▼ Cardiovascular disease remains one of the leading causes of mortality globally. Innovative techniques are required to tackle its anticipated rise due to rising obesity, diabetes and an ageing population. Personalised electronic coaching (eb coaching) using the Internet and emails may help motivate healthier living and be of clinical benefit in complementing current programmes for cardiovascular risk reduction. I investigated whether personalised ebcoaching on top of SOC was more clinically effective than SOC alone, in reducing cardiovascular risk in asymptomatic individuals with high cardiovascular risk. I lead a randomised controlled trial of 402 participants using robust surrogate markers to identify change over 6 months. I assessed the feasibility of using cardiovascular magnetic resonance surrogate markers to guide their use in future studies of lifestyle interventions. I performed systematic reviews to identify 1) similarities and differences among leading primary prevention guidelines that address cardiovascular screening and risk assessment and 2) guideline recommendations on lifestyle advice and interventions to identify how ebcoaching could be used and what advice to incorporate in ebcoaching platforms. I found modest but statistically significant improvements in both ebcoaching and SOC groups to a similar level. Personalised ebcoaching did not show additional benefit in a highbrisk primary prevention cohort. It is feasible to use cardiovascular surrogate markers derived from cardiovascular magnetic resonance in lifestyle interventions studies. However, further studies correlating change in these markers with longbterm outcomes are required. Considerable discrepancies exist in the guidelines on risk on cardiovascular screening and risk assessment, with no consensus on optimum screening strategies or classification of high risk thus affecting treatment threshold. Guidelines did highlight the importance of lifestyle interventions in primary prevention and generally provided similar advice. Ebcoaching should not be incorporated into current prevention programmes for high risk populations unless the tools are improved and effectiveness is proven.

▼ Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number one cause of death in the United States and affects persons of all races and ethnicities. The number of persons of Mexican ethnicity has increased significantly in the United States, notably in the community of Berwyn, a suburb of Chicago, IL where according to the U.S. 2010 census 60% of the community is now of Mexican descent. The factors that contribute to CVD risk in persons of Mexican decent within this community must be understood before culturally appropriate risk reduction strategies are designed and implemented. Purpose: The purpose of this community-based study is to gain a better understanding of selected social and physical health determinants and risk factors which may contribute to cardiovascular disease in people of Mexican descent in the community of Berwyn. Methods: The Healthy People 2010 model for assessing a community's health status guided this study. Multiple methods were used to characterize the prevalence of CVD risk factors among a community sample of Berwyn residents of Mexican descent. The impact of the selected social health determinants include language barriers, access to care, cultural behaviors, awareness of CVD and socioeconomic status and physical health determinants such as availability of parks and play lots, grocery stores and environmental pollution. Sources of data included: (1) community health screenings of 106 participants of Mexican descent who were assessed for blood pressure, total cholesterol, glucose, height, weight, body mass index, and age, (2) fifteen guided interviews of community key informants, (3) survey of participants in community/church-based CVD risk screenings, and (4) searches of publicly accessible internet databases related to the social and physical health determinants for this community. Data Analysis: Guided interviews were analyzed using standard qualitative procedures. STATA/MP version 1.1 was used for descriptive statistical analyses of the survey data and to determine proportions of individuals with abnormal risk values using accepted guidelines for cut-offs. The ARC geographic information system was used to plot locations of parks and stores within the community. Results: Risk prevalence data gleaned from interviews, in combination with quantitative results, revealed a triad of risk factors in this population. The most common risk factors among the 106 who participated in screenings were high body mass index (45% of the sample as overweight and additional 38% as obese), 52% with low HDL, 44% with elevated glucose, 35% with pre-hypertension; 33% with elevated total cholesterol. Reports from informants suggested that atherogenic diets and lack of physical activity among community members are common. However, key informant and individual community member interviews suggested that CVD does not rank as one of the top overall concerns for this Mexican population. Key informants also believed that lack of access to preventive health care is a common concern, with…

▼ A growing diabetes pandemic is unfolding throughout the world. Cardiovascular disease is the major cause of mortality and morbidity in diabetes with huge associated economic burden. CVD risk factor management in patients with diabetes improves mortality and morbidity. In Australia, most opportunity for addressing CVD risk occurs within the primary health care system. Contemporary CVD risk management guidelines recommend basing the need for and intensity of prevention strategies on estimation of absolute risk. The proliferation of multiple disease specific guidelines, congested workflows, and implementation into time-pressured consultations pose critical barriers to guideline uptake into clinical practice in patients with diabetes. Clinical decision support systems are effective strategies to address these barriers. However, despite Australia’s burgeoning information technology health infrastructure, few such systems exist. In The Treatment Of cardiovascular Risk in Primary care using Electronic Decision suppOrt (TORPEDO) study the investigators utilised a multifaceted electronic decision support system and quality improvement intervention (‘HealthTracker’) to improve management of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Data from TORPEDO presented in this thesis indicates that screening and treatment of cardiovascular risk factors in patients with diabetes remains suboptimal despite a number of quality incentive programs and government initiatives. As part of this thesis, the HealthTracker algorithm was expanded to include screening and management recommendations for patients with diabetes. This process was completed in 4 steps: (1) review of national and international guidelines; (2) development of an algorithm encompassing 178 guideline-based recommendations in concert with an expert advisory group; (3) validation and incorporation into an existing software platform interfacing with two of the most commonly used general practice record systems; (4) user acceptance testing with further modifications. Integrated disease management software tools such as HealthTracker hold promise to improve treatment gaps for patients with diabetes.

