Carotid intima–media thickness, but not chronic kidney disease independently associates with noncardiac arterial vascular events in South Africa
Aim: Although chronic kidney disease (CKD) as determined from estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is recommended for risk prediction by current hypertension guidelines, the equations to derive eGFR may not perform well in black Africans. We compared whether across the adult lifespan, eGFR or CKD are as closely associated with noncardiac arterial vascular events, as carotid intima–media thickness (IMT), in Africa. Methods: In 1152 black South Africans [480 with noncardiac arterial events (294 with critical lower limb ischemia, 186 with stroke) of which 37% were premature] and 672 age, sex and ethnicity-matche...

Poor Sleep Linked To Dangerous Plaque Buildup In Arteries
By Sandee LaMotte, CNN (CNN) — Here’s another reason why getting a good night’s sleep should be on your must-do list: Sleeping fewer than six hours a night or waking frequently raises your risk of developing damaging plaque in arteries throughout your body, not just your heart. Previous research has shown poor sleep to be strongly associated with coronary heart disease, but “This is the first study to show that objectively measured sleep is independently associated with atherosclerosis throughout the body,” José Ordovás, director of nutrition and genomics at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutriti...

Characteristics of patients presenting with myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) in Poland: data from the ORPKI national registry
AbstractMyocardial infarction (MI) with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) is an important clinical problem especially in the era of extensive utilization of coronary angiography in MI patients. Its pathophysiology is poorly understood which makes diagnostics and treatment of MINOCA challenging in everyday clinical practice. The aim of the study was to assess characteristics of MINOCA patients in Poland based on data from the Polish National ORPKI Registry. In 2016, 49,893 patients with non-ST-segment elevation (NSTEMI) or ST-segment elevation (STEMI) myocardial infarction entered the ORPKI registry. MINOCA was def...

Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: An Uncommon Cause of Papilledema on Bedside Ocular Ultrasound
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare, difficult-to-diagnose form of venous thromboembolic disease and is considered a type of stroke. Its presentation is highly variable and may be easily confused for more common and less debilitating or life-threatening diagnoses such as migraine, seizure, or idiopathic intracranial hypertension.

Another Chance for Medtronic ’s Renal Denervation Therapy
Medtronic has yet another chance to prove its renal denervation therapy can treat uncontrolled hypertension. The Dublin-based company has received FDA approval to begin a clinical trial to evaluate the Symplicity Spyral renal denervation system with patients on medication for high blood pressure. The ON MED Trial is a 2:1 randomized, sham-controlled study and will randomize up to 340 patients at 55 centers in the U.S., Japan, Europe, Australia and Canada. Patients will be followed out to three years. Primary safety endpoints will include major adverse events at one month and new renal artery stenosis at six months. The pri...

Comparison of Carotid Ultrasound Indices and the Triglyceride Glucose Index in Hypertensive and Normotensive Community-Dwelling Individuals: A Case Control Study for Evaluating Atherosclerosis.
Conclusions: HTN was an independent risk of carotid IMT thickening and atherosclerosis. TyG index could only predict the CCA IMT independent of other risk factors (OR = 2.09; CI = 1.07⁻4.09). PMID: 30344302 [PubMed - in process]

Prevalence and determinants of the increased carotid intima-media thickness in a population of 1203 black African hypertensive.
CONCLUSION: Increased carotid intima-media thickness is frequent in Togolese hypertension. The determining factors are age, duration of arterial hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy and stroke. The systematic measurement of the carotid intima-media thickness would better evaluate the overall cardiovascular risk for our patients. PMID: 30290917 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Maternal hemodynamics in screen positive and negative women of the ASPRE trial.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients who screen positive for impaired placentation, even if they do not develop PE or deliver SGA neonates, have pathological cardiac adaptation in pregnancy and increased risk of adverse perinatal outcome.

Evaluation of the effects of right ventricular pressure load on left ventricular myocardial mechanics in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by ultrasound speckle tracking imaging.
CONCLUSIONS: Left ventricular whole peak rotation angle can be used to sensitively evaluate the change of left ventricular myocardial mechanics function in PH patients, and can reflect changes of left ventricular myocardial mechanics function in patients with COPD when mild PH occurs.

Atherosclerosis in systemic lupus erythematosus
Publication date: June 2017Source: Best Practice & Research Clinical Rheumatology, Volume 31, Issue 3Author(s): Sara Croca, Anisur RahmanAbstractCardiovascular disease (CVD), comprising coronary heart disease and stroke, is one of the most important causes of death in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The risks of developing both clinical CVD and sub-clinical atherosclerosis are increased in patients with SLE. This increase is not fully explained by traditional cardiovascular risk factors such as smoking, hypertension and elevated cholesterol, and it is believed that immune dysfunction also contributes to C...

Common Carotid Artery Diameter and Risk of Cardiovascular Events and MortalityNovelty and Significance Epidemiology/Population
Carotid arterial diameter enlargement is a manifestation of arterial remodeling and may be a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). We evaluated the association between carotid artery diameter and risk of stroke, coronary heart disease, CVD, and all-cause mortality and explored whether the associations could be explained by processes involved in arterial remodeling, that is, blood pressure–related media thickening, arterial stiffness, arterial wall stress, and atherosclerosis. We included 4887 participants (mean age 67±9 years; 54% women) from 4 cohort studies: Rotterdam Study, NEPHROTEST, Hoorn Study, and a stud...
