Mortality Rates in Smokers and Nonsmokers in the Presence or Absence of Coronary Artery Calcification
[ PUBLICATION ]
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to further explore the interplay between smoking status, coronary artery calcium (CAC), and all-cause mortality.
BACKGROUND: Prior studies have not directly compared the relative prognostic impact of CAC in smokers versus nonsmokers. In particular, although a calcium score of zero (CAC = 0) is a known favorable prognostic marker, whether smokers with CAC = 0 have as good a prognosis as nonsmokers with CAC = 0 is unknown. Given that computed ...

OBJECTIVE: Insulin resistance is increased by inflammation, but the mechanisms are unclear. The present study was undertaken to test the hypothesis that decreased insulin sensitivity is differentially associated with mediators of inflammation by studying 2 chronic inflammatory diseases of different pathogenesis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
METHODS: We measured fasting insulin, glucose, and lipid levels, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), ...

Importance: Effects on specific fatal and nonfatal end points appear to vary for low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C)-lowering drug trials.
Objective: To evaluate whether baseline LDL-C level is associated with total and cardiovascular mortality risk reductions.
Data Sourcesand Study Selection: Electronic databases (Cochrane, MEDLINE, EMBASE, TCTMD, ClinicalTrials.gov, major congress proceedings) were searched through February 2, 2018, to identify randomized clinical trials of ...

Diagnostic performance of fusion of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and computed tomography coronary angiography
[ PUBLICATION ]
BackgroundWe evaluated the incremental diagnostic value of fusion images of coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) and myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) over MPI alone or MPI and CTA side-by-side to identify obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD > 50% stenosis) using invasive coronary angiography (ICA) as the gold standard.Methods50 subjects (36 men; 56 ± 11 years old) underwent rest-stress MPI and CTA within 12-26 days of each other. CTAs were performed with multi-detector ...

Slowing Progression of Cardiovascular Calcification with SNF472 in Patients on Hemodialysis: Results of a Randomized, Phase 2b Study
[ PUBLICATION ]
BACKGROUND: The high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with end-stage kidney disease could be partially caused by extensive cardiovascular calcification. SNF472, intravenous myo-inositol hexaphosphate, selectively inhibits the formation and growth of hydroxyapatite.
METHODS: This double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2b trial compared progression of coronary artery calcium volume score and other measurements of cardiovascular calcification by computed tomography scan ...

Prevalence of Patent Foramen Ovale and Its Contribution to Hypoxemia in Patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
[ PUBLICATION ]
STUDY OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study were (1) to assess the prevalence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) by means of contrast transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in patients with obstructive sleep apnea, and (2) to determine the potential contribution of right to left interatrial shunting to systemic oxygen desaturation following the performance of Valsalva maneuver.
DESIGN: Performance of contrast TEE during Valsalva maneuver with simultaneous measurement of systemic arterial ...

Impact of Coronary Artery Calcium Progression and Statin Therapy on Clinical Outcome in Subjects With and Without Diabetes Mellitus
[ PUBLICATION ]
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a marker of atherosclerosis, and CAC progression is independently associated with all-cause mortality in the general population but not convincingly in subjects with diabetes mellitus (DM). The aim of this study was to ascertain the differences in the rates of CAC progression, the effect of statin therapy, and all-cause mortality in subjects with and without DM. The study group consisted of 296 asymptomatic subjects with type 2 DM and 300 controls (mean ...

OBJECTIVES: We compared dipyridamole technetium-99m (Tc-99m) tetrofosmin and thallium-201 (Tl-201) single-photon emission computed tomographic (SPECT) imaging with respect to the detection rate of perfusion abnormalities in 26 patients with angiographic coronary artery disease (CAD).
BACKGROUND: Experimental studies have shown that myocardial extraction of Tc-99m tetrofosmin is lower than that of Tl-201 at high flow rates, resulting in less severe defects with vasodilator stress. It is ...

Adipocytokines in systemic lupus erythematosus: relationship to inflammation, insulin resistance and coronary atherosclerosis
[ PUBLICATION ]
We tested the hypothesis that concentrations of adipocytokines are altered in SLE and associated with coronary atherosclerosis, insulin resistance and inflammation. Concentrations of resistin, leptin, adiponectin and visfatin were measured in 109 patients with SLE and 78 control subjects. Coronary calcification was measured using electron beam-computed tomography, and insulin resistance was defined by the homeostasis model assessment index. Concentrations of adiponectin (28.7 +/- 17.9 vs ...

BackgroundThere appears to be an association of epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) with coronary artery disease (CAD) and its risk factors. EAT is assumed to influence CAD development by altering vasomotor tone and via toxic paracrine effects. The relationship of EAT to myocardial perfusion has not been studied.MethodsQuantification of EAT and CAC was performed on positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) studies in 45 subjects (77% intermediate pre-test probability of CAD) ...

Prognostic value of coronary artery calcium screening in subjects with and without diabetes
[ PUBLICATION ]
OBJECTIVES: The study was done to determine the interaction of coronary artery calcium and diabetes mellitus for prediction of all-cause death.
BACKGROUND: Diabetes is a strong risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD) and is associated with an elevated overall mortality. Electron beam tomography (EBT) provides information on the presence of subclinical atherosclerosis and may be useful for risk stratification.
METHODS: We followed 10,377 asymptomatic individuals (903 diabetic ...

Epicardial adipose tissue is an independent marker of cardiovascular risk in HIV-infected patients
[ PUBLICATION ]
BACKGROUND: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is increased in HIV-infected patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between EAT and coronary artery calcium (CAC) a marker of atherosclerosis; furthermore, we investigated the association of EAT with HIV infection, antiretroviral therapy (ART), and lipodystrophy.
METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study of 876 consecutive HIV-infected ART experienced patients. Patients underwent CAC imaging with multidetector computed ...

Sex Differences in Mental Stress–Induced Myocardial Ischemia in Young Survivors of an Acute Myocardial Infarction
[ PUBLICATION ]
OBJECTIVES: Emotional stress may disproportionally affect young women with ischemic heart disease. We sought to examine whether mental stress-induced myocardial ischemia (MSIMI), but not exercise-induced ischemia, is more common in young women with previous myocardial infarction (MI) than in men.
METHODS: We studied 98 post-MI patients (49 women and 49 men) aged 38 to 60 years. Women and men were matched for age, MI type, and months since MI. Patients underwent technetium-99m sestamibi ...

Cardiac calcification in adult hemodialysis patients A link between end-stage renal disease and cardiovascular disease?
[ PUBLICATION ]
OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine clinical and laboratory correlates of calcification of the coronary arteries (CAs), aorta and mitral and aortic valves in adult subjects with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving hemodialysis.
BACKGROUND: Vascular calcification is known to be a risk factor for ischemic heart disease in non-uremic individuals. Patients with ESRD experience accelerated vascular calcification, due at least in part to dysregulation of mineral metabolism. Clinical ...

Progression of Coronary Artery Calcium and Occurrence of Myocardial Infarction in Patients With and Without Diabetes Mellitus
[ PUBLICATION ]
Progression of coronary artery calcium, a marker of atherosclerosis, can be slowed with statins, and continued progression of calcium is associated with an increased risk of myocardial infarction. However, it is not known whether statins are effective in slowing calcium progression in diabetes mellitus. In a retrospective study, we examined 1153 nondiabetic and 157 diabetic subjects who underwent sequential electron beam tomography scans at a minimum 1-year interval to assess progression ...
