Baseline adherence to the Mediterranean diet and major cardiovascular events: Prevención con dieta mediterránea trial
2014
Lifestyle modification, particularly dietary changes, is the cornerstone of population-based strategies for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention.1 Recently the Prevención con Dieta Mediterránea (PREDIMED) study,2 a 5-year randomized primary prevention trial (isrctn.org Identifier: ISRCTN35739639), showed a 30% reduction in incident CVD with Mediterranean diet (MeDiet) intervention in comparison with a control diet. At quarterly visits throughout the study, a validated 14-item MeDiet screening tool (Table 1) was used to assess conformity with this dietary pattern.3 Close monitoring of adherence to dietary instructions for CVD prevention is difficult in the clinical setting. Short dietary …
Cardio-oncology in multiple myeloma: is it time for a specific focus?
2017
It has been known for some time that some oncologic drugs can cause heart damage. The term ‘cardiotoxicity’ just refers to the presence of a cardiac event during therapy or at least related to ther...
Relationships between diuretic related hyperuricemia and cardiovascular events: data from the URRAH (URic acid Right for heArt Health) study.
2021
Objective Although the relationship between hyperuricemia and cardiovascular events has been extensively examined, data on the role of diuretic-related hyperuricemia are still scanty. The present study was designed to collect information on the relationship between diuretic-related hyperuricemia and cardiovascular events. Methods The URic acid Right for heArt Health (URRAH) study is a nationwide, multicentre, observational cohort study involving data on individuals recruited from all the Italy territory under the patronage of the Italian Society of Hypertension with an average follow-up period of 122.3 ± 66.9 months. Patients were classified into four groups according to the diuretic use (y…

The cholesterol paradox in atrial fibrillation: results from the LIPIDOGRAM 2015 study
2020
Abstract Background High blood lipid levels are known risk factors for atherosclerotic cardiovascular events, but associations between lipid levels and atrial fibrillation (AF) are unclear. Some previous studies have suggested an inverse association between lipid levels and AF referred to as the “cholesterol paradox”. Purpose To examine the prevalence of AF by differing lipid levels in a large population-based study of almost 14,000 adults in Poland. Methods The LIPIDOGRAM 2015 study is a cross-sectional study of adults aged 18 years and older recruited in Poland in 2015/2016 by 438 family physicians. Poisson regression models with robust variance were used to estimate prevalence ratios (PR…
Sequential cardiovascular magnetic resonance assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction for prediction of subsequent events in a large multicen…
2021
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – EU funding. Main funding source(s): This work was supported by “Instituto de Salud Carlos III” and “Fondos Europeos de Desarrollo Regional FEDER” Background. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is the best tool for left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) quantification, but as yet the prognostic value of sequential LVEF assessment for major adverse cardiac event (MACE) prediction after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is uncertain. Purpose. We explored the prognostic impact of sequential assessment of CMR-derived LVEF after STEMI to predict subsequent MACE. Methods. We recruited 1036 STEMI p…
Role of a medication in polyurethane foam in the treatment of diabetic foot lesions
2010
Background The treatment of diabetic foot lesions need medications capable of managing wound infection and exudates that, variously combined, can influence the natural history of the pathology and therefore limb survival. A particular and economic device, is represented by honeycomb structure polyurethane foam Ligasano ©.
Langzeitverlauf über 10 Jahre nach Ballondilatation bei stabiler und instabiler Angina pectoris
2008
OBJECTIVE To assess the cardiac status of patients ten years after percutaneous transluminal coronary artery angioplasty (PTCA). PATIENTS AND METHODS Data of 534 patients (436 men, 98 women; mean age 53.2 +/- 8 years) in whom a PTCA had been performed between 1983 and 1986 were analysed, based on a questionnaire answered 121 +/- 11 months after the initial procedure. At the time of PTCA 184 patients (35%) had unstable angina, 350 (65%) stable angina. RESULTS 116 patients (63%) with unstable angina and 164 (47%) with stable angina had at least one cardiac event after the initial PTCA (repeat PTCA, bypass operation, myocardial infarction, death). None of these events occurred in 68 patients (…
The interaction between circadian rhythms of endothelial function: resting versus recruitable endothelial function

Undertreatment of dyslipidemia: from the Arabian Gulf to the USA. Time to solve this problem!
2014
Undertreatment of dyslipideamia is a universal problem and reduces the efficasy of hypolipidaemic drugs to reduce cardiovascular event rates. The means to face this problem are available and should be utilized to optimize dyslipidaemia control and clinical outcomes.