▼ Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy characterized by maternal systemic endothelial dysfunction. While the clinical manifestations resolve soon after delivery, a large body of epidemiological evidence indicates significant long-term maternal risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) after PE. The mechanisms by which PE and future CVD are associated are unclear, although shared constitutional risk factors likely contribute to the features of endothelial dysfunction characteristic to both. We postulate that PE offers a window of opportunity for the identification of unique markers of dysfunction in the earliest stages of disease that may be used to validate cardiovascular risk screening in the early postpartum period. The studies presented in this thesis provide evidence of changes in circulating factors in women with a recent history of PE. Using blood samples collected within the first year of pregnancy, unique patterns of microRNA expression, enrichment of coagulation system proteins and endothelial progenitor cell dysfunction were described. Many of the described changes appear to be independent of cardiovascular risk. In addition to alterations in circulating factors however, longitudinal postpartum assessments demonstrated that microvascular and cardiac abnormalities were evident in the early periods postpartum after a pre-eclamptic pregnancy. Collectively, the data presented in this thesis reveal that physiological alterations in women with a recent history of PE are not necessarily dependent on clinical parameters of cardiovascular risk, and that resulting dysfunction may be demonstrated within the first year postpartum. Importantly, the biomarkers presented herein are all demonstrated elsewhere in the literature to benefit from lifestyle modification and risk reduction. In closing, the findings of this thesis support a need for cardiovascular risk screening based on obstetrical history, namely after pregnancies complicated by PE.

▼ New Zealand???s population is ageing. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) may account for 53% of death in people aged 85+. Nevertheless, little is known about the cardiovascular health status of those in advanced age. The aim of the study is to assess cardiovascular health and examine the relationships between cardiovascular risk factors and presence of clinically manifest CVD in people of advanced age. This thesis reports a cross-sectional study of 108 participants aged 85 years (75-79 for M??ori) from three locations (urban and rural) in New Zealand. Demography, medical history, nutritional risk and physical activity levels were established by interview. Height, weight, blood pressure, body composition, ultrasound of the carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and echocardiography were completed. Fasting blood samples were collected. Two-thirds of the sample (n=72) had clinically manifest CVD. The level of physical activity measured by the PASE scale was inversely associated with CVD [OR (95% CI): 0.990 (0.982??? 0.999), p=0.028] controlling for sex, age-ethnicity, and smoking status. High-density lipoprotein level was inversely associated with CVD after adjusting for sex, ageethnicity, smoking status and waist circumference [OR (95% CI): 0.291 (0.086???0.986), p=0.047]. The study did not find an association between inflammatory markers and CVD. One-quarter of the sample has increased CIMT ( 1.206mm). Almost all of the participants (94%) had abnormal echocardiographic measures: 38% had left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy; 68% had enlarged left atrial area; and 5% had abnormal LV systolic function. The echocardiography results suggest that subclinical CVD may be prevalent among the very old. Findings from this study have to be interpreted with caution due to the cross-sectional nature of the study and the small sample size. However, this thesis forms the basis for ongoing longitudinal study and these results suggest that, in contrast to those in middle age, HDL appear to be more closely related to CVD than LDL. In this sample of those in advanced age, two-thirds have CVD. Level of physical activity and HDL concentration seems to be important risk factors associated with CVD. Larger prospective ii studies are needed to confirm these results. The clinical significance of increased CIMT and abnormalities of echocardiographic measures need to be determined in longitudinal studies. Advisors/Committee Members: Kerse, N, Doughty, R.

