Prehypertension is associated with early complications of atherosclerosis but not with exercise capacity
Cardiology | SMM, %SMM, BFM, PBF | Jung MH et al. | 2016 | Korea | International Journal of Cardiology
Background Prehypertension has a high risk of progression to hypertension, and intensive lifestyle modification including regular exercise is recommended for the management of prehypertensive individuals. However, data on the association between exercise capacity and hypertension status are limited. Therefore, we aimed 1) to define the characteristics of prehypertension, focusing on metabolic aspects and exercise capacity, and 2) to elucidate determinants of exercise capacity in healthy individuals without hypertension. Methods We …
Helicobacter pylori is associated with dyslipidemia but not with other risk factors of cardiovascular disease
Cardiology | PBF | Kim TJ et al. | 2016 | Korea | Scientific Reports
Epidemiologic and clinical data suggest that Helicobacter pylori infection is a contributing factor in the progression of atherosclerosis. However, the specific cardiovascular disease risk factors associated with H. pylori remain unclear. We performed a cross-sectional study of 37,263 consecutive healthy subjects who underwent a routine health check-up. In multivariable log Poisson regression models adjusted for potential confounders, the associations of H. pylori seropositivity with higher LDL-C (relative risk [RR], 1.21; 95 …
Coronary calcification is reversely related with bone and hair calcium: the relationship among different calcium pools in body
Cardiology | PBF | Lee SH et al. | 2016 | Korea | Journal of Bone Metabolism
Background With aging, calcium efflux from bone is increased with age-related bone loss, and it can reduce bone mineral density (BMD). On the contrary, age-related calcium adoption into arterial wall progressively stiffens blood vessels. Theses process insinuates shift of calcium among different pools in body. However, their relationships have not been elucidated yet. So we investigated the correlation among calcium contents in different body pools, such as hair, bone, and blood vessels in women. Methods We analyzed 50 females …
The effect of combination exercise training on cardiovascular risk factors (adiponectin, interleukin-6 and homocysteine) in sed
Cardiology | PBF | SRA Hosseini et al. | 2016 | Iran | International Journal of Applied Exercise Physiology
Purpose: Cardiovascular diseases are the major cause of mortality in all over the world. We evaluated the effect of eight weeks combined training on some cardiovascular risk factors in sedentary healthy middle aged men. Methods: 24 sedentary healthy, middle aged male subjects (age: 63.4±2.1 years, BMI: 23.1±2.5 kg/m2) participated in this study. Subject were randomly assigned to training (T, n= 12) and control (C, n= 12) groups. T group, underwent one training session per day, 3 days/week, for 8 weeks. Training program included both …
The relationship between distribution of body fat mass and carotid artery intima-media thickness in Korean older adults
Cardiology | FFM, BFM, PBF | JK Park et al. | 2015 | Korea | Journal of Physical Therapy Science
[Purpose] The aim of this study was to examine the relationships between the amount and distribution of body fat and the carotid intima-media thickness to explore whether coronary artery disease risk may be mediated through effects on the amount of fat mass in older adults.[Subjects and Methods] A total of 200 elderly females was participated. The percentage of body fat mass was measured by the bioelectrical impedance analysis method, and the carotid intima-media thickness was measured by B-mode ultrasound. Analysis of …
Cardiac autonomic dysfunction in young obese males is not associated with disturbances in pituitary-thyroid axis hormones
Cardiology | PBF, VFA, WHR | Al-Trad BA et al. | 2015 | Jordan | European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences
RESULTS: The levels of TSH, TT4 and TT3 were not significantly different between the groups. The frequency domain HRV parameter reflecting parasympathetic tone (high-frequency normalized units, HFnu) was significantly reduced in OB group. The parameters which reflect sympathetic activation (Heart rate, low-frequency normalized units; LFnu and the LF/HF ratio) were significantly increased in the OB group. HFnu was significantly and negatively correlated with BMI, waist hip ratio and body fat percentage, whereas LFnu and …
Age-related changes in basal substrate oxidation and visceral adiposity and their association with metabolic syndrome
Cardiology | BMI, FFMI, FMI | Siervo M et al. | 2015 | UK | European Journal of Nutrition
Purpose Ageing is directly associated with visceral fat (VAT) deposition and decline of metabolically active cellular mass, which may determine age-related shifts in substrate oxidation and increased cardiometabolic risk. We tested whether VAT and fasting respiratory quotient (RQ, an index of macronutrient oxidation) changed with age and if they were associated with increased risk of metabolic syndrome (MetSyn). Methods A total of 2819 adult participants (age range: 18–81 years; men/women: 894/1925) were included; we …
