Clinical factors linked with coronary artery disease in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
Conclusion: Our data showed that hypertension, left heart failure, and lower serum HDL level were independent predictors for the presence of CAD in COPD. FEV1 and triple vessel CAD were independently associated with the survival of the patients with COPD.

C-reactive protein: Its correlations with pulmonary function, physical capacity and anthropometric measurements in patients with metabolic syndrome
Conclusions: It was found negative relationships between CRP level with PF and PC. On the contrary, there were positive correlations of CRP with parameters of BC. We think that it can be provided decline in the CRP level and increment in PF improving the functional capacity and body composition with aerobic exercise in patients with MS.

Association between coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure and age in obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) patients
Conclusions: Coronary artery disease was frequent in OSA pts (more than 20%). We found strongest association between heart failure and age and CAD in OSA patients.

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome and a calculation of cardiovascular risk
In conclusion, overall 10-year cardiovascular risk in a Dutch OSAS population is substantial but lower as reported in earlier studies.

Sleep apnea and asymptomatic carotid stenosis - a complex interaction.
Conclusions—: Sleep apnea is highly prevalent in asymptomatic carotid stenosis. Further, it is associated with arteriosclerotic disease severity as well as presence of hypertension and diabetes. This vascular risk constellation seems to be stronger connected with CSA than with OSA, possibly attributable to carotid chemoreceptor dysfunction. Since sleep apnea is treatable, screening should be embedded in stroke prevention strategies. PMID: 25429400 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

The impact of associated diabetic retinopathy on stroke and severe bleeding risk in diabetic patients with atrial fibrillation: The Loire Valley Atrial Fibrillation Project.
ConclusionCrude rates of stroke/TE increased in a stepwise fashion when non-diabetic AF patients were compared to diabetics with no retinopathy and diabetics with retinopathy. However, we have shown for the first time that the presence of diabetic retinopathy did not emerge as an independent predictor for stroke/TE or severe bleeding on multivariate analysis. Background: Diabetes mellitus is recognized as a stroke risk factor in atrial fibrillation (AF). Diabetics with retinopathy have an increased risk of systemic cardiovascular complications, and also, severe diabetic retinopathy predisposes to ocular bleeds. We hyp...

Risk factors for cardiovascular disease in people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis: a population based study.
ConclusionSeveral cardiovascular risk factors were more prevalent in people with IPF; however this did not account for the increased rate of IHD in this group of patients. Rationale & Objective: People with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) have been shown to be at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease but reasons for this are unknown. The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of common cardiovascular risk factors in people with IPF and the general population and establish the incidence of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke after the diagnosis of IPF, controlling for these risk factors. ...

Chronic disease co-morbidity of asthma and unscheduled asthma care among adults: results of the national telephone health interview survey German Health Update (GEDA) 2009 and 2010.
CONCLUSIONS: The magnitude of chronic disease co-morbidity is substantial in asthma, is related to unscheduled asthma care, and implies a significant number of adults with asthma facing complex healthcare needs. PMID: 24346826 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Perspectives on the reduction in cardiovascular mortality with oral appliance therapy for patients with severe OSA intolerant to CPAP
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a well‐established and independent risk factor for a range of clinical conditions, such as hypertension, stroke and diabetes. Severe OSA (apnea/hypopnea‐index (AHI) > 30/h) significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular mortality. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) is considered the standard of care for patients with severe OSA and an effective treatment with CPAP reduces the risk of OSA‐related cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Oral appliance therapy, particularly with appliances that reduce upper airway collapse by advancing the mandible (OAm), is indicated for ...