▼ Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, as 32.8% of deaths are due to coronary heart disease, stroke, and heart failure. Developing cardiovascular disease is heightened with the onset of risk factors such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity. Unfortunately, the current health status of adult Americans details an alarming occurrence of risk factors as 30.0% of adults have high blood pressure, 26.7% have high blood cholesterol, 10.4% have type II diabetes, and 35.7% are obese. Fortunately, engaging in regular physical activity can reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The American College of Sports Medicine and the United States Department of Health and Human Services established the Physical Activity Guidelines for Fitness to provide a recipe for the time, frequency, and intensity of exercise. The current thesis will demonstrate the beneficial effects of meeting the guidelines as well as detailing methods to complete the standards. For the first study of the thesis, I implemented the Physical Activity Guidelines for Fitness into a 30-week multi-modal intervention to evaluate how a multi-modal program influences cardiovascular disease risk factors. I hypothesized that the group fitness program would produce beneficial effects on cardiovascular disease risk factors by decreasing body weight, fat body mass, total cholesterol concentration, triglycerides concentration, blood pressure, and also by increasing lean body mass and HDL-C concentration. In the second study, I investigated heart rate intensity in order to determine whether moderate- or vigorous-intensity activity has a greater effect on the reduction of body mass. I hypothesized that there would be a greater reduction in body mass when a higher percentage of time during the workout is spent in vigorous-intensity. For the third and final study, I evaluated how to incorporate moderate- and vigorous-intensity hill intervals into treadmill walking workouts in order to maximize metabolic cost. I hypothesized that continuous hill intervals and random hill intervals would result in the same metabolic cost in a 20-minute treadmill workout. This thesis will provide evidence about strategies to both meet the Physical Activity Guidelines for Fitness and reduce cardiovascular disease risk factors.

▼ Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in Canada. Despite improvements in cardiovascular risk factor identification and management over the past couple decades, many patients are still not reaching their guideline-recommended blood pressure, cholesterol, or blood glucose targets. Although numerous studies have demonstrated benefits to incorporating pharmacists onto primary care teams to facilitate cardiovascular risk reduction, such initiatives are not currently being implemented on a widespread basis in Canada. Part of the reason for this may be that most studies have been conducted in specialized, tertiary care clinics, while the majority of Canadians receive care from family physicians. CCARP II was a prospective, before and after clinical initiative implemented to help bridge this gap between clinical research and current clinical practice. The purpose of CCARP II was to implement and evaluate a pharmacist-led collaboration to identify and manage cardiovascular risk factors in a real-world family medicine setting. The pharmacist screened 566 patients for uncontrolled cardiovascular risk factors over the 9-month study period. Of all patients screened, 186 (32.9%) were at moderate or high cardiovascular risk with one or more risk factors above target. Of those, 113 patients (60.8%) were referred back to the pharmacist by their physician for ongoing monitoring and follow-up. In this group of patients, statistically significant reductions in systolic blood pressure, LDL cholesterol, and the total cholesterol: HDL ratio were observed over the study period. In patients started on new medications over the study period, a high rate of persistence (87.8%) was observed. CCARP II demonstrated that there is still a need for systematic screening for unidentified or uncontrolled cardiovascular risk factors in adult patients visiting their physicians; almost one-third of patients in our study had one or more uncontrolled risk factors identified. This initial pilot project was successful in identifying patients with above-target cardiovascular risk factors, and subsequently aiding in the reduction of these risk factors towards target levels.

▼ Background In 2003 the New Zealand Guidelines on the screening and management of patients for cardiovascular risk were published, with a revised handbook for primary healthcare staff updated in 2009. Several studies however have identified a significant gap between the guideline recommendations and current practice. This study was initiated to investigate the possible reasons for the evidence-practice gap. Aim and objectives The aim of this research study was to explore how primary health care teams manage those at high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and what changes could be made that would enhance management. The study objectives were: • To explore how those found to be at high risk of a cardiovascular event are managed in primary care; • To determine what facilitates and hinders CVD risk management at practice level in the current primary health care environment in New Zealand; • To establish what strategies and support providers would like to enhance the current management of those at high risk. Methods A qualitative approach was utilised for this study using focus groups for the collection of relevant information and opinions. Following the review of the literature an interview schedule was developed to guide the focus group discourse. The selection of the focus groups was guided by a sampling frame which ensured that they were drawn from a variety of settings. Focus groups were digitally recorded and the recordings transcribed. The Chronic Care Model (CCM) was used as a framework to guide consideration of the literature review findings as well as the process of analysing the text data. The text data was analysed using a general inductive approach which resulted in the emergence of key themes. Findings There was a high level of conformity between the findings from the focus group and the literature review but some additional issues did emerge. The self management domain and the delivery system domain of the CCM dominated both the findings from the literature and the themes from the focus groups. The decision support domain appears to have a moderate impact on optimal management of cardiovascular risk, both in the literature and from the focus group findings. Participants in the focus groups identified more barriers to optimal management of those at high cardiovascular risk related to the health system organisation domain, than emerged from the literature. Surprisingly they identified no barriers or facilitators to the use of community resources to assist them in supporting individuals with lifestyle behaviour changes. Conclusion This study, elicited new perspectives from New Zealand primary healthcare staff, relevant to issues surrounding the management of patients at high cardiovascular risk. The research has elucidated drivers of sub-optimal management and highlighted solutions available to address the issues within the current New Zealand primary health care environment.

