Abstract:

Coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, collectively cardiovascular disease (CVD), are caused by narrowing and blockage of the arteries supplying the heart and brain, respectively. In type 2 diabetes (DM<sub>2</sub>) insulin is insufficient to maintain normal blood glucose. South Asians have high susceptibility to these diseases. Drawing upon the scientific literature and discussions with 22 internationally recognized scholars, this book focuses on causal explanations and their implications for prevention and research. Genetically based hypotheses are considered together with the developmenta

Abstract:

Air Pollution and Cardiovascular Diseases is a comprehensive guide that explains the connection between air pollution and heart health. The article is organized into clear sections, each providing essential information on the causes, mechanisms, health impacts, and preventive measures associated with cardiovascular diseases resulting from exposure to polluted air. It begins by defining air pollution and identifying the major pollutants, such as particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and ozone (O₃), that are most harmful to cardiovascular health.

Abstract:

There is a pressing need to develop novel therapies for myocardial infarction and heart failure, two conditions that affect over 20% of the world population. Despite important advances in achieving revascularization of the ischaemic myocardium and the usefulness of devices in assisting failing hearts, therapy for these conditions remains poor. The final extent of myocardial tissue loss after infarction is a major determinant of post-infarction mortality due to heart failure. In this chapter we review the current strategies aimed at counteracting injury due to acute myocardial ischaemia–reperfu

The molecular basis of ageing is reviewed. This includes the concept of a summation of DNA damage over a lifetime causing genome instability. Epigenetic alterations, telomeric shortening, and the possibility of their modification are discussed. Oxidative and mitochondrial DNA damage and the resulting dysfunction leading to senescence are briefly described. Systemic problems and resultant behavioural adaptation may mask the decline in functional reserve and cause some of the difficulties in identifying its presence in ill elderly patients.

Abstract:

Hypertension is a multifactorial disease, in which vascular dysfunction plays a prominent role. It occurs in over 30% of adults worldwide and an additional 30% are at high risk of developing the disease. Vascular pathology is both a cause of the disease and a key manifestation of hypertension-associated target-organ damage. It leads to clinical symptoms and is a key risk factor for cardiovascular disease. All layers of the vascular wall and the endothelium are involved in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Pathogenetic mechanisms, whereby vascular damage contributes to hypertension, are linked

Abstract:

Hyperglycaemia is a frequent phenomenon in critically-ill patients, associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Hyperglycaemia results in cellular glucose overload and toxic adverse effects of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, especially in tissues with insulin-independent glucose uptake, and acute hyperglycaemia can exert a variety of negative effects. It is the main side effect of intensive insulin therapy. Both severe and moderate hypoglycaemia are independent risk factors of mortality in critically-ill patients.

Sleep apnea is a common condition involving breathing during sleep, which nonetheless has consequences beyond the scope of either sleep or breathing. Repeated, reversible respiratory obstructions are related to abnormal ventilatory drives and decreased upper airway neuromuscular activation. They result in dysautonomia, sleep fragmentation, and increased cardiovascular risks. Obstructive sleep apnea classically presents with daytime sleepiness and snoring, and its effects on learning, cognition, and mood are pervasive.

Abstract:

Renal vascular disease typically occurs with progressive narrowing of the main renal artery or smaller arterial vessels. Often, both patterns of disease coexist and result in ‘ischaemic nephropathy’ with damage to renal tissue. Much less commonly, inflammatory vasculitis can affect small or medium vessels. Ninety per cent of renal vascular disease is caused by atherosclerosis. Patients with renal vascular disease have an increased risk of cardiovascular death from associated cerebrovascular and coronary heart disease. Less than 10% of renal vascular disease is caused by fibromuscular dysplasia

Scientific investigation of the relationships between sleep and neurological disorders is at a relatively early stage.

Sleep disorders in patients with neurological disease can negatively affect quality of life for both the patients and the caregivers.

Neonatal anaesthesia requires an understanding of how neonates differ from adults and older children in anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology. There are also pathological and surgical conditions in neonates that are associated with unique anaesthesia challenges. Organ systems are generally immature, reducing the clearance of many drugs, while different water and fat content results in altered volumes of distribution. Pharmacological management is further complicated by a lack of basic pharmacokinetic data for the use of most anaesthetic drugs in neonates. At birth, there is a transition from a
