The metabolic syndrome in hypertensive black population of South Algeria.
CONCLUSION: The MS is highly prevailing among hypertensive black population, and significantly higher among women. The ranking of the cluster elements frequency shows clearly the specifities of our population. It is necessary to elaborate an adequate strategy to prevent such cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. PMID: 26044305 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Relationship Between Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein-2 and Left Ventricular Stroke Volume in Patients with Aortic Stenosis
Conclusions In this study, we documented that lower IGFBP-2 levels are independently associated with lower SVi, a powerful predictor of worse outcomes in the mild to moderate AS population. Teaser In aortic stenosis (AS) patients, LV remodeling and function vary extensively from one patient to another. Considering the associations between circulating IGFBP-2 and markers of the metabolic syndrome, the aim of the study was to examine the relationship between circulating IGFBP-2 and left ventricle (LV) pump function as measured by stroke volume index in AS patients with preserved LV ejection fraction.

Key Points of the Japanese Society of Hypertension Guidelines for the Management of Hypertension in 2014
The Japanese Society of Hypertension (JSH) published the new JSH guidelines for the management of hypertension in 2014, which is the revision of the JSH guidelines of 2009. The primary objective of the guideline is to provide physicians the standard treatment strategy of hypertension to prevent the hypertension-related target organ damage and cardiovascular events. The management of hypertension should be performed in hypertensive patients with a blood pressure of ≥140/90 mm Hg. As Asians have a higher prevalence of stroke than of coronary artery disease and stroke is more steeply associated with the level of blood press...

Habitual snoring and risk of stroke: A meta-analysis of prospective studies
Habitual snoring (HS), which is defined as snoring more than three nights per week, occurs among approximately 33% of the general population [1]. Emerging evidence suggests this increase in HS problems may be due to hypertension [2], diabetes mellitus [3], metabolic syndrome [4], and intima-media thickness (IMT) [5]. In addition, there was mounting evidence for an association between HS and cardiovascular and all-cause mortality [6–8]. However, the role of HS in stroke is still uncertain.

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...

The Efficacy of Fimasartan for Cardiovascular Events and Metabolic Syndrome (K-MetS Study): Rationale, Design and Participant Characteristics
Fimasartan, the eighth angiotensin receptor blocker, was launched in March 2011 and was found to have an excellent efficacy and safety profile in a large cross-sectional population study [Safety and Efficacy of Fimasartan in Patients with Arterial Hypertension (Safe-KanArb); Park et al.: Am J Cardiovasc Drugs 2013;13:47-56]. However, there is no long-term study to evaluate its efficacy for major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and other effects. The purpose of this study (K-MetS study) was to evaluate whether the early reduction of blood pressure (BP) and/or correction of metabolic derangements with fimasartan will af...

Metabolic syndrome in the prediction of cardiovascular events: the potential additive role of hsCRP and adiponectin
Conclusions MS is an important predictor of cardiovascular events and is most harmful in combination with high plasma hsCRP. The clustering of components is especially harmful.

Abstract 185: The Sex Gap among Cardiovascular Disease Encounters in India Session Title: Poster Session I
Conclusion: Untreated or poorly managed AF and CAD can lead to myocardial infarction, stroke and death. A greater awareness of gender differences in AF and CAD, and the impact of factors that are unique to each gender, would contribute to more effective management and better long-term outcomes.Though genetic differences may contribute to greater cardiovascular disease prevalence in men, PINNACLE India’s sizable difference in male and female representation could be indicative of cultural or economic issues limiting access to specialty care for females. Implementing dedicated efforts to understand and reduce gaps in ac...

Echocardiography as a Marker of Cardiac end Organ Injury at a Young age
Abstract Coronary heart disease and stroke are two leading causes of morbidity and mortality. Risk factors have included obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus, and they appear to influence left ventricular mass, geometry, and systolic and diastolic function as well as left atrial size. Echocardiography is a non-invasive tool to assess these effects in children and should be utilized as a preventive as well as a diagnostic modality, as measurements from echocardiography may define an intermediate phenotype between risk and clinical endpoints. Information regarding the pathophysiologic me...

Association between serum uric acid levels and cardiovascular disease in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals
This study sought to determine whether elevated serum uric acid levels are associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in middle-aged and elderly Chinese individuals. Methods: We conducted a population-based cross-sectional study in Shanghai, with a total of 8510 participants aged>=40 years. The CVD included diagnosed coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke. MetS was defined according to the updated National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III criteria for Asian Americans. Results: Uric acid levels were positively associated with BMI, waist circumference, triglycerides, systolic blood pressure, diastol...

Association of soy food intake with risk and biomarkers of coronary heart disease in Chinese men
Soy food intake has been associated with a reduced risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) in women, but its association with CHD in men is unclear . Several studies have found sex differences in the associations of soy intake with metabolic syndrome, endothelial function, and other cardiovascular risk factors . In the Shanghai Men's Health Study , we investigated the association between soy food intake and incident CHD among 55,474 Chinese men (40–74years) who were free of CHD, stroke, and cancer at baseline (2002–2006). We also examined the associations of soy intake with multiple CHD biomarkers in a subsample of 3885 m...