▼ Binge drinking is a widespread health problem among young adults. Although Korean college students exhibit a high prevalence of binge drinking, they are not fully aware of the risks of such drinking behavior. Moreover, compared to other populations, they may be more vulnerable to adverse effects of binge drinking on cardiovascular (CV) health due to genetic and cultural factors. However, adverse effects of binge drinking on CV health among Korean college students have scarcely been explored. The purpose of the study was to investigate cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk associated with binge drinking among Korean college students by comparing CVD risk factors (body mass index [BMI] and blood pressure [BP]) and early CVD risk markers (C-reactive protein [hs-CRP], fibrinogen, and triglycerides [TG]) between a binge drinker group and an abstainer group. The study used a non- experimental, comparative, cross-sectional, and quantitative design and a convenience sample of 82 Korean college students aged 18 to 30 years recruited from a university in South Korea. Results of the study indicated that binge drinking may be associated with subclinical CVD and premature risk of CVD. Korean college student binge drinkers had higher TG levels (80 ± 29 mg/dL, z=2.331; p=.020) than abstainers (64 ± 25 mg/dL), and average number of drinks on one occasion was correlated with higher BMI, TG, and 10-year Framingham Risk Score rs=.331, p=.023; rs=.314, p=.030; rs=.301, p=.040, respectively). Therefore, Korean college students should be made aware that repeated binge drinking may increase their risk of developing CVD later in life. Also, Korean healthcare providers should disseminate information about the potential adverse health effects of binge drinking as well as lifestyle strategies for preserving CV health.

▼ Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death worldwide and the atherosclerotic process that precedes CVD starts during childhood. Physical activity (PA), cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and exercise are well known as preventive strategies for CVD. One possible mechanism for such prevention is the role of PA, CRF and exercise on the arterial and autonomic systems. The aim of this thesis was to investigate using observational and experimental studies the role of PA, CRF and exercise on the autonomic and arterial systems of healthy adolescents. Chapter 4 systematically reviewed observational cross-sectional studies and provided level one evidence for a significant and positive association between resting parasympathetic function and moderate-to-vigorous PA in youth. Chapter 4 also indicated that gaps exist in the literature such as the associations between PA intensities, CRF and heart rate variability (HRV). These findings were furthered in Chapter 5 which showed that vigorous PA (VPA) and moderate PA (MPA) were positively related with HRV at rest and cardiac autonomic recovery following exercise in adolescents. In Chapter 6 a high-fat meal was used aiming to increase CVD risk in the postprandial state, and it was demonstrated that PA levels and CRF are not significantly associated with postprandial HRV and arterial stiffness in adolescents. Aiming to investigate possible associations between the vascular and autonomic system, measures of baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) were introduced. Chapter 7 showed that BRS and its autonomic and vascular components present a between-day coefficient of variation lower than 20% whilst within day coefficient of variations were lower than 34% in adolescents. In Chapter 8 acutely following high- and moderate-intensity interval exercise a decrease in blood pressure was observed concomitantly with decreases in BRS. This was mainly mediated by decreases in the autonomic modulation, and the duration of the decreases in blood pressure was higher following high-intensity interval exercise. Chapter 9 extended these findings by demonstrating that the changes in BRS following the ingestion of glucose was not altered by the high or moderate-intensity exercise performed before glucose ingestion. Chapter 10 showed that following four weeks of high-intensity exercise interval training no improvements were observed in BRS and its autonomic and vascular components at rest or acutely following exercise. Collectively, the present thesis contributes significantly to the literature by providing novel evidence in healthy adolescents on the role of PA intensities, CRF and exercise on the arterial and autonomic systems at rest, acutely following exercise and in the postprandial state. The results gathered in this thesis indicate potential of the autonomic and vascular function as targets of CVD risk reduction in youth.

▼ Hypertension is the most important cardiovascular risk factor worldwide, contributing to half the burden of coronary heart disease (Whitworth, 2003). Recent epidemiological studies have concluded that age-standardized prevalence rates are significantly increasing, despite concurrent improvements in raising cardiovascular disease awareness, prevention and control (Cutler et al., 2008). Several psychological and behavioral factors have been related to increased cardiovascular risk and traditional biobehavioral treatments have shown success in helping patients achieve blood pressure control. However, they are often insufficient in managing the burden of HTN and are often time intensive and costly. For this reason, it has been argued that developing treatments targeting common psychopathogens contributing to cardiovascular risk across multiple pathways may provide one venue for improving clinical outcomes, while keeping treatments brief and cost effective. As a pilot investigation, 64 eligible patients diagnosed with HTN were recruited and randomized to receive ACT-enhanced disease education or disease education with Supportive Instruction. Eligible participants were scheduled for an intake assessment where they provided written informed consent, completed baseline assessments measuring psycho-social, behavioral, and physiological variables of cardiovascular risk, and participated in a thirty-minute didactic disease education training. Individuals were then randomized to either receive four, weekly individual sessions of ACT or supportive instruction. Results revealed that the impact of an ACT intervention combined with disease education demonstrated some additive benefits as compared to disease education with continued supportive instruction. In particular, participants allocated to receive ACT combined with disease education demonstrated greater reductions in negative affectivity and general psychological distress, and greater improvements in quality of life, physical activity, and motivation, while demonstrating equivocal findings to disease education alone with respect to reductions in other behavioral and physiological measures of cardiovascular risk. Statistical evaluation of purported processes of change was also examined. Outcomes suggest that although many of the process variables were related to cardiovascular risk factors at baseline, they failed to independently mediate treatment responses, likely due to the methodological challenges noted with BP administration and measurement and the small sample size retained through follow-up. Given the limitations of this study, continued efforts to elucidate mechanisms of change are warranted. Advisors/Committee Members: Hayes, Steven C.

