Clin Chim Acta 2023; 540:117226. [PMID: 36634905 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2023.117226] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2022] [Revised: 01/05/2023] [Accepted: 01/06/2023] [Indexed: 01/11/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The association of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] with echocardiography-estimated left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in high-risk population remains uncertain, so we assessed the association between Lp(a) with echocardiography-derived LVH in patients with new-onset acute myocardial infarction (AMI). METHODS In this large, single-center, cross-sectional observational study, we enrolled 2,096 patients with new-onset AMI. Lp(a) was used as the independent variable and LVH was used as the dependent variable. Logistic regression, subgroup and sensitivity analysis were performed to test the association of Lp(a) with LVH. RESULTS The concentration of Lp(a) was higher in LVH group compared with the non-LVH group (P < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that higher Lp(a) was strongly associated with higher risk of LVH, independently of traditional cardiovascular risk factors (Fully adjusted model, Q4 vs Q1, OR: 1.941, 95% CI: 1.343-2.803, P < 0.001). Subgroup analysis showed that the association of Lp(a) with LVH persisted in the subgroups of age (<60 and ≥60 years), sex (male and female), smoking (yes and no), diabetes (yes), hypertension (yes), hyperlipidemia (yes), and chronic kidney diseases (yes and no). Further sensitivity analysis indicated that Lp(a) remained significantly associated with LVH after further adjusting for high-sensitivity C-reactive protein or excluding patients with estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 ml/min/1.73 m2 or dividing Lp(a) into multiple dichotomous variables. CONCLUSION Lp(a) was closely associated with LVH in patients with new-onset AMI.

Abstract
Patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) usually have reduced somatosensory information and altered perception in feet and ankles. Somatosensory information acts as feedback for movement control and loss of somatosensation leads to altered plantar pressure patterns during gait and stance. Offloading devices are used to reduce peak plantar pressure and prevent diabetic foot ulcers. However, offloading devices can unfortunately have negative effects on static and dynamic balance. It is important to investigate these unwanted effects, since patient with DPN already are at high risk of falling and offloading devices could potentially increase this risk. The aim of this systematic review is to investigate the effects of plantar offloading devices used for ulcer prevention on their role in static and dynamic balance control in patients with DPN. PubMed and Embase were systematically searched using relevant search terms. After title selection, abstract selection, and full-text selection only five articles could be included for further analysis. Two articles included static balance measurements, two articles included dynamic balance measurements, and one article included both. Results suggested that static balance control is reduced when rocker bottom shoes and different insole configurations are used, however, toe-only rockers showed less evidence for reduced static balance control. There was no evidence for reduced dynamic balance control in combination with offloading devices. However, these results should be interpreted with care, since the number of studies was very small and the quality of the studies was moderate. Future research should evaluate balance in combination with different offloading devices, so that clinicians subscribing them are more aware of their potential unwanted consequences.

Int J Gen Med 2020; 13:1477-1486. [PMID: 33335419 PMCID: PMC7736706 DOI: 10.2147/ijgm.s288732] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/26/2020] [Accepted: 11/18/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose We aimed to study the Meta-analysis Global Group in Chronic Heart Failure (MAGGIC) risk model’s prognostic value and relationship with left ventricular remodeling in dilated cardiomyopathy. Patients and Methods Dilated cardiomyopathy patients were prospectively recruited and underwent clinical assessments. MAGGIC risk score was calculated. Patients were followed up for adverse events and echocardiography. Primary endpoints were all-cause mortality and first rehospitalization due to heart failure. Secondary endpoint was left ventricular remodeling defined as a decline in left ventricular ejection fraction >10% or an increase in left ventricular end-diastolic diameter >10%. Survival status was examined using Cox regression analysis. The model’s ability to discriminate adverse events and left ventricular remodeling was calculated using a receiver operating characteristics curve. Results In total, 114 patients were included (median follow-up time = 31 months). The risk score was independently related to adverse events (2-year all-cause mortality: hazard ratio [HR] = 1.122; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.043–1.208; 1-year first rehospitalization due to heart failure: HR = 1.094; 95% CI, 1.032–1.158; 2-year first rehospitalization due to heart failure: HR = 1.088; 95% CI, 1.033–1.147, all P < 0.05). One-year change in left ventricular end-diastolic diameter was correlated with the risk score (r = 0.305, P = 0.002). The model demonstrated modest ability in discriminating adverse events and left ventricular remodeling (all areas under the curve were 0.6–0.7). Conclusion The MAGGIC risk score was related to adverse events and left ventricular remodeling in dilated cardiomyopathy.

