Hypercholesterolemia has been recognized as a significant risk factor for atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of hypercholesterolemia and the role, if any, of type of dialysis. In 19 hemodialysis (HD) and 20 continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) subjects, body weight, body mass index (BMI), arm muscle area (AMA), total choles terol (C), HDL and LDL fractions, triglycerldes, C/HDL ratio, glycosilated hemoglobin, and apolipoproteins AI, All, B, CII, CllI, and E were evaluated. Hypercholesterolemia was defined as cholesterol greater than 220 mg/dL and LDL greater than 150 mg/dL. Body weight, body mass index, and arm muscle area were higher (p<0.05) in CAPD as compared with HD; so were total cholesterol, LDL, C/HDL ratio, and glycosllated hemoglobin (Hbalc). Hypercholesterolemia prevalence was 3/19 in HD and 11/20 in CAPD (p<0.05). A relationship between Hbalc and C/HDL ratio was found in the CAPD group (r=0.48; p<0.05). We are greatly concerned about these metabolic effects of CAPD; therefore, we should carefully select patients to be treated by CAPD. Aggressive nutritional and pharmacological treatment for glucose Intolerance and hypercholesterolemia In CAPD patients must be performed in order to reduce the incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Background and Aim. Obesity is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and may be associated with more severe coronary artery disease (CAD); however, the relationship between body mass index [BMI (kg/m2)] and CAD severity is uncertain and debatable. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between BMI and angiographic severity of CAD. Methods. Duke Jeopardy Score (DJS), a prognostic tool predictive of 1-year mortality in CAD, was assigned to angiographic data of patients ≥18 years of age (N=8,079). Patients were grouped into 3 BMI categories: normal (18.5–24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25.0–29.9 kg/m2), and obese (≥30 kg/m2); and multivariable adjusted hazard ratios for 1-year all-cause and cardiac-specific mortality were calculated. Results. Cardiac risk factor prevalence (e.g., diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia) significantly increased with increasing BMI. Unadjusted all-cause and cardiac-specific 1-year mortality tended to rise with incremental increases in DJS, with the exception of DJS 6 (p<0.001). After adjusting for potential confounders, no significant association of BMI and all-cause (HR 0.70, 95% CI .48–1.02) or cardiac-specific (HR 1.11, 95% CI .64–1.92) mortality was found. Conclusions. This study failed to detect an association of BMI with 1-year all-cause or cardiac-specific mortality after adjustment for potential confounding variables.

AbstractThe basic anthropometric data describing a person in the broadest context are body weight and height, two of the most frequently analyzed somatometric parameters. The same is true I in relation to clinical patients. The aim of the present study was to compare the self-reported and actual body weight, height and BMI in patients suffering from coronary artery disease and undergoing cardiac rehabilitation. The study sample consisted of 100 patients treated for coronary artery disease. The patients were asked to state their body weight and height. At the same time a three-person study team took measurements, which were later the basis for verification and objective assessment of the data provided by the patients. Statistical analysis was performed with Statistics 11.0 PL software. The analysis of mean results for the assessed group of patients has shown the presence of statistically significant differences between declared and actual data. The differences were observed for both male and female study population. It has been proven that the subjects declare greater body height (mean value 1.697 m vs. 1.666 m) and lower body weight (80.643 kg vs. 82.051 kg). Based on the data from surveys and direct measurements, the body mass index for the self-reported and actual data was calculated. A comparison of these values has shown considerable statistically significant differences. The differences between declared and actual data point to highly subjective self-assessment, which disqualifies the declared data in the context of monitoring of treatment and rehabilitation processes. The authors believe that actual data should be used in direct trial examination of patients suffering from coronary artery disease who presented with acute coronary syndrome.
