Verification of smoking history in patients after infarction using urinary nicotine and cotinine measurements.

Only registered users can translate articles

Urinary concentrations of nicotine and its major metabolite cotinine were measured in volunteers whose smoking habits were known to test the reliability of the measurements as indicators of current smoking. In the non-smokers detectable concentrations were always below the confidence limits set for

Serum Cotinine and Silent Myocardial Infarction in Individuals Free from Cardiovascular Disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Serum cotinine is a sensitive and specific marker of tobacco exposure, including second-hand smoke exposure. We sought to explore the association of tobacco exposure determined by serum cotinine with electrocardiographic silent myocardial infarction (SMI). A total of 7,006 participants (59.0 ± 13.3

Tobacco Exposure as Determined by Serum Cotinine and Subclinical Myocardial Injury in Individuals Free from Cardiovascular Disease.

Only registered users can translate articles

Tobacco exposure including second-hand smoke is the leading preventable cause of premature death in the United States. Serum cotinine, a highly sensitive and specific biomarker for tobacco exposure, is a more accurate measure of tobacco exposure than self-reported smoking status. Although the

Association between exposure to environmental tobacco smoke and biomarkers of oxidative stress among patients hospitalised with acute myocardial infarction.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To determine whether exposure to environmental tobacco smoke was associated with oxidative stress among patients hospitalised for acute myocardial infarction. METHODS An existing cohort study of 1,261 patients hospitalised for acute myocardial infarction. METHODS Nine acute hospitals in

Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke increases myocardial infarct size in rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) has been epidemiologically linked to death from ischemic heart disease in nonsmokers. In this study, we evaluated the influence of 3 days, 3 weeks, and 6 weeks of ETS exposure on myocardial infarct size in a rat ischemia/reperfusion

Randomized controlled trial of two cigarette quit programmes in coronary care patients after acute myocardial infarction.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Tobacco cessation after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) substantially improves outcome but how effective individual programmes are needs to be established. To date, few studies have examined this factor. OBJECTIVE To assess the outcome of two smoking cessation programmes after

High dose transdermal nicotine therapy for heavy smokers: safety, tolerability and measurement of nicotine and cotinine levels.

Only registered users can translate articles

Transdermal nicotine has been shown to relieve nicotine withdrawal and to double smoking cessation rates compared to placebo in clinical trials. A 21 or 22 mg/day dose provides a steady state serum nicotine that is less than obtained from smoking. Limited information is available about higher

[An assessment of active and passive exposure to cigarette smoking among patients after percuteneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) with the usage of cotinine level in the serum, urine and saliva. Preliminary study].

Only registered users can translate articles

The aim of the study was an objective assessment of active and passive exposure to cigarette smoke among patients after percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). A questionnaire was answered by 24 patients (18 men and 6 women) aged 48 to 76 (av. 61.2) years. Cotinine (metabolite of

A case-management system for coronary risk factor modification after acute myocardial infarction.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy of a physician-directed, nurse-managed, home-based case-management system for coronary risk factor modification. METHODS Randomized clinical trial in which patients received a special intervention (n = 293) or usual medical care (n = 292) during the first year

Randomised controlled trial of follow up care in general practice of patients with myocardial infarction and angina: final results of the Southampton heart integrated care project (SHIP). The SHIP Collaborative Group.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To assess the effectiveness of a programme to coordinate and support follow up care in general practice after a hospital diagnosis of myocardial infarction or angina. METHODS Randomised controlled trial; stratified random allocation of practices to intervention and control

Cotinine-assessed second-hand smoke exposure and risk of cardiovascular disease in older adults.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE To examine whether second-hand smoke (SHS) exposure measured by serum cotinine is associated with increased coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke risk among contemporary older British adults. METHODS Prospective population-based study with self-reported medical history and health

Symptoms of depression and active smoking among survivors of stroke and myocardial infarction: An NHANES analysis

Only registered users can translate articles

Historic concerns about the cardiovascular and neuropsychiatric side effects of smoking-cessation pharmacotherapy have in part limited their use. We sought to evaluate whether depressive symptoms are associated with active smoking among survivors of stroke and myocardial infarction (MI). To do this,

The effect of stopping smoking on perceived stress levels.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Many smokers believe that smoking helps them to cope with stress, and that stopping smoking would deprive them of an effective stress management tool. Changes in stress levels following long-term smoking cessation are not well mapped. This longitudinal project was designed to provide more

Impact of polysubstance use on high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I over time in homeless and unstably housed women

Only registered users can translate articles

Introduction: The use of controlled substances like cocaine increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and myocardial infarction (MI). However, outside of alcohol and tobacco, substance use is not included in CVD risk assessment

Cannabis misinterpretation and misadventure in a coroner's court.

A 37-year-old, one-pack-per-day tobacco smoker collapsed and died at home. At autopsy, he had an occluded left anterior descending coronary artery. Δ(9)-Tetrahydrocannabinol-carboxylic acid was found in his urine but no cannabinoids were detected in his blood. Misadventure was the inquest verdict on
