Several factors have been proposed to explain the high death rate of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, including hypertension and hypertension-related treatment with Renin Angiotensin System inhibitors. Also, age multimorbidity might be confounders. No sufficient data are available demonstrate their independent role. We designed a cross-sectional, observational, multicenter, nationwide survey in Italy verify whether renin-angiotensin system inhibitors related COVID-19 severe...
1.1. Cardiovascular disease and dyslipidemia: prevalence global economic impact Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, reaching 31% deaths in 2012 [1]. In particular, atherosclerosis ischemic heart (IHD) main causes premature death Europe responsible for 42% women 38% men under 75 years old [2]. The impact CVD is estimated to have been US $906 billion 2015 expected rise by 22% 2030 [3]. also represent major disability developed countries. It has that...
Serum uric acid (SUA) levels discriminating across the different strata of cardiovascular risk is still unknown. By utilizing a large population-based database, we assessed threshold SUA that increases total mortality and (CVM). The URRAH study (Uric Acid Right for Heart Health) multicentre retrospective, observational study, which collected data from several longitudinal studies in Italy subjects recruited hypertension clinics Italian Society Hypertension. Total was defined as any cause,...
Intraplaque release of inflammatory cytokines from macrophages is implicated in atherogenesis by inducing the proliferation and migration media smooth muscle cells (SMCs). PCSK9 present released SMCs within atherosclerotic plaque but its function still unknown. In study, we tested hypothesis that could elicit a pro-inflammatory effect on macrophages. THP-1-derived human primary were exposed to different concentrations (0.250 ÷ 2.5 µg/ml) recombinant (hPCSK9). After 24 h incubation with µg/ml...
Curcumin has shown to exert a positive impact on human glucose metabolism, even if its bioavailability is usually very low. The present study aimed explore the effect of phosphatidylserine- and piperine-containing curcumin phytosomes large number metabolic parameters related insulin resistance, in context randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial involving 80 overweight subjects with suboptimal fasting plasma glucose. Subjects were be treated indistinguishable tablets (2 per day,...
Lepidium meyenii (Maca) is a cultivated root belonging to the brassica family used in Andean region for its supposed aphrodisiac properties. We carried out double-blind clinical trial on 50 Caucasian men affected by mild erectile dysfunction (ED), randomised treatment with Maca dry extract, 2400 mg, or placebo. The effect ED and subjective well-being was tested administrating before after 12 weeks International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) Satisfaction Profile (SAT-P). After...
Serum uric acid (SUA) levels correlate with many recognized cardiovascular risk factors, including age, male sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hypertriglyceridemia, obesity, and insulin resistance. The aim of our study was to verify in a large well characterized population sample the relationship between SUA values, arterial stiffness subclinical atherosclerosis.For this study, we selected 248 men 371 women adult patients enrolled last Brisighella Heart Study survey for which full set...
