“…Our present study showed that cfPWV increased with the increasing trend of BFP, a reliable marker for obesity, and BFP is one of important independent risk factor of arterial stiffness, which is consist with some previous studies. Many researchers have demonstrated that obesity is a vital influence factor for arterial stiffness either in adults or in youth 15,22–24 . Maria and colleges found that BMI is independent parameters associated with cfPWV and revealed that prepubescent children with obesity who were shown to be metabolically healthy presented with arterial stiffness 22 .…”

“…12,13 In general, although evidence have showed the relationship between BMI and arterial stiffness, the evidence for the relationship between BFP and arterial stiffness is still insufficient. 14,15 In this study, we aim to investigate the associations between BFP and arterial stiffness measured by cfPWV in a cohort of Fuzhou Study.…”

Obesity and overweight are closely related to cardiovascular mortality. Arterial stiffness is one of the important risks for cardiovascular diseases and is strongly related with the cardiovascular mortality. However, the relationship between obesity and arterial stiffness is still controversial. A cross-sectional study was performed to examine the relationship of body fat percentage (BFP), an indicator of obesity, with carotidfemoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) in 2603 subjects (aged 58.62 ± 11.27 years, male 71.07%, hypertension 64.89%). All participants were divided into four groups according to the gender and the presence of arterial stiffening based on a value ≥10 m/s of cfPWV(group1 : male with cfPWV <10 m/s, group2 : male with cfPWV ≥10 m/s, group3 : female with cfPWV <10 m/s, group4 : female with cfPWV ≥10 m/s). Body weight, height, waist circumference, blood pressure were measured and clinical biochemical tests were recorded. cfPWV was measured using a non-invasive automatic device (Complior Analysis, France). BFP were calculated by CUN-BAE equation. The level of cfPWV was significantly increased with the increasing trend of BFP in both males and females. Stepwise multiple regression analysis revealed that SBP, DBP, HR, Hcy, BFP, FPG were independent associated with cfPWV in females and SBP, eGFR, FPG, BFP, DBP were independent associated with cfPWV in males. In the subgroups stratified by age, BFP was correlated with cfPWV only in females over 60 years old, but not in female those aged under 60 years old and males. In addition to the age and blood pressure, BFP was one of important predictor of arterial stiffening special in females aged over 60 years old.

Cysticercosis is a parasitic disease produced by the larval stage of the Taenia solium and the heart is one of the sites of infection. In spite of the fact that neurocysticercosis is well described in the literature, there are few reports on cardiac cysticercosis what justifies the performance of this study. Objective: the present study aimed at the dynamic evaluation of the host-parasite relationship in cardiac cysticercosis in autopsy material. Materials and Methods: Records of autopsies performed at the Federal University of the Triangulo Mineiro Hospital, Uberaba, Brazil, from 1970 to 2005, were reviewed. From the selected cases, a morphological analysis was performed to identify the general pathological processes. Results: The occurrence of cysticercosis was verified in 71(3.2%) cases. Despite encephalic occurrence being the most frequent (74.6%), cardiac localization (25.4%) was the second most encountered in our material, mainly in non-Caucasian individuals (72.3%). Several pathological processes were found, such as glycogen deposits, amyloidosis, fibrosis and fibroelastosis that showed association with cardiac cysticercosis. Conclusion: These data contribute to the knowledge of cardiac cysticercosis pathology and its possible anatomo-clinical correlations.
