Which white blood cell subtypes predict increased cardiovascular risk?
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine the predictive ability of total white blood cell (WBC) count and its subtypes for risk of death or myocardial infarction (MI). BACKGROUND An elevated WBC count has been associated with cardiovascular risk, but which leukocyte subtypes carry this risk is uncertain. METHODS Consecutive patients without acute MI who were assessed angiographically for coronary ...
متن کاملElevated white blood cell counts and risk of metabolic syndrome: a dose-response meta-analysis
Background and Aim: Elevated white blood cell count has been a known risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Cardiometabolic diseases have some risk factors in common. Therefore, we assessed the association between elevated white blood cell counts and risk of metabolic syndrome using dose-response meta-analysis method. Materials & Methods: We searched for observational studies including white ...
متن کاملWhich leukocyte subsets predict cardiovascular mortality? From the LUdwigshafen RIsk and Cardiovascular Health (LURIC) Study.
OBJECTIVE White blood cells are known to predict cardiovascular mortality, but form a highly heterogeneous population. It is therefore possible that specific subtypes disproportionally contribute to the prediction of cardiovascular outcomes. Therefore, we compared leukocyte subsets alone and in conjunction with an established inflammatory marker, C-reactive protein, for predicting death due to ...
متن کاملWhite blood cell count and cardiovascular biomarkers of atherosclerosis.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association with white blood cells (WBC) and atherosclerotic parameters including cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in the general population. METHODS We investigated the relationship between WBC count and metabolic syndrome components, CAVI and CIMT in 3738 Japanese study participants. RESULTS WBC count weakly correlat...
متن کاملWhite Blood Cell Count and the Risk of Colon Cancer
Inflammation may be linked to the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer. However, two conflicting observational results were recently reported on the relationship between the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein (CRP) and the risk of colorectal cancer. Few epidemiologic studies have examined the association between inflammatory markers and the risk of colorectal cancer. We prospectively examined ...
