Abstract Introduction Modifiable lifestyle risk factors (modRF) of coronary artery disease (CAD) such as smoking, lack of physical activity (PA) and poor diet are associated with high inflammatory burden. An optimisation of modRF might significantly affect the target population for pharmacological anti-inflammatory treatment (AIT) as determined by a hsCRP ≥2 mg/l. Aim To analyse the influence of modRF on hsCRP in a contemporary CAD cohort and model the effect of modRF optimisation on hsCRP in a target population with high inflammatory burden. Methods We included all patients with angiographically documented CAD from an observational cohort study ongoing since 2015 and excluded patients with recent myocardial infarction, malignancy, infectious disease, and immunosuppressive medication. ModRF were assessed by questionnaire at enrolment. Lack of PA was defined as PA <1.5 h/week and poor diet as ≤12 points of an established Mediterranean diet score (MDS, range 0–28 points). The Kruskall-Wallis Test was used to compare hsCRP levels depending on the number of modRF. We performed univariate and multivariate linear regression with log(hsCRP) as the dependent variable. Based on the latter we recalculated hsCRP for each patient assuming optimisation of individual modRF. Results Of the 1003 patients (mean age 69 years, 72% male) included, 48% (N=479) had a hsCRP ≥2 mg/l. HsCRP increased with the incremental number of modRF (median hsCRP-values for 0–3 modRF: 1.1, 1.6, 2.1, 2.7 mg/l, p<0.001). Univariate and multivariate linear regression showed a significant association between log(hsCRP) and each of PA ≥1.5 h/week, MDS >12, and smoking (Table 1). Recalculation of hsCRP levels identified 21% (N=102/479) of patients with hsCRP ≥2 mg/l who could achieve a hsCRP <2 mg/l assuming optimisation of present modRF. Table 1. Linear regression results Univariate Multivariate exp(β) (95% CI) p-value exp(β) (95% CI) p-value PA ≥1.5 h/week 0.63 (0.54, 0.72) <0.001 0.76 (0.66, 0.88) <0.001 MDS >12 0.74 (0.65, 0.86) <0.001 0.83 (0.73, 0.96) <0.010 Smoking 1.16 (1.01, 1.34) <0.040 1.19 (1.03, 1.36) <0.017 Impact of modifiable lifestyle risk factors on hsCRP in 1003 CAD patients. Multivariate analyses are adjusted for age, sex, diabetes, body mass index and intake of cholesterol lowering drugs. Conclusion Modifiable lifestyle risk factors are independently associated with hsCRP levels in CAD patients. A relevant portion of patients with high inflammatory burden might achieve a hsCRP <2 mg/l by lifestyle changes alone. This should be considered in view of the cost and side-effects of pharmacological AIT and for the design of future intervention studies in this field.

Background: There are few data regarding the risk factors of premature vs late-onset Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). This study systematically reviews these risk factors in Iranian people. Methods: Medline, Web of Science, Embase and SID (Scientific Information Database; www.sid.ir) databases were searched for studies comparing CAD risk factors in young and older patients in Iran. Data extracted and pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% Confidence Interval (CI) for each risk factor were calculated. Publication bias was evaluated by Egger’s test. Results: Seven studies (9080 participants) were included in the meta-analysis; analysis was carried out independently for each risk factor. Smoking (Odds Ratio (OR): 2.57, 95% CI: 1.96-3.37; p=<0.001), family history of CAD (OR: 2.45: 95% CI, 1.44-4.15, p<0.001), opium abuse (OR: 2.44: 95% CI, 1.22-4.88; p=0.001) and hyperlipidaemia (OR: 1.4: 95% CI, 1.13-1.73; p=0.001) were more common in premature CAD compared with older CAD patients. In contrast, diabetes mellitus (OR: 0.54: 95% CI, 0.39-0.73; p=0.0001) and hypertension (OR: 0.36, 95% CI: 0.21-0.59; p<0.001) were less prevalent. Conclusion: Risk factors were significantly different between premature and late-onset CAD. Policies regarding smoking and opium cessation and controlling hyperlipidaemia may be useful for the prevention of premature CAD in Iran.

Background: Coronary artery disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A major health concern in developing countries is opioid addiction, which has controversial cardiovascular side effects. We aimed to investigate whether myocardial infarction (MI) and its risk factors are associated with morphine dependency in the Iranian population. Methods: Electronic databases, including PubMed, Medline, Scopus, SID, Elmnet, and Magiran were searched to find published articles including the keywords morphine, coronary artery disease, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes mellitus. Results: Twelve studies involving 25,800 people were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. Morphine dependency was significantly associated with MI with an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 2.28 (95%CI=1.26-4.11). It didn’t have significant associations with hypertension (AOR=0.952; 95%CI=0.696-1.301) nor diabetes (AOR=0.895; 95%CI=0.644-1.246). Morphine dependency also had no significant association with hyperlipidemia with a crude odds ratio (COR) of 0.906 (95%CI=0.786-1.045). Conclusion: Morphine dependency was significantly related to MI, but its risk factors were not significantly associated with morphine dependency. The increasing prevalence of opioid abuse in developing countries may be a reason for the growing incidence of MI in younger ages and individuals with no risk factors. Besides, physicians should consider the presence of impurities in morphine-based opioids and its possible effects on health.
