Abstract Background and Aims The aim of the study is to evaluate whether circulating fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) predicts cardiovascular mortality in dialysis patients, independent of markers of calcium-phosphate metabolism and cardiovascular risk factors. Method A prospective observational study at Akdeniz University Medical Center including 51 peritoneal dialysis patients and 27 hemodialysis patients was undertaken from 01/2009 to 12/2019. Plasma C-terminal FGF23 concentrations in addition to other measures of mineral metabolism were performed at baseline. Patients were followed for all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, non-fatal MI, non-fatal stroke, coronary revascularization, heart failure hospitalization and atrial fibrillation. Results The mean age of patients 48± 15 years. During a ten year follow up period, there were 47 deaths. The median plasma FGF23 level was 321 pg/ml (interquartile range 51-1784 pg/ml). Patients were stratified by their baseline FGF23 levels according to the tertiles. Cumulative survival analysis by tertiles of FGF23 were made with the Kaplan-Meier survival curve. Kaplan Meier analysis with log-rank did reveal a significant difference between the groups (p=0,048). Conclusion Higher FGF23 levels are associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular mortality in dialysis patients, independent of other markers of calcium-phosphate metabolism and cardiovascular risk factors.

Background: The association between obesity and a reduction in life expectancy is well established, and cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of mortality. Bariatric surgery has long been established as the most effective and durable intervention for obesity, and is the only intervention for obesity that consistently improves multiple comorbidities, reduces cardiovascular disease and long-term mortality. The purpose of this review article is to describe the impact of metabolic/bariatric surgery on type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiometabolic parameters, including cardiovascular mortality. Methods: A systematic literature search of Pubmed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Central Register was performed. We included randomized controlled trials, metanalysis, case-control trials, and cohort studies that contain data on reductions in cardiovascular risk factors and cardiovascular mortality in subjects who underwent metabolic/bariatric surgery from January 1, 2005, to June 1, 2020. Conclusion: There is sufficient evidence of randomized controlled trials that metabolic/bariatric surgery is associated with a significant improvement of all cardiovascular risk factors. Although studies are showing a reduction of macrovascular events and cardiovascular mortality, these findings come from observational studies and should be confirmed in randomized clinical trials.

Abstract Context Serum cortisol may be associated with cardiovascular risk factors and mortality in patients undergoing coronary angiography, but previous data on this topic are limited and controversial. Objective We evaluated whether morning serum cortisol is associated with cardiovascular risk factors, lymphocyte subtypes, and mortality. Methods This is a prospective cohort study performed at a tertiary care centre in south-west Germany between 1997 and 2000. We included 3052 study participants who underwent coronary angiography. The primary outcome measures were cardiovascular risk factors, lymphocyte subtypes, and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality. Results Serum cortisol was associated with an adverse cardiovascular risk profile, but there was no significant association with coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndrome. In a subsample of 2107 participants, serum cortisol was positively associated with certain lymphocyte subsets, including CD16+CD56+ (natural killer) cells (P < 0.001). Comparing the fourth versus the first serum cortisol quartile, the crude Cox proportional hazard ratios (with 95% CIs) were 1.22 (1.00-1.47) for all-cause and 1.32 (1.04-1.67) for cardiovascular mortality, respectively. After adjustments for various cardiovascular risk factors, these associations were attenuated to 0.93 (0.76-1.14) for all-cause, and 0.97 (0.76-1.25) for cardiovascular mortality, respectively. Conclusions Despite significant associations with classic cardiovascular risk factors and natural killer cells, serum cortisol was not a significant and independent predictor of mortality in patients referred to coronary angiography. These findings might reflect that adverse cardiovascular effects of cortisol could be counterbalanced by some cardiovascular protective actions.

Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death among hemodialysis patients. Although uremia by itself may be considered to be a cardiovascular risk factor, a significant proportion of dialysis patients die because of cardiovascular disease not directly attributable to uremia. Indeed, many of the cardiovascular diseases and cardiovascular risk factors in these patients are common to those occurring in the general population and are amenable to intervention. Lack of proper medical care during the early stages of renal insufficiency and present-day dialysis routines, by failing to correct hypertension, hypervolemia and left ventricular hypertrophy in many patients, may also add to the cardiovascular burden. The author suggests that, in addition to early treatment and referral to a specialist, chronic renal failure patients should undergo intensive cardiovascular screening and treatment, and correction of cardiovascular risk factors based on guidelines established for the general population.
