Predictors of smoking cessation among smokers with cardiovascular diseases and risks factors in the French smoking cessation services national databa…
2022
Background: Smoking represents a major modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), particularly in women. The smoking prevalence in France is among the highest in Europe, and the identification of factors associated with smoking cessation in high-risk CV populations remains poorly studied, specifically when potential sex-disparities might exist. The objective of this work was firstly to describe the current state of knowledge on the association between tobacco consumption and CVD risk in women, through a literature review. Then, using the French national smoking cessation consultations database - CDTnet, to describe the socio-demographic profile, medical profile and smoking be…
Telomere length and cardiovascular disease
2010
SummaryTelomeres are structures composed of deoxyribonucleic acid repeats that protect the end of chromosomes, but shorten with each cell division. They have been the subject of many studies, particularly in the field of oncology, and more recently their role in the onset, development and prognosis of cardiovascular disease has generated considerable interest. It has already been shown that these structures may deteriorate at the beginning of the atherosclerotic process, in the onset and development of arterial hypertension or during myocardial infarction, in which their length may be a predictor of outcome. As telomere length by its nature is a marker of cell senescence, it is of particula…
