Abstract Background Suicide and cardiovascular disease rank among the leading causes of disability and premature mortality worldwide. Young adult suicide attempters are at increased risk of mortality from cardiovascular disease even compared to those with major depressive disorder suggesting an increased burden of cardiovascular risk factors. We compared the cardiovascular risk burden between youth attempters and other high-risk individuals. Methods Participants were from the Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys (CPES), a U.S. population-based study, aged 18–30 years [suicide attempt (SA): n = 303; suicidal ideation (SI): n = 451; controls: n = 3671]; and psychiatric inpatients admitted for a SA (n = 38) or SI (n = 40) and healthy controls (n = 37) aged 15–30 years. We computed a cardiovascular risk score and high- and low-risk latent classes based on risk factors of high blood pressure, obesity, and smoking. Results Suicide attempters showed an increased cardiovascular risk score (CPES: B = 0.43, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.31–0.54, p < 0.001; inpatient sample: B = 1.61, 95% CI 0.53–2.68, p = 0.004) compared to controls. They were also more likely to be classified in the high cardiovascular risk group (CPES: odds ratio (OR) 3.36, 95% CI 1.67–6.78, p = 0.001; inpatient sample: OR 9.89, 95% CI 1.38–85.39, p = 0.03) compared to those with SI (CPES: OR 1.15, 95% CI 0.55–2.39, p = 0.71; inpatient sample: OR 1.91, 95% CI 0.25–15.00, p = 0.53). Conclusions Youth attempters show an increased burden for cardiovascular risk compared to other high-risk individuals in inpatient and population-based samples. Clinicians should pay particular attention to cardiovascular risk factors among suicide attempters in order to reduce their risk for cardiovascular events.

Cardiovascular Risk Score

The development of cardiovascular disease in adults has been directly linked to a metabolic phenotype that includes hypertension, obesity and dyslipidemia. While there is evidence that the development of these risk factors in childhood is linked with persistence into adulthood and eventual development of cardiovascular disease, less is known about whether these risk factors contribute to target organ damage during childhood. We collected data from 379 otherwise healthy adolescents (mean age 15.5 +/- 1.8, 60% male, 37% Non-White) across the blood pressure spectrum to determine if there is a metabolic phenotype that predicts target organ damage in adolescents. A cardiovascular risk score was calculated (1 point each for: LDL >155 or HDL <40 or TG >150; BMI > 95%; fasting glucose >100; HOMA-IR > 2.5). Generalized linear models were constructed to determine if the cardiovascular risk score was independently associated with measures of target organ damage. Cardiovascular risk score was significantly associated increased left ventricular mass index (β = 1.64, R 2 0.19) , increased pulse wave velocity (β = 0.05, R 2 0.21) and several echocardiographic parameters of diastolic dysfunction (e’/a’: β = -0.07 R 2 0.27; E/A: β = -0.04, R 2 0.11; E/e’: β =0.03, R 2 0.13) after correction for age, sex, race, HR, creatinine, uric acid and log CRP (all models P<0.0009). We found no association with peak longitudinal strain or microalbuminuria. Our study suggests that presence of cardiovascular risk factors in adolescence predicts target organ damage at a young age and could potentially be modified to prevent progression of disease.

Risk Scale

Background:Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an inflammatory arthritis associated with psoriasis. In addition to skin and joint involvement, there is a growing evidence suggesting that patients with PsA also have increased risk of clinical and subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD), mostly due to endothelial dysfunction and accelerated atherosclerosis, which are the main causes of elevated mortality rate among patients with PsA. For prevention and monitoring progression of CVD in clinical practice scale SCORE usually used, but it isn’t adapted for checking in patients with autoimmune diseases and can be used only for patients after forty years old.Objectives:To check a cardiovascular risk in patient with PsA using Q-risk scale.Methods:In total, ninety-four patients with PsA, who fulfilled the disease criteria (CASPAR) were examined using standard diagnostic methods (including C-reactive protein, lipid profile). The QRISK-3 and SCORE scales were used to assess the 10-year risk of CVD.Results:Intermediate (12.4 ± 0,75 %) risk of adverse cardiovascular events within the next 10 years was estimated for PsA patients and it was 7 to 8 – fold higher than the Q - score of a healthy age, sex, and ethnicity – matched subjects. Using classical SCORE, the risk was estimated as low (1,9±0.24 %). Healthy Heart Age was about 25 % higher than predicted as assessed by QRISK.Conclusion:The Q-risk Scale considers not only classical of such risk factors as age, sex, smoking, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol (which used SCORE) but also index of atherogenity, BMI, family history of coronary artery disease, treatment with antihypertensive drugs and glucocorticosteroids, comorbidity, systemic inflammatory disease and can be used for different age groups and ethnicity.Q-risk scale appears to be adaptive and informative in patients with chronic inflammatory and autoimmune diseases as compared with SCORE, because it uses mostly all important etiological and trigger factors of CVD especially presence autoimmune inflammatory process in our case.References:[1]Abrar Ahmed Wagan.

Background: Cardiovascular disease incidence is rising in Nigeria. This study was done to identify cardiovascular risk factors and assess the 10-year cardiovascular risk score of healthcare workers of a tertiary hospital in south-western Nigeria. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study, apparently healthy workers of a tertiary hospital in Nigeria were studied. Fifty-two individuals were recruited into the study. Anthropometric measures, blood pressure, fasting lipid profile and HbA1c were obtained using the standard protocols. QRISK3 score was also calculated. Results: The Mean±SD age of participants was 44.9±8.1 years. Dyslipidaemia was the most common risk factor among apparently healthy healthcare workers, while glucose intolerance was the least common. Also, 48.1% of the subjects had at least one cardiovascular risk factor and 15.4% had 3 or more cardiovascular risk factors. The 10-year cardiovascular risk using QRISK3 was moderate in 3.8%. There was no statistically significant difference in the 10-year cardiovascular risk score between the clinical and non-clinical healthcare workers (P=0.313; t=0.819). However, male participants had a significantly higher 10-year cardiovascular risk score compared with the females (3.50 vs. 1.56; P<0.001; t=3.741). Conclusion: Cardiovascular risk factors are prevalent among health workers and closer attention needs to be paid to these factors by the hospital management to mitigate cardiovascular disease among the staff.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality has increased in the Iranian population. Word Health Organization (WHO) risk score was recently used in Iranian prevention and control of non-communicable disease programs for risk assessment. The purpose of the study was to compare the 10-year cardiovascular risk using atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and WHO risk score. In a cross-sectional study, data from patients with cardiac symptoms without any documents related to CVD were collected from the outpatient clinic. The proportion of subjects with high CVD risk according to ASCVD and WHO risk score and also agreement between two scores was presented. The sensitivity and specificity of ASCVD according to the WHO risk score as a national risk assessment tool were calculated. The study included 284 subjects with a mean age of 53.80 (8.78) years and 68 % of women. The frequency of subjects with high CVD risk based on ASCVD and WHO was 35% and 6%, respectively. The agreement between the two scores was moderate (κ=0.45), with the most agreement in identifying low-risk subjects. The sensitivity and specificity of ASCVD according to the WHO risk score was 95.3% and 75.1%, respectively. The present finding showed that Agreement between two risk scores was moderated, especially in stratifying low-risk subjects. But, the ASCVD risk score categorized more people as a high risk rather than the WHO tool. Assessment of the accuracy of the WHO risk score with comparing predicted risk with observed risk in a cohort study for the Iranian population is necessary.
