Abstract

There has been a surge of interest in the cardiovascular effects of vitamin D (25(OH)D), preventing the processes leading to vascular wall degeneration and coronary artery disease (CAD). Gender differences have been suggested for vitamin D status, with a higher rate of deficiency occurring especially in post-menopausal women, increasing the risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis. However, to date, few studies have evaluated the differences in 25(OH)D levels according to gender and their impact on the extent of CAD, which was therefore the aim of the present study. In patients undergoing coronary angiography, fasting samples were collected for the assessment of 25(OH)D levels. Significant CAD was defined as at least one vessel stenosis >50%, while severe CAD was defined as left main and/or three-vessel disease. Of the 1811 patients included, 530 (29.3%) were females, who displayed older age (p < 0.001), higher rate of renal failure (p < 0.001), hypertension (p = 0.05), treatment with angiotensin-receptor blockers (p = 0.03) and diuretics (p < 0.001), acute presentation (p < 0.001), higher platelet count (p < 0.001), glycosylated haemoglobin (p = 0.02) and cholesterol (p = 0.001), but an inverse relationship with smoking (p < 0....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.

Antihypertensive Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Antihypertensive drugs are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) which aims to prevent the complications of high blood pressure, such as stroke and myocardial infarction. Discover the latest research on antihypertensive drugs and their mechanism of action 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.
