Inflammatory Markers in Coronary Artery Disease: Pathophysiological Mechanisms, Prognostic and Therapeutic Implications

TL;DR: Increased levels of CRP or MCSF and low levels of TGFb-1 predict adverse cardiovascular events in CAD patients independently of traditional risk factors, suggesting the need of a multimarker approach in assessing cardiovascular risk.

Association of the SHBG gene promoter polymorphism with early markers of atherosclerosis in apparently healthy women

TL;DR: Longer (TAAAA)n repeats in the SHBG gene promoter are associated with impaired FMD, which is an early marker of atherosclerosis, which indirectly supports the view that androgenic exposure may have adverse cardiovascular effects in women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association of macronutrient consumption with arterial aging in adults without clinically overt cardiovascular disease: a 5-year prospective cohort study.

TL;DR: High consumption of SFA is related to accelerated arterial stiffening, while high consumption of MUFA and fibre and low intake of carbohydrates is associated with attenuated progression in blood pressure and arterial wave reflections, respectively, expanding current knowledge on the association of macronutrient consumption with arterial aging in the general population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wenckebach cycle length: A novel predictor for AV block in AVNRT patients treated with ablation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the electrophysiologic studies and baseline characteristics of patients who underwent catheter ablation for the treatment of atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT) were retrospectively analyzed to investigate predisposing factors for AV block after treatment.