Comparison of Erythrocyte Membrane Lipid Profiles between NAFLD Patients with or without Hyperlipidemia. Int J Endocrinol 2020; 2020:9501826. [PMID: 33014047 PMCID: PMC7519187 DOI: 10.1155/2020/9501826] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2020] [Revised: 07/21/2020] [Accepted: 08/25/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and hyperlipidemia (HL) are common metabolic disorders due to overnutrition and obesity. NAFLD is often associated with hyperlipidemia. The aim of this study was to identify and compare the erythrocyte membrane lipids profile in NAFLD patients with or without HL. Methods. A total of 112 subjects (with similar age and body mass index) were divided into four groups: (1) normal controls, (2) NAFLD alone, (3) HL alone, and (4) NAFLD combined with HL (NAFLD + HL). Lipid was extracted from the erythrocyte membrane, and lipid profiles of subjects were analyzed by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Results. Data sets from 103 subjects were adopted for lipidomic analysis. Significant changes of lipid species were observed in patient groups, especially in the HL group and NAFLD + HL group. The HL group showed increased level of most lipid species, and decreased level of most lipid species was observed in the NAFLD + HL group. The weight percent of myristic acid, stearic acid, erucic acid, and docosahexaenoic acid also showed distinct variation between different groups. Conclusions. NAFLD, HL, and NAFLD + HL all had an impact on lipid profiling of the erythrocyte membrane. The influence of NAFLD alone is less important compared with HL. Some lipids should be highlighted because of their specific role in cell function and systemic metabolism.

Abstract
In the PAMELA study (Pressioni Arteriose Monitorate e Loro Associazioni), clinical variables, an echocardiogram, as well as office and ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) were simultaneously measured at baseline and after a 10-year follow-up. The study design allowed us to assess the value of masked hypertension (MH) as a predictor of new-onset left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). The present analysis included 803 participants without LVH at baseline (left ventricular mass index <115 g/m2 in men and <100 g/m2 in women). Based on office and 24-hour mean ABP values, subjects were divided into 3 groups: normal subjects (normotensive, office blood pressure [BP] <140/90 mm Hg and 24-hour mean ABP <130/80 mm Hg), MH (office BP, normal, and 24-hour mean ABP, elevated), and sustained hypertension (office and 24-hour BP, both elevated). At entry, 57 of 803 subjects fulfilled diagnostic criteria for MH (7.1%); 182 participants developed LVH (22.6%). Compared with subjects with normal in-office and out-of-office BP, the risk of new-onset LVH was greater in MH (odds ratio, 2.22; CI, 1.11-4.46, P=0.0250) after adjustment for potential confounders. This was also the case for the absolute increase of left ventricular mass index. Our study provides a new piece of evidence that MH, identified by office and ABP values, is associated with an increased risk of new-onset LVH. Moreover, our findings convey the notion that office BP may inaccurately estimate the risk of incident LVH in the general population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In our previous study, the prevalence of childhood masked hypertension was 11%. This study aims to assess the left ventricular mass index of persistent masked hypertension and determine the factors of elevated left ventricular mass index in Hong Kong Chinese adolescents from a community cohort. DESIGN Community prospective cohort study, follow-up of a case-control study in community. SUBJECTS Patients with masked hypertension at baseline were invited to recheck ambulatory blood pressure for the persistence of masked hypertension. RESULTS A total of 144 out of 165 patients with masked hypertension in the 2011/2012 ambulatory blood pressure survey consented to participate in the study. In all, 48 patients were found to have persistent masked hypertension by ambulatory blood pressure rechecking and were matched with normotensive controls by sex, age, and body height. The left ventricular mass (117.3±39.9 g versus 87.0±28.2 g versus 102.0±28.2 g) and left ventricular mass index (30.1±8.4 g/m2.7 versus 23.9±6.3 g/m2.7 versus 25.1±5.7 g/m2.7) were significantly higher in the persistent masked hypertension group (p<0.0001) compared with the patients without persistent masked hypertension and controls. In multivariate linear regression analysis, left ventricular mass index was found to be higher in male gender (β=4.874, p<0.0001) and the patients with persistent masked hypertension (β=2.796, p=0.003). In addition, left ventricular mass index was positively associated with body mass index z-score (β=3.045, p<0.0001) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration (β=1.634, p=0.015). CONCLUSIONS Persistent masked hypertension in adolescents is associated with elevated left ventricular mass index.
