Abstract:
Dementia is a devastating disorder that commonly affects people over the age of 65. Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia are the most common forms of dementias. A number of studies have implicated cardiovascular risks as important factors in the development of dementia. These risks include high-risk behaviors such as smoking and risks related at least partially to health behaviors such as diet and exercise. This study examines a group of cardiovascular risk factors, as defined by the Framingham study, to ascertain if they are predictors of dementia. A retrospective chart review of 481cons

Abstract:
The current platform of conventional cardiovascular risk assessments tends to forsake the importance of endothelial function - a key biological mechanism by which cardiovascular risk factors exert their propensity for adverse vascular events. Moreover, the presence and severity of endothelial dysfunction in ‘low-risk’ individuals suggests considerable variability in pre-clinical risk that could potentially be detected well before the onset of disease. The aim of the present thesis was to investigate the presence and impact of retinal vascular dysfunction, as a barometer of endothelial function

Abstract:
Cerebrovascular disease, has an enormous, and increasing, impact on global health. As well as causing clinical stroke, cerebrovascular disease is thought to be a major contributor to cognitive decline and dementia. Socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with risk of stroke. Those in the lowest SES group are estimated to be at twice the risk of stroke compared to those in the highest SES group. Those with low SES may also have a more severe stroke and a poorer outcome. It is imperative that the extent and mechanism of this association is clarified. This thesis aims to determine if the associa

Abstract:
Currently, about one in every eight Americans is age 65 or older; by the year 2050, it will be one in five people. Given this “graying” of the population, research into successful aging is of increasing relevance. The question of how to precisely define successful aging, however, has not been completely answered. Likewise, the role of vascular risk factors, subclinical vascular brain damage, and other biopsychosocial characteristics in normal cognitive aging are not well understood.

Identification of modifiable risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is crucial in order to diminish suffering from this devastating disease.

The cognitive symptoms of INPH resemble the symptoms of depression, but the prevalence of depression among INPH patients is unknown.

Abstract:
Les néoplasies myéloprolifératives (NMP) sont des hémopathies myéloïdes clonales, chroniques et prolifératives. Les plus fréquentes sont la polyglobulie de Vaquez et la thrombocytémie essentielle. Elles s’accompagnent de risques importants de thrombose (artérielles et veineuses) et de transformation en pathologies plus agressives (myélofibrose secondaire et leucémie aigüe). Les thromboses peuvent être la situation diagnostique de ces maladies, ou survenir au cours de la prise en charge. Le sujet de cette thèse est d’étudier la relation clinique entre NMP et thrombose.

Abstract:
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia in clinical practice and implies a huge social, medical, and economical burden. Analyses of AF risk factors in certain groups of population would allow tailored preventative recommendations. We sought to analyse a) AF risk factors in hypertensive patients; b) the association of diabetes with AF; c) effectiveness of statin treatment initiation to prevent AF. Three retrospective cohorts were designed using the Information System for Research Development in Primary Care. Risk factors of AF were fitted into a prediction model built with var

Abstract:
A systematic review of the evidence indicated that vascular function, a critical early modifiable event in cardiovascular disease (CVD) development, can be modulated by dietary fat composition. Saturated fat (SF A) was deleterious, with limited evidence of benefit for monounsaturated (MUFA) or n-6 polyunsaturated fat (n-6 PUFA). Studies were difficult to compare, due in part to the varying methods of vascular function determination, and on analysis, it was confirmed that these methods were not interchangeable (except pulse wave velocity and stiffness index). It was hypothesised that substituti

Abstract:
Introdução: As doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) são a principal causa de morte no mundo, sendo a doença arterial coronária (DAC) a mais comum das DCV, juntamente com acidente vascular cerebral. O cálcio das artérias coronárias é um marcador da DAC subclínica (assintomática) e é preditivo de eventos coronários futuros. Vários fatores de risco cardiovascular contribuem para o desenvolvimento da calcificação da artéria coronária (CAC). Adicionalmente, os fatores dietéticos podem influenciar no processo de aterosclerose e CAC. Objetivo: Avaliar a CAC e sua associação com fatores de risco cardiovascu

Objetivou-se identificar os fatores de risco para o Acidente Vascular Cerebral em indivíduos adultos ou idosos assistidos por núcleos de saúde do município de Bauru-SP. Trata-se de um estudo observacional de investigação transversal dos fatores de risco para o acidente vascular cerebral, realizado com 536 indivíduos que nunca tiveram esse acometimento neurológico e que possuíam idade igual ou superior a 40 anos. Foi realizada entrevista individual para investigação dos fatores de risco e classificação socioeconômica. Na análise dos dados foi aplicado o teste qui-quadrado e realizada a regressã

Abstract:
L'insuffisance rénale chronique (IRC) demeure un problème de santé publique du fait de l'augmentation de sa prévalence. Malgré l'amélioration de la prise en charge, le taux de mortalité reste plus élevé comparé à la population générale. Parmi les causes de décès, les maladies cardiovasculaires, d'origine multifactorielle (élargissement et hypertrophie des artères, athérosclérose, calcifications vasculaires et valvulaires) sont au premier plan. A côté des facteurs de risque classiques, des facteurs non traditionnels, liés aux perturbations métaboliques de l'IRC, ont été mis en évidence, comme l
