produced by a variety of cell types including platelets that has been implicated in atherosclerosis. METHODS AND RESULTS Baseline plasma RANTES levels were measured in 389 male patients undergoing coronary angiography ...
متن کاملHigh-resolution spiral computed tomography coronary angiography in patients referred for diagnostic conventional coronary angiography.
BACKGROUND The diagnostic performance of the latest 64-slice CT scanner, with increased temporal (165 ms) and spatial (0.4 mm3) resolution, to detect significant stenoses in the clinically relevant coronary tree is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We studied 52 patients (34 men; mean age, 59.6+/-12.1 years) with atypical chest pain, stable or unstable angina pectoris, or non-ST-segment elevation ...