▼ Bereaved adults experience heightened cardiovascular risk during a time when they must cope with the profound stress of their loss. Religion and spirituality represent coping resources during bereavement and may mitigate the emotional and physiological toll of the death of a close loved one. Evidence suggests that religion contributes to emotion regulation, and that emotional dysregulation is a psychological determinant of cardiovascular risk in bereavement. The present research examined the associations between religious outlooks (Existential Quest, Religious and Spiritual Struggle) on one hand, and cardiovascular biomarkers on the other, among adults within the first year of bereavement (N = 75, Age M = 64.58, SD = 18.41) exposed to a grief-related emotion elicitation protocol. Participants completed a set of initial questionnaires prior to completing a 14-day daily diary, and then returned for collection of cardiovascular data including ECG during an emotion elicitation protocol. Existential Quest, an index of flexible existential and religious worldviews, was expected to correspond with more flexible styles of emotion regulation, contributing to biomarkers indicative of cardiovascular resilience. Religious and Spiritual Struggle, an index of religious distress, was expected to be associated with constrained and less flexible emotion regulation, and with cardiovascular biomarkers indicative of greater cardiovascular risk. Study analyses tested the mediating role of flexible emotion regulation—operationalized by an index derived from 14-day daily diary responses—in the relationship between religious/spiritual outlooks and cardiovascular biomarkers. Cardiovascular biomarkers included systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate variability. In mediation analyses two groups of models were tested: one tested the mediating role of emotion regulation flexibility in the association between Existential Quest and cardiovascular biomarkers. The other tested the mediating role of emotion regulation flexibility in the association between Religious and Spiritual Struggle and cardiovascular biomarkers. Existential Quest was negatively associated with flexible emotion regulation (B = -.23, SE = .10, p = .02), but Religious and Spiritual Struggle was not (B = -.28, SE = .16, p = .08). Flexible emotion regulation was unassociated with cardiovascular biomarkers in any of the models. Only Religious and Spiritual Struggle exhibited a negative direct effect on systolic (but not diastolic) blood pressure (B = .29, SE = .11, p = .007). Exploratory analyses found that Existential Quest and Religious and Spiritual Struggle both predicted poorer outcomes on loneliness and grief severity. Religious and Spiritual Struggle predicted greater self-reported difficulties in emotion regulation, and Existential Quest predicted higher depression. These results suggest that Existential Quest orientation may be indicative of greater difficulties after bereavement, and lend further support for the importance of religious and meaning-making… Advisors/Committee Members: Sullivan, Daniel (advisor), O'Connor, Mary-Frances (committeemember), Ruiz, John M.

▼ Background: Antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and venlafaxine have the potential to exert beneficial effects on the heart via serotonin mediated antiplatelet activity. However, previous evidence regarding the cardiovascular effects of these agents has been conflicting. There is a need for further investigation into the risks and benefits of these drugs. Objective: To assess the risk of acute MI and cardiac death associated the use of various classes of antidepressants, and determine whether this risk is modified by the presence of predisposing factors. Methods: We identified a population-based, retrospective cohort study of 71,253 elderly persons initiating treatment with an antidepressant between 1997 and 2004. The cohort was analyzed using nested case-control approach with each case of acute MI or cardiac death matched with up to 20 controls according to age (±1 year), duration of follow-up, and year of cohort entry. Rate ratios for acute MI and cardiac death associated with the current use of various antidepressants were estimated using conditional logistic regression and adjusted for potential confounders. Results: Compared with the current use of atypical antidepressants, current use of venlafaxine was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of MI and cardiac death (rate ratio [RR] 0.80 [95% CI 0.66 to 0.97]) that was more pronounced in persons with established cardiovascular disease (CVD) (RR 0.65 [CI 0.50 to 0.86]). We found no clear evidence of a benefit or harm associated with the use of SSRIs (RR 0.92 [CI 0.79 to 1.06]), although there was the suggestion of a clinically important benefit from treatment with SSRIs for individuals who had history of MI (RR 0.68 [CI 0.44 to 1.07]). No benefit or harm was observed with other classes of antidepressants. Conclusions: These results demonstrate a reduced risk for acute MI and cardiac death associated with current use of venlafaxine among elderly persons. This beneficial effect appears to be more pronounced in those with established cardiovascular disease. No clear evidence of benefit on CV outcomes was associated with the current use of SSRIs, although results suggest a potential benefit for use in persons with a previous MI.

