| 1 | Newer perspectives of coronary artery disease in young显示文摘Coronary artery disease(CAD) occurring in less than 45 years of age is termed as young CAD.Recent studies show a prevalence of 1.2% of CAD cases in this age group.Ethnic wise south Asians especially Indians are more vulnerable to have CAD in young age group with a prevalence of 5% to 10%.Conventional risk factors such as smoking,diabetes,hypertension,obesity and family history seems to be as important as in older CAD subjects.But the prevalence of these risk factors seems to vary in younger subjects.By far the most commonly associated risk factor is smoking in young CAD.Several genes associated with lipoprotein metabolism are now found to be associated with young CAD like cholesterol ester transfer protein(CETP) gene,hepatic lipase gene,lipoprotein lipase gene,apo A1 gene,apo E gene and apo B.Biomarkers such as lipoprotein(a),fibrinogen,D-dimer,serum Wnt,gamma glutamyl transferase,vitamin D2 and osteocalcin are seems to be associated with premature CAD in some newer studies.In general CAD in young has better prognosis than older subjects.In terms of prognosis two risk factors obesity and current smoking are associated with poorer outcomes.Angiographic studies shows predominance of single vessel disease in young CAD patients.Like CAD in older person primary and secondary prevention plays an important role in prevention of new and further coronary events. | Amitesh Aggarwal Saurabh Srivastava M Velmurugan | 2016 | World Journal of Cardiology2016,8,12: | 13 |
| 2 | Helicobacter pylori:Does it add to risk of coronary artery disease显示文摘Helicobacter pylori(H. pylori) is a known pathogen implicated in genesis of gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric carcinoma and gastric lymphoma. Beyond the stomach, the organism has also been implicated in the causation of immune thrombocytopenia and iron deficiency anemia. Although an area of active clinical research, the role of this gram negative organism in causation of atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease(CAD) remains enigmatic. CAD is a multifactorial disease which results from the atherosclerosis involving coronaryarteries. The major risk factors include age, diabetes mellitus, smoking, hypertension and dyslipidemia. The risk of coronary artery disease is believed to increase with chronic inflammation. Various organisms like Chlamydia and Helicobacter have been suspected to have a role in genesis of atherosclerosis via causation of chronic inflammation. This paper focuses on available evidence to ascertain if the role of H. pylori in CAD causation has been proven beyond doubt and if eradication may reduce the risk of CAD or improve outcomes in these patients. | Vishal Sharma Amitesh Aggarwal | 2015 | World Journal of Cardiology2015,7,1: | 7 |
| 3 | Central obesity,hypertension and coronary artery disease: The seed and soil hypothesis显示文摘Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a multifactorial disease wherein hereditary and environmental factors play a major role. Our hypothesis is that an individual’s genetic profile functions as soil while various environmental factors such as physical inactivity, smoking, stress etc. act as seeds in the etiopathogenesis of CAD. Much of the information regarding genetic and environmental factors can be determined in a pedigree chart by taking a history of the index patient, including details of major risk factors such as age, sex, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, coronary artery disease and stroke in the family. Preparing such a chart is a cost-effective way of initiating primary preventive measures in patients in a developing economy. The advantage of a detailed pedigree chart is to provide a snapshot view of the evident and underlying risk factors in the family as a whole, and not to merely study conventional risk factors. It elucidates the hidden stressors and hereditary factors responsible for cardiovascular disease in the family. We report herein an illustrative pedigree chart which exemplifies our above hypothesis. | Shridhar Dwivedi Amitesh Aggarwal | 2011 | World Journal of Cardiology2011,3,1: | 0 |
