Diabetes and cardiovascular events in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a 20‐year retrospective cohort study
ConclusionWe have shown a high incidence and age‐group‐specific prevalence of T2DM, MI and angina in the women with PCOS, with over a quarter having had MI or angina in those >65 years. These findings should be considered in the treatment strategies and long‐term planning for women with PCOS.

Mediterranean diet and physical activity: An intervention study. Does olive oil exercise the body through the mind?
Several studies address how different features of unhealthy lifestyle and obesity are detrimental in cardiovascular disease . The Mediterranean diet, assumed as a paradigm of healthy nutrition, is still studied, envisaging even pharmacological effects . Other scientific contributions, without correct information, could be more negative than useful for the enhancement of healthier behavior: actually, in such studies, the successful counseling focused to secondary prevention-treatment should deserve more emphasis and dissemination. A recent investigation claims that an energy-unrestricted Mediterranean diet supplemented with...

Study may bust myth of 'fat and fit' healthy obesity
Conclusion This meta-analysis provides further evidence about the known risk factors for cardiovascular disease and mortality. What this study adds is the indication that people who are metabolically unhealthy regardless of their weight are at increased risk. However, interestingly, no increase in risk was seen for the category of people who are metabolically healthy though overweight. A strength of this meta-analysis is the large sample size. However, the results should be interpreted with caution as: The studies did not use the same criteria for assessing metabolic status. The studies did not use the same criteri...

Cardiovascular safety of combination therapies with incretin based drugs and metformin compared with a combination of metformin and sulfonylurea in type 2 diabetes mellitus – a retrospective nationwide study
ConclusionIncretin‐based drugs combined with metformin were safe compared with conventional combinations of glucose‐lowering therapy. Use of incretin‐based therapy may be target for strategies to lower cardiovascular risk in type‐2 diabetes, although it should be recognized that the multivariable analysis may not have fully accounted for important baseline differences.

Cardiovascular safety of combination therapies with incretin‐based drugs and metformin compared with a combination of metformin and sulphonylurea in type 2 diabetes mellitus – a retrospective nationwide study
ConclusionIncretin‐based drugs combined with metformin were safe compared with conventional combinations of glucose‐lowering therapy. Use of incretin‐based therapy may be target for strategies to lower CV risk in type 2 diabetes, although it should be recognized that the multivariable analysis may not have fully accounted for important baseline differences.

Insulin resistance and beat-to-beat cardiovascular dynamics: a constant relationship across different body mass index and blood pressure categories.
Conclusions: These findings indicate that even small increases in HOMA index (not necessarily in the range to define insulin resistance) may induce significant changes on indices of cardiovascular function even in normal weight and normotensive subjects, emphasizing the importance of insulin resistance at an early stage of the cardiovascular risk continuum.

Hypertension in diabetes: optimal pharmacotherapy.
Authors: Biswas A, Alvarez A, Mukherjee D Abstract Hypertension is commonly associated with diabetes mellitus. The combination of hypertension with obesity and diabetes is a well recognized entity known as the metabolic syndrome, which shares a common pathophysiology of insulin resistance. The individual components of this syndrome act synergistically to substantially increase the risk of renal disease, stroke, coronary artery disease, and death. Hypertension increases both macrovascular and microvascular complications of diabetes such as neuropathy, nephropathy, coronary artery disease, stroke, and retinopathy. He...

5 Healthy Eating Habits To Adopt This Year
By Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD Nutrition is a hot topic these days, yet many of my clients still struggle with consistently following through with "the basics," and the stats show that missing the mark on many healthy habits is the norm. For example, the median daily intake of produce for U.S. adults is 1.1 servings of fruit and 1.6 servings of veggies, far below the minimum recommended five daily servings. If you're going to set just one goal for 2015, I think eating more produce should be it, but I've also listed four others below. I know you've heard them before, but they are without a doubt the most tried-and-true, impactf...

Regional, age, and sex differences in baseline characteristics of patients enrolled in the Trial Evaluating Cardiovascular Outcomes with Sitagliptin (TECOS)
ConclusionCV risk factors of TECOS participants are reasonably controlled on average, but differences in CV risk management according to region, sex, and history of prior disease exist. This diversity will enhance generalizability of the trial results.

G-Protein β 3 -Subunit Gene C825T Polymorphism and Cardiovascular Risk: An Updated Review
Abstract Hypertension is a common disorder of multifactorial origin that constitutes a major risk factor for cardiovascular events such as stroke and myocardial infarction. The subunits of the heterotrimeric G proteins are attractive candidate gene products for susceptibility to hypertension, obesity and insulin resistance syndrome. A polymorphism (825C/T) in exon 10 of the GNB3 gene, encoding for the Gβ3 subunit, has been described. The 825T allele is associated with alternative splicing of the gene and formation of a truncated but functionally active β3 subunit. Many studies have investigated whether carriers ...

Super Nutrient’s Liver Surprise
I was one of the first doctors to talk about the incredible benefits of the super-nutrient pyrroloquinoline quinone, or PQQ for short. I was also one of the first doctors to recommend it to patients. Now I recommend this essential nutrient and powerful antioxidant to almost everyone who comes to see me at my wellness clinic. Researchers have only just recently begun to understand the many important roles of PQQ on the body’s cellular processes. Not only does it possess extraordinary energy-giving qualities and have the power to ease nerve pain and battle Alzheimer’s, it has the potential to become the world’s stronge...

Homoarginine supplementation improves blood glucose in diet-induced obese mice.
Abstract L-Homoarginine (hArg) is an endogenous amino acid which has emerged as a novel biomarker for stroke and cardiovascular disease. Low circulating hArg levels are associated with increased mortality and vascular events, whereas recent data have revealed positive correlations between circulating hArg and metabolic vascular risk factors like obesity or blood glucose levels. However, it is unclear whether hArg levels are causally linked to metabolic parameters. Therefore, the aim of our study was to investigate whether hArg directly influences body weight, blood glucose, glucose tolerance or insulin sensitivity...
