Cardiovascular/Stroke Risk Stratification in Parkinson's Disease Patients Using Atherosclerosis Pathway and Artificial Intelligence Paradigm: A Systematic Review. Metabolites 2022; 12:metabo12040312. [PMID: 35448500 PMCID: PMC9033076 DOI: 10.3390/metabo12040312] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2022] [Revised: 03/25/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a severe, incurable, and costly condition leading to heart failure. The link between PD and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is not available, leading to controversies and poor prognosis. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already shown promise for CVD/stroke risk stratification. However, due to a lack of sample size, comorbidity, insufficient validation, clinical examination, and a lack of big data configuration, there have been no well-explained bias-free AI investigations to establish the CVD/Stroke risk stratification in the PD framework. The study has two objectives: (i) to establish a solid link between PD and CVD/stroke; and (ii) to use the AI paradigm to examine a well-defined CVD/stroke risk stratification in the PD framework. The PRISMA search strategy selected 223 studies for CVD/stroke risk, of which 54 and 44 studies were related to the link between PD-CVD, and PD-stroke, respectively, 59 studies for joint PD-CVD-Stroke framework, and 66 studies were only for the early PD diagnosis without CVD/stroke link. Sequential biological links were used for establishing the hypothesis. For AI design, PD risk factors as covariates along with CVD/stroke as the gold standard were used for predicting the CVD/stroke risk. The most fundamental cause of CVD/stroke damage due to PD is cardiac autonomic dysfunction due to neurodegeneration that leads to heart failure and its edema, and this validated our hypothesis. Finally, we present the novel AI solutions for CVD/stroke risk prediction in the PD framework. The study also recommends strategies for removing the bias in AI for CVD/stroke risk prediction using the PD framework.

Abstract
Dementia is one of the most disabling non-motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Unlike in Alzheimer’s disease, the vascular pathology in PD is less documented. Due to the uncertain role of commonly investigated metabolic or vascular factors, e.g., hypertension or diabetes, other factors corresponding to PD dementia have been proposed. Associated dysautonomia and dopaminergic treatment seem to have an impact on diurnal blood pressure (BP) variability, which may presumably contribute to white matter hyperintensities (WMH) development and cognitive decline. We aim to review possible vascular and metabolic factors: Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy), as well as the dopaminergic treatment, in the etiopathogenesis of PD dementia. Additionally, we focus on the role of polymorphisms within the genes for catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT), apolipoprotein E (APOE), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and for renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system components, and their contribution to cognitive decline in PD. Determining vascular risk factors and their contribution to the cognitive impairment in PD may result in screening, as well as preventive measures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Autonomic dysfunction is a well-known dominant symptom in the advanced stages of Parkinson's disease. However, the role of cardiac sympathetic nerves still needs to be elucidated. OBJECTIVES To evaluate cardiac sympathetic response in Parkinsonian and dyskinetic monkeys. METHODS Adult male monkeys were divided into 1 of the following 3 groups: controls, 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-treated monkeys, and 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine+levodopa-treated animals. Noradrenaline, its metabolite normetanephrine, and phospho-Heat shock proten 27 (p-Hsp27) at serine 82 levels were analyzed in the left and right ventricles of the heart. Tyrosine hydroxylase immunohistochemistry was performed in the ventral mesencephalon. RESULTS The results were the following: (1) 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine intoxication significantly increased normetanephrine levels and decreased noradrenaline turnover in the right ventricle without changes in the left ventricle; however, (2) levodopa treatment decreased noradrenaline levels and enhanced the normetanephrine/noradrenaline ratio in parallel with a very significant increase of Hsp27 activity in both ventricles. CONCLUSIONS Levodopa treatment could induce protective cardiac effects through the increased Hsp27 activity. © 2019 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract
We aimed to explore the effects of bilateral subthalamic nucleus stimulation and levodopa on cardiovascular autonomic function in Parkinson’s disease. Twenty-six Parkinson’s disease patients with bilateral subthalamic nucleus stimulation in a stable state were tested under stimulation off and dopaminergic medication off (OFF-OFF), stimulation on and dopaminergic medication off (ON-OFF), and stimulation on and medication (levodopa) on (ON-ON) conditions by recording continuously blood pressure, ECG, and respiration at rest, during metronomic deep breathing, and head-up tilt test. Thirteen patients were diagnosed as orthostatic hypotension by head-up tilt test. Baroreflex sensitivity and spectral analyses were performed by trigonometric regressive spectral analysis. Subthalamic nucleus stimulation and levodopa had multiple influences. (1) Systolic blood pressure during tilt-up was reduced by subthalamic nucleus stimulation, and then further by levodopa. (2) Subthalamic nucleus stimulation and levodopa had different effects on sympathetic and parasympathetic regulations in Parkinson’s disease. (3) Levodopa decreased baroreflex sensitivity and RR interval only in the orthostatic hypotension group, and had opposite effects on the non-orthostatic hypotension group. These findings indicate that subthalamic nucleus stimulation and levodopa have different effects on cardiovascular autonomic function in Parkinson’s disease, which are modulated by the presence of orthostatic hypotension as well.

