No association of depression and anxiety with the metabolic syndrome: the Norwegian HUNT study.

20 Dec 2009 OBJECTIVE: To examine the associations of depression and anxiety with the metabolic syndrome. METHOD: Cross-sectional study of 9571 participants aged 20-89 years in the Nord-Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT 2). We assessed anxiety and depression with ... Read more...

Cardiovascular and noncardiovascular mortality among patients starting dialysis.

26 Oct 2009 CONTEXT: Cardiovascular mortality is considered the main cause of death in patients receiving dialysis and is 10 to 20 times higher in such patients than in the general population. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate if high overall mortality in patients ... Read more...

High central pulse pressure is independently associated with adverse cardiovascular outcome the strong heart study.

25 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to facilitate clinical use of central pulse pressure (PP). We sought to determine a value that might predict adverse outcome and thereby provide a target for assessment of intervention strategies. BACKGROUND: We ... Read more...
