Low 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 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 کاملCombination of low free testosterone and low vitamin D predicts mortality in older men referred for coronary angiography.
CONTEXT Low levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] and free testosterone (FT) are both associated with increased mortality. Experimental studies show a complex interplay of vitamin D and androgen metabolism suggesting that a deficiency of both hormones may be associated with a particularly adverse clinical outcome. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of parallel FT and 25(OH)D deficiency in a l...
متن کاملAnxiety levels in patients candidate for coronary artery angiography
Introduction: One of the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in coronary artery disease is coronary artery angiography. Due to the invasiveness of this method, most patients experience anxiety before it is performed. Anxiety causes physiological responses in the body that can increase the incidence of complications in these patients. This study aimed to investigate anxiety levels in patients ...
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) ...
