Abstract

Objectives. To examine the associations between smokeless tobacco use, smoking, cardiovascular risk factors, inflammation and ultrasound-assessed measures of atherosclerosis in the carotid and femoral arteries. Subjects. The study was performed in a population-based sample of clinically healthy men (n = 391) all 58 years old. Exclusion criteria were cardiovascular or other clinically overt diseases or continuous medication with cardiovascular drugs. Methods. The habits of smoking and oral moist snuff use were assessed by questionnaires. C-reactive protein (CRP) was assessed by high sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Intima-media thickness (IMT) in the carotid bulb, the common carotid artery and the common femoral artery and plaque occurrence were measured by ultrasound. Results. The use of oral moist snuff was associated with serum triglycerides and waist-hip ratio (WHR), but not with CRP or ultrasound-assessed measures of subclinical atherosclerosis. Smoking, on the other hand, was associated with CRP, the components in the metabolic syndrome and IMT as well as plaques in the carotid and femoral arteries. In comparison to never-smokers the current smokers had higher values of WHR, triglycerides, C-reactive pr...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Inflammation

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, an understanding of these endogenous processes is critical for evaluating the risks and potential treatment strategies. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular inflammation 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.
