The Impact

Abstract Background Global longitudinal strain (GLS) of the left ventricle (LV) has proved to be a strong predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. GLS declines throughout adult-life as the LV remodels and adapts. Information on the impact of cardiac risk factors such as male sex, obesity, smoking status, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes on GLS through time has not yet been investigated. Purpose The aim of the present study was to investigate the impact of age, sex, body mass index (BMI), smoking status (current and previous vs never), mean arterial blood pressure (MAP), total plasma cholesterol (TPC), and HbA1c on GLS in the general population over a 10-year period. Method A total of 689 citizens recruited from the general population participated in the 4th and 5th Copenhagen City Heart Study (CCHS4 and CCHS5) a prospective longitudinal study. At CCHS4 the mean age was 51 years and 45% were male. The average decline in GLS during the follow-up period was −0.65%. All participants underwent two echocardiographic examinations median 10.4 [IQR: 10.2, 10.9] years apart along with thorough health examinations. All analyses were adjusted for baseline GLS value (CCHS4 value). Results In regression models, increasing age, male sex, increasing BMI, MAP, hypertension, increasing HbA1c, and diabetes proved to be significantly associated with increased decline in GLS. Relationship between significant continuous cardiovascular risk factors and ΔGLS are displayed in restricted spline curves (Figure 1). In a multivariable regression model including all the investigated cardiovascular risk factors, estimated glomerular filtration rate, plasma pro B-type natriuretic peptide, heart rate, and previous ischemic heart disease, age (standardized β-coef. = −0.10, P=0.005), male sex (standardized β-coef. = −0.16, P<0.001), and MAP (standardized β-coef. = −0.07, P=0.009) remained independent predictors of an accelerated decline in GLS during a 10-year period. Restricted cubic spline curves Conclusion In the general population increasing age, male sex, and increasing MAP are all independently associated with an accelerated decline in GLS over a 10-year period.

IntroductionPsychiatric patients have high rates of cardiovascular disease compared with the general population, but little is known about the prevalence of metabolic syndrome that predisposes them to this condition.ObjectivesAssess the presence of metabolic syndrome in psychiatric patients on an outpatient basis and compare their rates with those for the general population.MethodsA sample of 80 patients followed for six months in a mental health center of San Sebastian were interviewed and assessed, diagnose metabolic syndrome according to the criteria of the ATP-III guide. The results were compared with those of a representative sample of the general population of that health care settings.ResultsThe mean age of patients was 52 years, with 57% of women. The prevalence of current smoking was 36.4% (general population = 32%) of obesity of 41.4% (PG = 16.6%), hypertension 30.8% (PG = 15.3%), diabetes mellitus 12.4% (PG = 6.8%), and dyslipidemia of 30.4% (PG = 11.1%). 41.4% of patients in the study met diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome, while this figure was 24% in the general population and took place at a later age. 60% of patients with metabolic abnormality was not receiving adequate treatment.ConclusionsThe prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in psychiatric outpatients is very high and requires the application of treatment protocols to improve their physical health.

Dietary Education

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dietary education on cardiovascular risk factors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Method: In this randomized clinical trial, 112 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were randomly assigned into two groups, intervention and control. Dietary education was provided for the intervention group in 4 sessions; anthropometric measurements, serum levels of RF, triglycerides, cholesterol, HDL, LDL, and fasting blood sugar were measured before and three months after intervention. Data was analyzed using SPSS software and appropriate statistical tests. Results: The mean of total cholesterol (p <0.001), triglycerides (p = 0.004), LDL (p <0.001), systolic blood pressure (p = 0.001), diastolic blood pressure (p = 0.003), FBS and BMI (p <0.001) were decreased significantly in the intervention group after education compared the control group. Conclusion: Traditional care for rheumatoid arthritis patients is not enough. Patients need more education in order to improve their situation.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most frequent cause of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Etiopathogenic and prognostic characteristics in young patients may differ from older patients and young women may present worse outcomes than men. We aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of men and women with premature STEMI. Methods: A total 1404 consecutive patients were referred to our institution for emergency cardiac catheterization due to STEMI suspicion (1 January 2014–31 December 2018). Patients with confirmed premature (<55 years old in men and <60 in women) STEMI (366 patients, 83% men and 17% women) were included (359 atherothrombotic and 7 spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD)). Results: Premature STEMI patients had a high prevalence of classical cardiovascular risk factors. Mean follow-up was 4.1 years (±1.75 SD). Mortality rates, re-hospitalization, and hospital stay showed no significant differences between sexes. More than 10% of women with premature STEMI suffered SCAD. There were no significant differences between sexes, neither among cholesterol levels nor in hypolipemiant therapy. The global survival rates were similar to that expected in the general population of the same sex and age in our region with a significantly higher excess of mortality at 6 years among men compared with the general population. Conclusion: Our results showed a high incidence of cardiovascular risk factors, a high prevalence of SCAD among young women, and a generally good prognosis after standardized treatment. During follow-up, 23% suffered a major cardiovascular event (MACE), without significant differences between sexes and observed survival at 1, 3, and 6 years of follow-up was 96.57% (95% CI 94.04–98.04), 95.64% (95% CI 92.87–97.35), and 94.5% (95% CI 91.12–97.66). An extra effort to prevent/delay STEMI should be invested focusing on smoking avoidance and optimal hypolipemiant treatment both in primary and secondary prevention.

We examined the associations of dietary fiber and its source with cardiovascular risk factors in Korean adults. This cross-sectional study involved 16,792 adults from the 2013–2018 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data. Dietary data were obtained using a 24 h recall method and used to evaluate intakes of total dietary fiber and its source and fruit consumption. Cardiovascular risk factors included obesity, abdominal obesity, metabolic syndrome, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. Multiple logistic regression was used to examine the associations of dietary fiber and its source with cardiovascular risk factors by sex. Total fiber and fruit fiber intake in men were inversely associated with metabolic syndrome (Q5 vs. Q1: odds ratios (OR) = 0.69, 95% confidence intervals (CI) = 0.53–0.92 for total fiber; Q4 vs. Q1: OR = 0.76, 95% CI = 0.61–0.93 for fruit fiber). Among women, a higher intake of fruit fiber was related to a reduced prevalence of obesity (Q4 vs. Q1: OR = 0.85, p trend = 0.029) and abdominal obesity (Q4 vs. Q1: OR = 0.82, p trend = 0.026). Total fruit and whole fruit consumption was inversely associated with obesity, abdominal obesity, and metabolic syndrome in men and hypertension in women. The amount and sources of fiber are associated with metabolic diseases in Korean adults and should be considered in the context of overall dietary quality.
