Unexpected inverse relationship between impaired glucose metabolism and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 activity in patients with stable vascular disease.
Otto Mayer,Jitka Seidlerová,Jan Filipovský,Katarína Timoracká,Jan Bruthans,Jan Bruthans,Jiří Vaněk,Lenka Černá,Peter Wohlfahrt,Cífková Renata,Ladislav Trefil +10 more
TL;DR: In patients with stable atherovascular disease, presence of inadequately controlled diabetes mellitus was independently associated with lower risk of elevated aLp-PLA2, and this study cannot confirm any additive risk of impaired glucose metabolism in terms of increased activity of Lp- PLA2.

Blood pressure control and risk profile in poststroke survivors: a comparison with the general population.
Renata Cifkova,Peter Wohlfahrt,Alena Krajčoviechová,M. Jozifova,Otto Mayer,Jiří Vaněk,David Hlinovský,Lenka Kielbergerová,Věra Lánská +8 more
TL;DR: A high prevalence and poor control of major cardiovascular risk factors in patients surviving their first-ever ischemic stroke is found, thus showing poor implementation of guidelines for secondary prevention in clinical practice.

Prospective study of metabolic syndrome as a mortality marker in chronic coronary heart disease patients

TL;DR: The co-incidence of MetS has a limited mortality impact in CHD patients, while an increase in fasting glycemia seems to be more a specific marker of mortality risk.

A contribution to the theory of elastic waves produced by shock
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated elastic waves in an infinite homogenous, isotropic and perfectly elastic medium produced by a spherical source on the assumption that the spheroidally distributed stress on the surface of the source is an arbitrary function of time.

A comparison of secondary prevention practice in poststroke and coronary heart disease patients.
Jiří Vaněk,Otto Mayer,Jitka Seidlerová,Jan Bruthans,Lenka Kielbergerová,Peter Wohlfahrt,Alena Krajčoviechová,Jan Filipovský,Renata Cifkova +8 more
TL;DR: Compared to CHD patients, poststroke patients are strongly handicapped in terms of poor adherence to secondary prevention target, prescription of basic pharmacotherapies and mortality risk.
