Abstract

Background: Plasma levels of estimated whole blood viscosity (eWBV) have been increased by endothelial inflammation. Because there were no consistent data for assessing the eWBV levels for prediction of cardiovascular event (CVE) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We aimed to investigate the relationship between plasma eWBV levels and CVEs in patients with CKD. Materials and Methods: We conducted a prospective, cross-sectional, long-term follow-up study, assessing the relationship between plasma eWBV levels and CVE (either fatal or nonfatal) in patients with newly diagnosed CKD. We also evaluated estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), pentraxin 3 (PTX3), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and flow-mediated dilatation (FMD). Results: Study patients were divided into 2 groups: patients with CVE and patients without CVE. The eWBV levels were higher in patients with CVE. Additionally, PTX3 and hsCRP were higher, and FMD and eGFR were lower in patients with CVE compared to those without CVE. According to the Cox regression analysis, WBV, plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine levels, FMD, hsCRP, eGFR, systolic blood pressure, calcium, and history of diabetes were independent predictors of CVEs in patients with CKD. Kaplan Meier survival curves were generated to establish the impact of the WBV on the cumulative survival of the cohort. Patients with eWBV values higher than 5.2 centipoise (cP) had lower survival rates when compared to patients with eWBV values lower than 5.2 cP (log rank = 4.49 df = 1 P = .034). Conclusion: In conclusion, plasma eWBV levels may increase the presence of lower eGFR and affect CVE in patients with CKD independent of classical and unconventional risk factors.

Abstract

The prevalence of hypertension is increasing among young population worldwide. So there is an interest in detecting prehypertension and hypertension in childhood. We determined blood pressure (BP) recorded at a screening test in a young population. We retrospectively evaluated the medical records including systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) of 685 male and 130 female apparently healthy adolescents. We evaluated the prevalence of BP categories: normotension, prehypertension, and hypertension. The prevalence of normotension (n = 369), prehypertension (n = 333), and hypertension (n = 113) was 45.3%, 40.9% and 13.9%, respectively; prehypertension and hypertension were significantly higher among males. The prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension was significantly higher among overweight males and females. The BMI significantly correlated with SBP, DBP, and heart rate among both genders. The prevalence of prehypertension and hypertension is high among Turkish adolescents. Screening tests focused on BP and BMI measurement may help detect the young population at risk of hypertension and cardiovascular disease in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The no-reflow (NR) phenomenon represents an acute reduction in coronary blood flow without coronary vessel obstruction, coronary vessel dissection, spasm, or thrombosis. No reflow is an important complication among patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). The complete blood count (CBC) is one of the most frequently ordered laboratory tests in clinical practice. Various studies have evaluated the performance of CBC parameters to predict disease severity and mortality risk. Automated cell counters are routinely available in many clinical laboratories and can be used to determine red blood cell distrubiton width (RDW), platetecrit, platelet count, and and some ratios like the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio and RDW-platelet ratio. These hematological markers have been reported to be independent predictors of impaired angiographic reperfusion and long-term mortality among patients with STEMI undergoing pPCI. In this context, we reviewed the role of admission CBC parameters for the prediction of NR in patients with STEMI undergoing pPCI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a disease characterized by chronic inflammation. Atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) is a logarithmic value of the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio and it is a good marker for atherosclerotic heart disease and cardiac risk. In this study, we investigated subclinical atherosclerosis and cardiac risks in patients with FMF. Patients with FMF (78 men and 84 women) and healthy controls (74 men and 82 women) were included in this study. The AIP values of the patients were calculated and carotid intima–media thicknesses (cIMTs) were measured. The cIMT (P < .001) and AIP (P < .001) values of patients with FMF were higher than the values of the control group. There was a positive correlation between cIMT and AIP values (r = .304, P < .001). In regression analysis, we detected an independent relationship between cIMT and AIP (β = .248, P = .001). Atherogenic index of plasma may be highly correlated with the subclinical atherosclerosis. Particularly, male patients with FMF may have a high cardiac risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
