Prevalence, incidence and mortality from cardiovascular disease in patients with pooled and specific severe mental illness: a large-scale meta-analys…

2017

People with severe mental illness (SMI) – schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and major depressive disorder – appear at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD), but a comprehensive meta-analysis is lacking. We conducted a large-scale meta-analysis assessing the prevalence and incidence of CVD; coronary heart disease; stroke, transient ischemic attack or cerebrovascular disease; congestive heart failure; peripheral vascular disease; and CVD-related death in SMI patients (N=3,211,768) versus controls (N=113,383,368) (92 studies). The pooled CVD prevalence in SMI patients (mean age 50 years) was 9.9% (95% CI: 7.4-13.3). Adjusting for a median of seven confounders, patients had significantly higher o…

Do We Still Need Organic Nitrates?⁎⁎Editorials published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiologyreflect the views of the authors and do …

2007

Organic nitrates are still quite frequently used for the treatment of acute and chronic angina, and acute and chronic congestive heart failure. When given acutely, their effectiveness is undisputable; however, their long-term efficacy is substantially limited due to the development of tolerance ([1

The role of statins in preventing the progression of congestive heart failure in patients with metabolic syndrome.

2008

Heart Failure (CHF) is a very important public health problem in the world and certainly one of the most common debilitating diseases and cause of mortality. Current knowledge underlines that incidence rates are also influenced by the coexisting pathologic conditions that accelerate the development of disease or increase its severity. Important scientific evidence is emerging to demonstrate a strong correlation between HF and the metabolic syndrome (MetS). Hypolipemia- inducing medication offers the opportunity to discuss the possible existence of pharmacological substances that in addition to their specific targets have several demonstrated pleiotropic effects that could be beneficial in H…
