Effect of Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity Combined with Waist-to-Hip Ratio on Cardiac and Cerebrovascular Events
CONCLUSIONS: BaPWV and WHR were important risk factors for CCVEs and had synergistic effects. When baPWV increased, WHR may contribute more to the risk of CCVEs in hypertensive patients.PMID:33621529 | DOI:10.1016/j.amjms.2021.02.014

Diabetes and Stroke: Epidemiology, Pathophysiology, Pharmaceuticals and Outcomes.
Abstract There has been a significant increase in obesity rates worldwide with the corresponding surge in diabetes. Diabetes causes various microvascular and macrovascular changes often culminating in major clinical complications, 1 of which, is stroke. Although gains have been made over the last 2 decades in reducing the burden of stroke, the recent rise in rates of diabetes threatens to reverse these advances. Of the several mechanistic stroke subtypes, individuals with diabetes are especially susceptible to the consequences of cerebral small vessel diseases. Hyperglycemia confers greater risk of stroke occurren...

Pharmacotherapy of obesity: clinical treatments and considerations.
Abstract Obesity is a world-wide epidemic associated with significant morbidity and mortality which costs billions of dollars per year. The associated related conditions are many and include heart disease, stroke, type II diabetes mellitus, sleep apnea and certain types of cancer. Given that it is a multifactorial problem, the treatments must also address the numerous causes associated with the development of obesity. The neurohormonal regulation of feeding and energy is a complex system often necessitating modification through more than 1 pathway to achieve weight loss. Therefore, in addition to lifestyle changes...