▼ Background: Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of premature mortality in renal transplant recipients. Predicting the risk of future cardiovascular events in this patient cohort is challenging due to the prevalence of non-traditional risk factors. Biomarkers of cardiovascular disease have been demonstrated to improve the accuracy of cardiovascular prediction models in the general population, but their potential utility in renal transplant recipients is unclear. Aims and Objectives: This thesis aims to assess whether established biomarkers of cardiovascular disease are predictive of adverse outcomes in stable renal transplant recipients. Patients and Methods: A cohort of 379 renal transplant recipients were studied. Prospective follow-up data (median of 16.2 years) were available for adverse outcomes including mortality, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and graft loss. C-reactive protein (CRP), troponin T (TnT), N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and soluble ST2 (sST2) were measured from stored plasma/serum samples and investigated for an association with these outcomes. Discrimination metrics were derived to quantify the incremental value of adding biomarker concentrations to existing cardiovascular risk prediction models. Results: Cardiovascular disease was the leading cause of mortality in the cohort and accounted for 47% of deaths. Malignancy (28%) and infection (22%) were also common causes of mortality. All of the biomarkers associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, though the strength of association varied considerably. CRP, TnT and NT-proBNP were also associated with MACE. Overall, TnT and NT-proBNP moderately improved the accuracy of risk prediction models. Several biomarkers were associated with secondary outcomes including death-censored graft loss and infection-related mortality, highlighting a potential role for these biomarkers outside of cardiovascular risk prediction. Conclusions: Data from these studies suggest that established biomarkers of cardiovascular disease may have a role in predicting adverse outcomes in renal transplant recipients, including several which are unrelated to cardiovascular disease.

▼ Cardiovascular disease and falls are common causes of morbidity and mortality in older people and the prevalence of both increases with age. Arterial stiffness is a predictor of adverse cardiovascular events and considered a marker of “vascular ageing”. The concept of vascular ageing has not been explored in relation to falls. A review of the literature on theepidemiology of falls including cardiovascular factors in falls and measurement of cardiovascular integrity was undertaken. This work set out to explore the possible relationships between cardiovascular factors and falls in older people living in the community.The aims of the study were to establish correlations between different cardiovascular measurements, cognition, cerebral structural changes and falls in older people. The participants in the study came from a longitudinal study (Memory and Ageing Study) which includes clinical and neuropsychological assessment, blood tests and cerebral magneticresonance imaging (MRI) measures as part of its test battery. Participants were then invited for postural stability and cardiovascular assessment. A number of validated methods for measuring postural stability (falls risk and balance) and cardiovascular integrity were administered. Five hundred and thirty one participants, aged between 73 to 92 years, were assessed at baseline and then followed prospectively for falls over a 12 month period.Significant findings of the study include:1. Arterial stiffness was found to correlate with postural stability.2. In men, arterial stiffness was found to correlate with the following cognitive domains: processing speed, attention and executive function.3. Arterial stiffness was higher among fallers.4. Use of cardiovascular medications was not associated with falls, with the exception that fallers were taking fewer medications affecting the renin-angiotensin system.The study findings provide links between vascular ageing and falls by uncovering associations between arterial stiffness, postural stability, neuropsychological performance and falls. Clinically, they support the increasing trend to treat cardiovascular disease and hypertension in older people. Cardiovascular medication use in the older people appears notto increase the risk of falls and the use of medications affecting the renin-angiotensin system may decrease falls risk.

Trabalho de Projeto apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Terapêutica da Fala, área de especialização em Linguagem no Adulto