Abstract
Dipeptide carnosine (β-alanyl-L-histidine) is a natural antioxidant, but its protective effect under oxidative stress induced by neurotoxins is studied insufficiently. In this work, we show the neuroprotective effect of carnosine in primary cultures of rat cerebellar cells under oxidative stress induced by 1 mM 2,2'-azobis(2-amidinopropane)dihydrochloride (AAPH), which directly generates free radicals both in the medium and in the cells, and 20 nM rotenone, which increases the amount of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). In both models, adding 2 mM carnosine to the incubation medium decreased cell death calculated using fluorescence microscopy and enhanced cell viability estimated by the MTT assay. The antioxidant effect of carnosine inside cultured cells was demonstrated using the fluorescence probe dichlorofluorescein. Carnosine reduced by half the increase in the number of ROS in neurons induced by 20 nM rotenone. Using iron-induced chemiluminescence, we showed that preincubation of primary neuronal cultures with 2 mM carnosine prevents the decrease in endogenous antioxidant potential of cells induced by 1 mM AAPH and 20 nM rotenone. Using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, we showed that a 10-min incubation of neuronal cultures with 2 mM carnosine leads to a 14.5-fold increase in carnosine content in cell lysates. Thus, carnosine is able to penetrate neurons and exerts an antioxidant effect. Western blot analysis revealed the presence of the peptide transporter PEPT2 in rat cerebellar cells, which suggests the possibility of carnosine transport into the cells. At the same time, Western blot analysis showed no carnosine-induced changes in the level of apoptosis regulating proteins of the Bcl-2 family and in the phosphorylation of MAP kinases, which suggests that carnosine could have minimal or no side effects on proliferation and apoptosis control systems in normal cells.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Since levodopa was identified as an efficient therapeutic option in Parkinson disease (PD), great success has been achieved in the course and treatment of the disease. However, L‑dopa-related side effects limit the therapeutic use in some patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of L‑dopa therapy on left ventricular global systolic function via speckle tracking method. METHODS In this study, 55 patients with PD under L‑dopa/dopa decarboxylase inhibitor therapy were compared with 30 age- and sex-matched control subjects. Conventional transthoracic echocardiography was performed in the left lateral position by two experienced operators in accordance with generally accepted guidelines. Left ventricular systolic function was analyzed by speckle tracking method using global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global circumferential strain (GCS) imaging. RESULTS Adequate echocardiographic imaging for the evaluation of global longitudinal strain and global circumferential strain could be achieved in 55 of the patients. LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction), GLS and GCS values were found to be similar between the patients with PD under L‑dopa therapy and the control group (62 ± 3.5 % vs 61 ± 4 %, p < 0.05; -19.46 ± 2.3 vs -19.4 ± 3.2, p < 0.05; and -18.60 ± 3.5 vs -18.22 ± 3.2, p < 0.05 respectively.) CONCLUSION Levodopa therapy has no unfavorable effect on left ventricular systolic function in patients with PD.

Abstract
Intravenous levodopa has been used in a multitude of research studies due to its more predictable pharmacokinetics compared to the oral form, which is used frequently as a treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD). Levodopa is the precursor for dopamine, and intravenous dopamine would strongly affect vascular tone, but peripheral decarboxylase inhibitors are intended to block such effects. Pulse and blood pressure, with orthostatic changes, were recorded before and after intravenous levodopa or placebo-after oral carbidopa-in 13 adults with a chronic tic disorder and 16 tic-free adult control subjects. Levodopa caused no statistically or clinically significant changes in blood pressure or pulse. These data add to previous data that support the safety of i.v. levodopa when given with adequate peripheral inhibition of DOPA decarboxylase.

