The prevention of subsequent cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an essential part cancer survivorship care. We conducted the present study to investigate association between TyG index (a surrogate marker insulin resistance) and risk events in survivors.Adult patients, who underwent routine health examinations during 2009-2010 were survived for more than 5 years as January 1, 2011, followed hospitalization CVD (either ischemic heart disease, stroke, or failure) until December 2020. Cox model was...
Introduction: Proper lipid management is vital for secondary prevention of ischemic stroke; however, not a few patients fail to reach target low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) levels with statin monotherapy. This study aimed provide real-world data on LDL-C achievement using rosuvastatin plus ezetimibe combination therapy (R+E) in stroke who did achieve an level <70 mg/dL statins alone. Methods: multicenter, prospective, observational enrolled adult baseline ≥70 monotherapy from...
Objectives: Older Korean immigrants encounter psychological challenges related to many barriers causedby increased levels of disorders. This study examined the relationship between participatingin leisure-time physical activities (LTPA) on life satisfaction, happiness, and health perception older Koreanimmigrants. Methods: Data was collected using a cross-sectional design convenience samplingstrategy. Fifty-one adults aged 50 85 years were recruited through Koreancommunity centers....
Objective We aimed to identify the following in all age groups among individuals without known hypertension and CVD: (1) Whether a systolic blood pressure (SBP) of 130–139 mm Hg elevates cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. (2) SBP shows linear association with cause-specific CVD Methods used Korean National Health Insurance sample data (n=429 220). Participants were categorised into three by (40–59 years, 60–69 years 70–80 years). Results During 10.4 follow-up, 4319 deaths occurred. A...
Limited information is available on detailed sex/age-specific associations between low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality 'the optimal range' associated with the lowest CVD in general population.
Abstract BACKGROUND The use of antiplatelet medications to prevent thrombosis in the treatment cerebral aneurysms with stents has become widely emphasized. OBJECTIVE To compare low-dose prasugrel clopidogrel stent-assisted coil embolization intracranial aneurysms. METHODS This is a retrospective review 311 from 297 patients who underwent endovascular unruptured aneurysm between November 2014 and March 2017. Thromboembolic hemorrhagic adverse events were compared 207 received (PSG group) 90...
Background Stroke in cancer patients is not rare but a devastating event with high mortality. However, the predictors of mortality stroke have been well addressed. D-dimer could be useful predictor because it can reflect both thromboembolic events and advanced stages cancer. Aim In this study, we evaluate possibility as 30-day active Methods We included 210 ischemic The data were collected by reviewing medical records. also follow-up levels 106 (50%) participants to effects treatment...
Ischemic stroke patients with active cancer are known to have poor clinical outcomes. However, the efficacy and safety of intravenous alteplase (IV t-PA) in this group still unclear. In study, we aimed evaluate whether had outcomes after use IV t-PA. We reviewed ischemic treated isolated t-PA between April 2010 March 2015 at three national university hospitals from registry for Korea. The early neurological deterioration (END), hemorrhagic transformation, in-hospital mortality, 3-month...
Abstract Background Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming a global health problem. Bisphenol A (BPA), one of most widely used environmental chemicals, suspected to be contributor the development NAFLD. This study was performed examine relationship between human BPA levels and risk Methods The data ( n = 3476 adults: 1474 men 2002 women) in this were obtained from Korean National Environmental Health Survey III (2015-2017). measured urine samples. NAFLD defined using hepatic...
Abstract Aims Cardiovascular health is acknowledged as a crucial concern among cancer survivors. Socioeconomic status (SES) an essential but often neglected risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). We conducted this study to identify the relationship between SES and CVD mortality in Methods results Using National Health Insurance Service-National Examinee database, we identified survivors diagnosed surviving beyond 5 years post-diagnosis. was assessed based on insurance premiums...
Background and Purpose— Wake-up stroke (WUS) represents a quarter of all ischemic strokes may be specific subgroup. Nocturnal desaturation secondary to sleep-disordered breathing is an independent risk factor for stroke, but the association between nocturnal WUS remains unclear. We investigated relationship using oxygen index in patients with acute unit. Methods— A total 298 admitted unit July 2013 May 2015 were enrolled. The was calculated pulse oximetry data sampled every 1 minute during 9...
(1) Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is associated with various cardiometabolic diseases. However, the association between NAFLD and stroke not well known. The purpose of our study to reveal relationship Stroke incidence. (2) Methods: Using data from a Korean prospective cohort study, we excluded participants heavy alcohol consumption history stroke; hence, 7964 adults aged 40–69 years were included in this study. According their index (FLI), divided into three groups:...
Cystatin C has been suggested as a sensitive marker of renal function. A high level cystatin is related to cardiovascular disease and stroke in elderly patients. We investigated the relationship between levels early neurological deterioration with acute ischaemic patients without chronic kidney disease.We evaluated total 771 (mean age, 72.2; male, 59.0%) who were admitted following March 2010 January 2015. The divided into four groups based on quartiles serum values. Early was defined an...
Physical inactivity is an important but often neglected risk factor for various cardiovascular diseases. We hypothesized that physical might have deleterious effects on metabolic health in obese and non-obese subjects.We evaluated the effect of activity cardiometabolic profiles a nationwide cohort individuals who did not overt A total 3,830 study subjects were divided into two groups based their body mass index (BMI). Within each BMI group, participants according to level. To ascertain...
Background To investigate the dose-response association between physical activity and lower respiratory tract infection (LoRI) outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease. Methods Results Using Korean National Health Insurance data, we identified individuals aged 18 to 99 years (mean age, 62.6±11.3 years; women, 49.6%) disease who participated health screening from January 1, 2009, December 31, 2012 (n=1 048 502), were followed up until 2018 for mortality 2019 hospitalization. Amount of...

Previous studies reported that hypertrophied superior articular process (SAP) was associated with an increased risk of lumbar foraminal stenosis. However, no study investigated the effect SAP hypertrophy in central canal spinal stenosis (LCCSS). We hypothesized cross-sectional area (SAPCSA) is main morphologic feature diagnosis LCCSS.Data regarding SAPCSA were collected from 109 patients LCCSS. All enrolled after LCCSS confirmed by experienced, board-certified neuroradiologist. had clinical...
