2. 21. Leptin and the Intersection of Cardiovascular Disease, Metabolism, and Adipose Tissue

   Author : Camilla Vavruch; Fredrik Nyström; Carl Johan Östgren; Johan Ärnlöv; Kristina Boström; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Leptin; Type 2 diabetes mellitus; Adipose tissue; Cardiovascular disease; Metabolism; Cardiovascular risk factors;

   Abstract : According to the World Health Organization, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a group of disorders of the heart and blood vessels, and it is the leading cause of death worldwide. The risk factors for CVD are divided into two major classes: non-modifiable (age, gender, family history) and modifiable (including tobacco use, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), physical inactivity, unhealthy diet, abdominal obesity, high cholesterol, dyslipidemia, and stress).

4. 22. The population burden of gout and urate in Western Sweden : Prevalence, incidence, comorbidities, and association with cardiovascular disease

   Author : Panagiota Drivelegka; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gout; Epidemiology; Comorbidities; Cardiovascular disease;

   Abstract : Background: Gout is the most common type of inflammatory arthritis and is associated with several comorbidities and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, data on the epidemiology and comorbidity patterns of gout in Sweden are scarce, and whether its association with CVD is causal or not, is not clear. READ MORE

5. 23. Targeted multiplex proteomics for risk stratification in patients with cardiovascular disease

   Author : Emma Skau; Pär Hedberg; Jerzy Leppert; Johan Ärnlöv; Eva Swahn; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiovascular disease; proteomics; myocardial infarction; peripheral arterial disease; biomarker; GDF-15; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

   Abstract : Risk stratification is valuable in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Proteins involved in different pathophysiological processes in atherosclerosis have shown prognostic capacity. A new technology, Proximity Extension Assay (PEA), enables the simultaneous analysis of numerous plasma proteins from a minimal amount of plasma. READ MORE

6. 24. Oxidants and antioxidants in cardiovascular disease

   Author : Kim Ekblom; Johan Hultdin; Stefan L Marklund; Lars Breimer; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; first-ever acute myocardial infarction; first-ever stroke; bilirubin; iron; HFE genotypes; UGT1A1*28; prospective; risk factor; Cardiovascular medicine; Kardiovaskulär medicin; Epidemiology; Epidemiologi; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

   Abstract : Background Cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction and stroke, are the main reason of death in Sweden and Western Europe. High iron stores are believed to produce oxygen radicals, which is the presumed putative mechanism behind lipid peroxidation, atherosclerosis and subsequent cardiovascular disease. READ MORE

7. 25. Cardiac abnormalities in chronic kidney disease

   Author : Pavlos Kashioulis; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiovascular; chronic kidney disease; diastolic dysfunction;

   Abstract : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem associated with increased risk of mortality and development of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality even before the development of ESRD. READ MORE
