Increased Cardiovascular Risk in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease
2019, Clinical Gastroenterology and HepatologyInflammation and ventricular-vascular coupling in hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome
2018, Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular DiseasesCitation Excerpt :Chronic inflammation is a common feature of patients with MetS associated with increased LVMi [2]. We previously suggested that at least a part of the cardiovascular risk reported in patients with chronic inflammation could be mediated by an increase in aortic stiffness [3]. Aortic stiffness and reflected waves are increased in patients with chronic high-grade inflammation [4,5] and associated with left ventricular function [6].
Triglycerides and aortic pulse wave velocity in patients with chronic inflammation
2018, Egyptian Heart JournalPulse wave velocity differs between ulcerative colitis and chronic kidney disease
2018, European Journal of Internal MedicineCitation Excerpt :These findings were confirmed in several studies performed by independent groups, in meta-analyses performed by our group [13–15], and in a meta-analysis performed by an independent group that, methodologic issues aside [16], has also reported both increased intima-media thickness and reduced flow-mediated dilation in patients with IBD [17]. These findings, coupled to the elevated risk of coronary heart disease and cerebrovascular accident reported in patients with IBD [18], help to explain the IBD paradox: increased cardiovascular risk with a low prevalence of classic cardiovascular risk factors [19]. Both CKD and ulcerative colitis (UC) are characterized by an increase of aortic stiffness [1,9,11–15,17].