Introdução: O acidente vascular cerebral (AVC) constitui um dos principais problemas de saúde pública, de morbimortalidade e de incapacidade prolongada. As alterações decorrentes do AVC incluem os défices motores, os défices cognitivos e as perturbações da linguagem adquirida, tal como a afasia. Foi seleccionada a afasia, uma vez que é a sequela comunicacional mais comum decorrente do AVC. Assim, o tema do presente trabalho é a influência dos principais factores de risco cardiovascular nos acidentes vasculares cerebrais (AVC`s) e consequente perturbação da linguagem adquirida: afasia no adulto, que teve como objectivos caracterizar os principais factores de risco cardiovascular associados ao AVC; caracterizar a afasia associada ao AVC; identificar os principais critérios de referenciação para a terapia da fala; e identificar a percepção do utente sobre o estado comunicacional pós-AVC. Participantes e Métodos: O estudo é transversal e os instrumentos de recolha de dados utilizados foram: o questionário; a Bateria de Avaliação de Afasia de Lisboa (BAAL); e o Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). A amostra deste estudo foi constituída por 60 utentes de uma instituição de saúde, seleccionada por conveniência. O grupo A foi constituído por 20 indivíduos que não sofreram um AVC, não apresentam afasia, e não apresentaram critérios de referenciação para a terapia da fala; o grupo B foi formado por 20 indivíduos que sofreram um AVC, manifestam afasia, com critérios de referenciação para terapia da fala; e o grupo C, composto por 20 indivíduos que sofreram um AVC, manifestam afasia e não tinham critérios de referenciação para terapia da fala. Recorreu-se a uma análise univariada e multivariada, bem como a frequências relativas, para determinar os objectivos em estudo. Resultados: O presente estudo sugeriu que a probabilidade de um indivíduo sofrer um AVC aumenta com a idade (> a 65 anos; OR:14,0; IC 95%: 1,554 - 126,163; p= 0,019) e com a hipertensão arterial (HTA), (OR: 22,29; IC 95%: 2,379 – 208, 789; p= 0,007). Verificou-se que os tipos de afasia decorrentes do AVC mais frequentes foram: a afasia global (26,7%); a afasia anómica (25%); e a afasia transcortical motora (6,7%). Os critérios de referenciação para a terapia da fala mais frequentes foram a idade (15%); o tipo de défices da linguagem e de fala (6,7%) e o nível de consciência (5,0%). E por último 35% dos participantes consideram as suas dificuldades comunicacionais severas e 15% dos mesmos afirmam que as dificuldades comunicacionais são moderadas. Conclusões: Globalmente estes resultados sugerem que os factores de risco na base do AVC estão bem identificados e os benefícios alcançados com as estratégias de prevenção quer primária como secundária são claros. A qualidade de vida dos participantes com afasia é prejudicada, não só pelo comprometimento do estado de saúde geral,…

▼ Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in New Zealand and worldwide. Consequently, there is great interest in measures that could contribute to the prevention of CVD. Diet is a key modifiable risk of CVD and is associated with several other CVD risk factors. Flavonoids are an abundant polyphenol found in plants and plant based foods, and consumption of these foods has been shown to play a role in decreasing mortality from CVD, and positively influencing CVD risk markers such as blood lipids and blood pressure. Objective: To examine the association between total flavonoid and anthocyanin intakes and 5-year CVD risk in the New Zealand men and woman, using ANS participants to represent the New Zealand adult population. Design: Data from 3132 of the 4721 people in the 2008/09 New Zealand Adult Nutrition Survey (NZANS) were used in the current cross-sectional study. Intakes of total flavonoids and their subclasses (flavones, flavanones, flavonols, anthocyanins, flavan-3-ols and isoflavones) were calculated from 24-hour diet recall data from the NZANS, and by using an updated and extended US Department of Agriculture (USDA) database for flavonoids and the Phenol-Explorer database for instances when the USDA lacked values. NZANS participants were divided into tertiles of CVD risk categories (mild, moderate to high and very high) according to the New Zealand 5-year CVD risk score charts. Results: The main food source of total flavonoids in the New Zealand adult population was “Sugar and Sweets”, and the overall mean intake of total flavonoids (SE) was 471.07mg (±15.6). The main food source of anthocyanins was the food group “non-alcoholic beverages” with a mean intake of 20.81mg (±1.8). After adjusting for age, sex, BMI, NZ deprivation score and ethnic group, the odds of being in the highest CVD risk category were significantly lower in those who were in the highest tertile for anthocyanin intake when compared to lowest tertile of anthocyanin intake (OR=0.62, CI 0.41-0.95). Odds of being in the medium-high risk level (category 2) of CVD were also significantly decreased with a high intake of anthocyanins (OR=0.62, CI 0.42-0.91) compared to those who had the lowest intake of anthocyanins. For total flavonoid intake, after adjustments for age, sex, BMI, NZ deprivation score and ethnicity, being in the highest tertile of flavonoid intake was significantly associated with a decrease in the odds of being in the highest risk category for CVD (OR=0.52, CI 0.29-0.91). Conclusions: These data suggest that flavonoids, anthocyanins in particular, may play a major role in the prevention of CVD in New Zealand. Consuming a balanced diet that meets the recommendations for servings of fruit and vegetables per day, particularly berries, could increase flavonoid and anthocyanin intake and contribute to a reduction in CVD.