Abstract
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is frequent in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and can occur with or without symptoms. Pharmacological treatments are effective, but often exacerbate supine hypertension. Guidelines exist for the diagnosis, but not for the treatment of OH. We examined the relationship between blood pressure (BP) and symptoms in a cohort of PD patients with the goal of identifying a hemodynamic target to guide treatment. We measured BP supine and upright (tilt or active standing) and identified the presence or absence of symptomatic OH by using a validated patient-reported outcome questionnaire in 210 patients with PD. We evaluated the usefulness of the 20/10 and 30/15 mmHg diagnostic criteria (systolic/diastolic) to identify symptomatic OH. Fifty percent of the PD patient cohort met criteria for the 20/10 fall and 30% for the 30/15 BP fall. Among the patients who met either OH criteria, the percentage of those with symptoms was small (33% of those with 20/10 and 44% of those with 30/15 mmHg; 16% and 13%, respectively, overall). Symptomatic OH was associated with an upright mean BP below 75 mmHg. A mean standing BP <75 mmHg had a sensitivity of 97% and a specificity of 98% for detecting symptomatic OH. Although the prevalence of OH in PD is high, not all patients have symptoms of organ hypoperfusion. A mean standing BP below 75 mmHg appears to be a useful benchmark when deciding whether the benefits of initiating pharmacological treatment of OH outweigh the risks of exacerbating supine hypertension.

Abstract
Orthostatic hypotension (OH) is one of the commonly occurring nonmotor symptoms in patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) and atypical parkinsonism (AP). We aimed to review current evidences on epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of OH in patients with IPD and AP. Major electronic medical databases were assessed including PubMed/MEDLINE and Embase up to February 2013. English-written original or review articles with keywords such as "Parkinson's disease," "atypical parkinsonism," and "orthostatic hypotension" were searched for relevant evidences. We addressed different issues such as OH definition, epidemiologic characteristics, pathophysiology, testing and diagnosis, risk factors for symptomatic OH, OH as an early sign of IPD, prognosis, and treatment options of OH in parkinsonian syndromes. Symptomatic OH is present in up to 30% of IPD, 80% of multiple system atrophy (MSA), and 27% of other AP patients. OH may herald the onset of PD before cardinal motor symptoms and our review emphasises the importance of its timely diagnosis (even as one preclinical marker) and multifactorial treatment, starting with patient education and lifestyle approach. Advancing age, male sex, disease severity, and duration and subtype of motor symptoms are predisposing factors. OH increases the risk of falls, which affects the quality of life in PD patients.

Abstract
Electrode potential and thermodynamic parameters of the electrochemical reaction of L-DOPA in aqueous solution are obtained experimentally by cyclic voltammetry method and also calculated theoretically using accurate ab initio calculations (G3MP2//B3LYP) along with the available solvation model of CPCM. The pH dependence of the redox activity of L-DOPA in aqueous solution at temperatures in the range of 10-30 °C was used for the experimental determination of the standard reduction potential, changes of entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs free energy for the studied reaction. The experimental formal redox potential of the two-proton-two-electron reduction process was obtained to be 0.745 V versus standard hydrogen electrode (SHE). The theoretical and experimental values (0.728 and 0.745 V) for the standard electrode potential of L-DOPA are in agreement with each other. The difference between the peak potential of the L-DOPA and the products, which are produced by chemical reactions, has been measured experimentally and also calculated theoretically. There is also an agreement between experimental and theoretical potential difference. Also in this work, the changes of thermodynamic functions of solvation are calculated from the differences between the solution-phase experimental values and the gas-phase theoretical values.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cardiac uptake of [(123)I]metaiodobenzyl guanidine (MIBG) is reduced in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the cardiac sympathetic abnormality associated with this reduction is unclear. To unmask this abnormality in PD patients we examined the functional consequences of cardiac beta-receptor activation. METHODS Cardiovascular responses to stepwise administration of the beta1-receptor agonist, dobutamine (DOB), were assessed in 25 PD patients and 12 age-matched controls. Changes in blood pressure were compared to determine the optimal dose at which to detect denervation supersensitivity, and cardiac contractility was measured by DOB echocardiography, based on peak aortic flow velocity. The relations of these cardiovascular responses to the ratio of MIBG uptake into the heart vs. that into the mediastinum (H/M ratio) were analyzed. RESULTS At 4 microg/kg/min DOB, systolic blood pressure increased more in PD patients than in controls (PD, 17.5+/-12.3 mm Hg; control, 7.2+/-6.2 mm Hg, p<0.01), suggesting the presence of denervation supersensitivity. At this DOB dose cardiac contractility also increased more in PD than in controls (PD, 39.0+/-15.7%; control, 23.5+/-5.2%, p<0.005) and this hyperdynamic response was significantly correlated with reduced H/M ratios (early: r=-0.63, p<0.01, delayed: r=-0.66, p<0.01). CONCLUSION Low-dose DOB unmasks cardiac sympathetic denervation in PD patients, and decreased MIBG uptake indicates the presence of denervation supersensitivity within the heart, resulting in hyperdynamic cardiac contractility in response to a beta 1-stress condition.
