“…A majority of patients in our study population had a history of smoking tobacco, a risk factor which may not only influence the development of cardiovascular disease, cancer and pulmonary disease (among myriad other associated diseases), but may also influence progression of liver disease (75, 76). Other lifestyle factors more prevalent in HCV infection included a history of incarceration, which was twice as common in our study population, and tattoos.…”

“…These studies ranged in duration from 4 to 12 weeks and used conventional berry products or purified anthocyanin extracts, suggesting that both these forms of delivery are effective. Berries were also shown to increase plasma antioxidant capacity 36 and to decrease lipid peroxidation 42 in smokers who are at high risk of developing CVD 55 …”

Berries are a good source of polyphenols, especially anthocyanins, micronutrients, and fiber. In epidemiological and clinical studies, these constituents have been associated with improved cardiovascular risk profiles. Human intervention studies using chokeberries, cranberries, blueberries, and strawberries (either fresh, or as juice, or freeze-dried), or purified anthocyanin extracts have demonstrated significant improvements in LDL oxidation, lipid peroxidation, total plasma antioxidant capacity, dyslipidemia, and glucose metabolism. Benefits were seen in healthy subjects and in those with existing metabolic risk factors. Underlying mechanisms for these beneficial effects are believed to include upregulation of endothelial nitric oxide synthase, decreased activities of carbohydrate digestive enzymes, decreased oxidative stress, and inhibition of inflammatory gene expression and foam cell formation. Though limited, these data support the recommendation of berries as an essential fruit group in a heart-healthy diet.

“…The FRENA (Factores de Riesgo y ENfermedad Arterial) Registry is an ongoing, multi-centre, observational registry designed to gather and analyse data on treatment patterns and outcomes in stable outpatients with symptomatic coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease or peripheral artery disease in Spanish hospitals [14][15][16]. The aim of this study was to compare the incidence of subsequent ischaemic events (myocardial infarction, ischaemic stroke or critical limb ischaemia) in patients with Type 2 diabetes and mean HbA 1c levels < 7.0% (< 53 mmol ⁄ mol) vs. those with mean HbA 1c levels > 7.0% (> 53 mmol ⁄ mol).…”
