Genetic Evidence for the Causal Association of Circulating Cytokines and Growth Factors With Coronary Artery Disease

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundObservational studies have suggested the potential role of inflammatory factors in the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). The weighted median, simple median, maximum likelihood, MR pleiotropy residual sum and outlier, and MR‐Egger methods were performed as sensitivity analyses. The odds ratio was 1.20 (95% CI, 1.08–1.33;P=6.83×10−4)

Abstract 4140139: Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) in prediction of chronic coronary artery disease: risk, coronary artery lesions, and cardiovascular disease events

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4140139-A4140139, November 12, 2024. Introduction:The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a significant metric for evaluating arterial function. Recent statistics indicate that a high CAVI score has the potential to predict future cardiovascular disease (CVD) occurrences.
