Central Obesity: A Better Predictor for Coronary Artery Disease Than BMI

Compared with body mass index according to study results Menopause. 1 Postmenopausal women Central Obesity: A at a higher risk CAD given a reduction estrogen levels. In though exact type adiposity most influential to development CAD has yet been determined. explore associations between type and risk CAD women aged years, a prospective nationwide 29 participating cardiac Korea. All enrolled registry with chest pain and elective invasive coronary angiography evaluation CAD. Of women included defined as ≥50% stenosis ≥1 major epicardial coronary.

A 15-year study of nearly 5000 people has found an enlarged heart chamber is a better predictor of cardiac death than a widely used screening tool, the coronary artery calcium score. The result fuels an ongoing debate about the value of tests to gauge the risk of heart attack in people with no symptoms of heart disease. The new study ran a toothcomb over data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), a US trial of nearly 7000 people with no known heart problems that began in 2000. People aged 45-84 from coronary artery disease symptoms communities including Baltimore, Chicago and Los Angeles received questionnaires and a battery of tests, such as cholesterol and blood sugar, then were followed for up to 15 years to see who got heart failure or heart attacks or died from heart disease. The authors of the current study were particularly interested in two of the more hi-tech tests that some of the MESA participants received. Led by Nadine Kawel-Boehm, from Kantonsspital Graubuenden in Chur, Switzerland, they carved out a subset of 4988 people who had CT scans to measure their coronary artery calcium score.
