Cardiovascular ageing: epidemiology
14 important questions on Cardiovascular ageing: epidemiology
What are NAD+ precursors [caloric restriction mimetics]
NAD+ is a coenzyme that is found and needed in all living cells. Here outlined in red is the niconanamide group, which can exit in two forms: the oxidized form NAD+ and the reduced form NADH. In metabolism, NAD+ can accept electrons, NADH can donate electrons in the redox reactions and thus is necessary for ATP production.
What is the role of NAD in Cardiac Energy Metabolism?
We have talked about this 3 components of the cardiac energy metabolism. Component 1 and 2 are the steps that generate ATP. NAD is needed for 1st component and NADH is needed for the 2nd component.
Is NAD+ declining with ageing?
You can image that if NAD+ is decrased, the energy production will be decreased too. Indeed, as you see from this figure, NAD+ and ATP levels is measure in different ages of mice 6-, 22-, and 30-month-old mice (n = 5, *p < 0.05 versus 6-month-old mice). ATP content of 6-, 22-, and 30-month-old mice (n = 5, *p < 0.05 versus 6-month-old mice). You can see clearly reduction of NAD+ as well as ATP levels in the aged mice.
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
How to prevent NAD+ with ageing with diet or nutrition.
the role of NAM in the preventing the age-related diastolic dysfunction and also the diastolic heart failure also called HFpEF.
Where is a higher dietary NAD+ intake associated with?
they also measure the NAD contact in the human heart. They found a rduction of NAD+ in HEpEF pateints. And also the dietatry intake of the vitabmin B3 (niacin) reduced the risk for mortality especially the cardiac mortality. (In the ageing population, cardiac vascular disease is the no.1 cause of death)
What are the risks factors and consequences of AF?
- ageing
- obesity
- diabetes
- hypertension
- valvular heart disease
consequences
- stroke
- heart failure
- death
- decrease the quality of life of the patients, they often may feel palpitation (=hartkloppingen) and have exercise intolerence.
In the clinics, doctors clasify the patients into 4 groups based on the duration of AF episodes. What are these classifications?
- Normal
- Paroxysmal (< 1 week)
- Persistent (>1 week (week to months))
- Long standing persistent (>12 months)
- Permanent (not treatable)
currently patients can be treated with electrical cardioversion or pharmacological drugs, but these treatments are only symptomatic treatment, meaning they can only targeting the symptoms such as to slow down the heart rate or restore heart rhythm. These treatment only works for a short period. It does not stop the progression of the disease. Often, patients comes back to the clinics as AF recur.
- electrical cardio version
- pharmacological cardio version
What are the causes of atrial remodelling
- 'lone' AF [<2%]
- risk factors [>98%]
When/where do these thee types of atrial remodelling take place?
- electrical remodelling
- structural remodelling
- metabolic remodelling
The first signs of structural remodelling do not become apparent until several weeks later.
The period in between (which coincides with a major increase in AF stabilization) is likely to be the most important phase of metabolic remodelling, hallmarked by chronic supply–demand ischaemia and hypoxia. Changing patterns of gene expression in this period reflect a reorientation of metabolism, regression to a foetal phenotype and hibernation.
What does the electrical remodelling do?
You see decreased of CaT amplitude in AF patients.
What is the effect of electrical remodelling in mouse atrial cardiomyocytes?
You see reduction of CaT amplitude and also contractile dysfunction measured by cell shortening.
What is the effect of metabolic remodelling: mitochondrial damage and oxidative stress
What are the major roles of NAD(H) in cellular physiology?
NAD as co-substrate -->> cellular signalling
What induces Tachypacing (TP)
Tachypacing (TP) induced PARP activation in HL-1 cardiomyocytes for AF
We checked the activity of PARP in the cellular model of AF by staining the polyADPribosylated protein (PAR) with fluorescence. We saw significantly increase of the P
