Abstract

Retinal artery lesions have been reported to be a risk marker of morbidity and mortality for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in various study populations. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is also a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, the relationship between retinal artery lesions and NAFLD is less certain. Data were obtained from 2,454 patients who attended their annual health examination (2,143 males and 311 females, aged 62.34 ± 10.03 years). NAFLD was diagnosed by hepatic ultrasonography. Retinal artery lesions were diagnosed according to the criteria. Total plasma cholesterol, plasma triglyceride and fasting glucose levels were determined by using a multichannel analyzer; the body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, incidence of hypertension and coronary artery disease were measured or analyzed by statistical analysis. Patients with NAFLD had older age and higher values of BMI, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, total cholesterol and triglycerides and had a higher incidence of hypertension, coronary artery disease and retinal artery lesions (p < 0.01). Retinal artery lesions were taken as a dependent variable, and age, gender, BMI,...Continue Reading

Biomarkers for Cardiovascular Risk Assessment

Sensitive and accurate biomarkers used in cardiovascular risk prediction can potentially be used to manage the risk of cardiovascular disease. Discover the latest research on Biomarkers for Cardiovascular Risk Assessment here. Discover the latest research on Biomarkers for Cardiovascular Risk Assessment here.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Atherosclerosis Disease Progression

Atherosclerosis is the buildup of plaque on artery walls, causing stenosis which can eventually lead to clinically apparent cardiovascular disease. Find the latest research on atherosclerosis disease progression here.