▼ The metabolic syndrome (MetS) involves a group of risk factors and is associated with a significantly higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and type 2 diabetes. Recent studies have shown the importance of preventing CVD through early diagnosis and treatment of patients with MetS. The objective of our study was to determine the prevalence of MetS by different diagnostic criteria in postmenopausal women and analyze the influence of socioeconomic factors on cardiovascular risk in this sample of the population. A cross-sectional study involving 127 postmenopausal women (45 to 64 years) from Natal and Mossoró, Brazil. The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. The experimental protocol consisted of applying structured interview, clinical examination and implementation of dosages blood. The diagnosis of MetS was based on NCEP-ATP III (National Cholesterol Education Program-Adult Treatment Panel III) and IDF (International Diabetes Federation) criteria. The research was accomplished with the participation of an interdisciplinary team in their several phases. The result of the sample studied had mean age of 53.9 ± 4.6 years and per capita income of 54.5 dollars. The prevalence of MetS, according to NCEP-ATP III and IDF criteria, was 52.8% and 61.4$, respectively. The agreement rate between NCEP-ATP III and IDF criteria was 81.9%, with a kappa value of 0.63 (CI 95%, 0.49-0.76), indicating good agreement between the two definitions. The most prevalent cardiovascular risk factor was HDL < 50 mg/dl, observed in 96.1% of the women analyzed, followed by increased waist circumference (≥ 80 cm) in 78.0%, elevated blood pressure in 51.2%, triglycerides ≥ 150 mg/dl in 40.9% and glycemia ≥ 100 mg/dl in 37.0% of the women. The occurrence of MetS was significantly associated with schooling and body mass index (BMI). High blood pressure was significantly associated with low family income, low schooling and weight gain. There was no significant association between the intensity of climacteric symptomatology and the occurrence of MetS. The conclusions of the research were that MetS and its individual components show a high prevalence in postmenopausal Brazilian women, and significant associations with weight gain and low socioeconomic indicators. The data point to the need for an interdisciplinary approach at the basic health care level, directed toward the early identification of risk factors and the promotion of cardiovascular health of climacteric women.

It evaluates cardiovascular risk (CVR) in metabolic syndrome. There is no agreement about the best score to estimate the CVR in this population. The objective is to assess the coronary heart disease (CHD) risk in non-diabetic patients with MS using three different scores. Thirty nine subjects with MS were evaluated by the Framingham Risk Score (FRS), FRS modified by IV Diretriz Brasileira sobre Dislipidemias e Aterosclerose (mod-FRS) and by Prospective Cardiovascular Münster Study (PROCAM). All the subjects were submitted to clinical evaluation, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, ambulatorial blood pressure monitorization, ankle brachial index (ABI) and dosages of glucose, creatinine, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and microalbuminúria. LDL-cholesterol was estimated by Friedwalds formula. Mean age was 44+-21.0 years and most of individuals were female (31/39). Six subjects (15,4%) were smokers and 21 (53,8%) were hypertensive. Low HDL-cholesterol was detected in 35 (89,7%) individuals and high triglycerides, total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels were observed in 28 (71,8%), 19 (48,7%) e 15 (38,5%) individuals, respectively. Microalbuminuria was diagnosed in 23 (59%) subjects, left ventricular hypertrophy in three (7,7%) and peripheral vascular disease in five (12,8%). Based in the FRS the CHD risk in 10 years was considered low in 35 (89,7%) individuals and intermediate in four (10,3%), with no patient in high risk group. On the other hand, the mod-FRS detected five (12,8%) subjects in low risk, 30 (76,9%) in the intermediate and four (10,3%) individuals in the high risk group. According to PROCAM 29 (74,4%) individuals were in low risk, seven (17,9%) in the intermediate and three (7,7%) in high risk group. In non-diabetic subjects with MS the FRS underestimates the CHD risk, whereas the mod-FRS and alternatively, the PROCAM seem to be more accurate in estimating this risk

Avalia risco cardiovascular na síndrome metabólica. Não existe consenso sobre o escore mais apropriado para detecção do RCV nesta população. O objetivo é avaliar o risco de doença arterial coronariana (DAC) em indivíduos não diabéticos portadores de SM, com base em três diferentes escores. Foram avaliados trinta e nove indivíduos portadores de SM, por meio do Escore de Risco de Framingham (ERF), pelo ERF modificado pela IV Diretriz Brasileira sobre Dislipidemias e Aterosclerose (ERF-mod) e pelo Prospective Cardiovascular Münster Study (PROCAM). Todos os indivíduos foram submetidos a avaliação clínica, eletrocardiograma de repouso, ecocardiograma, monitorização ambulatorial da pressão arterial, índice tibial-braquial (ITB) além de dosagens de glicose, creatinina, colesterol total, colesterol HDL, triglicérides e microalbuminúria. O LDL colesterol foi estimado pela fórmula de Friedwald. A média de idade foi de 44+ -21,0 anos, com predomínio de mulheres (31/39). Seis (15,4%) indivíduos eram tabagistas e 21 (53,8%) eram hipertensos. O perfil lipídico mostrou níveis baixos de colesterol HDL em 35 (89,7%) dos casos e níveis…
