Ischemic stroke is the third leading cause of death and the leading cause of long-term disability in the United States. Immediate treatment can play a major role in the outcome of ischemic stroke and can help improve prognosis in many cases. One of the factors effecting immediate treatment is a
Background:
Sudden cardiac death (SCD), also termed sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), accounts for approximately 15 percent of the total mortality in industrialized countries. In Europe, the incidence of out-of-hospital Emergency Medical Services (EMS) attended sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is estimated to
Hypertension has become one of the most common diseases in the world and considered a public health challenge due to its association with morbidity and mortality and increased cost to society. Hypertension is the most important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease,
The study will provide insight into:
1. The influence of the baseline level of omega-3 PUFA in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and CVD on endothelial function, platelet aggregation and thrombotic, inflammatory, oxidative stress biomarkers.
2. The potential to improve the endothelial
The BALANCE Program will investigate the effect of the Program in reducing cardiovascular events, such as cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, myocardial revascularization, amputation for peripheral arterial disease, hospitalization for unstable angina, or death in patients with
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has become the most common form of coronary revascularization worldwide. Although PCI is a safe procedure, it may have multiple risks including bleeding, coronary dissection, abrupt vessel closure, and myocardial necrosis. It is estimated that approximately
Results of epidemiologic studies and clinical trials indicate that moderate doses of n-3 unsaturated fatty acids reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease(CVD) and may improve prognosis. N-3 fatty acids have several beneficial cardiovascular properties (1-3), including antiatherothrombotic,
BACKGROUND Cardiac troponins are sensitive markers for myocardial injury in ACS and even a minor elevation of cardiac troponins is associated with an increased risk for future adverse coronary events. However, a detectable troponin release occurs only in a part of patients admitted with ACS. The
Background Cardiovascular diseases belong to the major causes of mortality in western populations. Atherosclerosis of arterial system may result in ischemic heart disease (IHD) and peripheral artery disease with possible fatal consequences such as acute myocardial infarction and
Randomized clinical trial involving 1002 patients with coronary disease that are undergoing one of two diets in a randomized design (two groups; Mediterranean Diet 502 patients, Low Fat 500 patients) for 7 years. The two diets are: a)Low fat diet: <30% fat (12-14% monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA);
A diet rich in Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids Omega 3 reduces plasma triglycerides and the risk for ischemic heart disease1, and may exert direct antiarrhythmic effect on the myocardium 2-9. A post-hoc analysis of the GISSI-Prevenzione trial demonstrated a reduction in all-cause and sudden
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a 2 to 5-fold increase in cardiovascular mortality compared to non-diabetics.
Endothelial dysfunction (ED) is an early messenger of atherosclerosis and is present in states showing a high cardiovascular (CV) risk, such as active and passive smoking,
Objective To study the effect of two preoperative immune enhancing nutritional supplements compared with a control nutritional supplement in 'high risk' risk cardiac surgery patients
Introduction: Elderly patients and patients with a poor ventricular function undergoing cardiac operations with
