Abstract:

Screening involves testing asymptomatic individuals who have risk factors, or individuals who are in the early stages of a disease, in order to decide whether further investigation, clinical intervention, or treatment is warranted. Therefore, screening is classically a primary prevention strategy which aims to capture disease early in its course, but it can also involve secondary prevention in individuals with established disease. In the words of Geoffrey Rose, screening is a ‘population’ strategy. Examples of screening programmes are blood pressure monitoring in primary care to screen for hyp

Abstract:

Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and accounts for more deaths than all cancers combined. Many apparently healthy adults first present to the health system with a myocardial infarction or sudden cardiac death. It is therefore imperative to assess the risk of cardiovascular events among currently asymptomatic individuals to try and intervene early in the disease process to prevent future events. Risk factors for the development of coronary artery disease in particular, and cardiovascular disease in general, have been identified from epidemiological studie

Abstract:

Mood disorders are a global health issue. National guidance for their detection and management have been published in the US and in Europe. Despite this, the rate at which depression is recognized and managed in primary and secondary care settings remains low and suggests that many clinicians are still unsure how to screen people for mood disorders. Against the backdrop of this problem, the editors of this volume have designed a book with a dynamic two-fold purpose: to provide an evidence-based overview of screening methods for mood disorders, and to synthesize the evidence into a practical gu

Abstract:

Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare inherited disorder associated with syncope and sudden death manifesting in the young during sympathetic activation. The electrocardiogram is normal and the heart is structurally normal. The diagnosis is usually made with an exercise stress test that shows a typical pattern of onset and offset of adrenergically induced ventricular arrhythmias. Molecular screening of RyR2, the major CPVT gene, is recommended whenever the suspicion of CPVT is high. If a disease-causing mutation is identified, cascade screening allows pre-sympt

Abstract:

Short QT syndrome (SQTS) is a very rare, sporadic or autosomal dominant inherited channelopathy characterized by abnormally short QT intervals on the electrocardiogram and increased propensity to atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias and/or sudden cardiac death. Since its recognition as a distinct clinical entity in 2000, significant progress has been made in defining the clinical, molecular, and genetic basis of SQTS. To date, several causative gain-of-function mutations in potassium channel genes and loss-of-function mutations in calcium channel genes have been identified. The physiologica

With improved long-term survival among populations of people living with HIV, it has been suggested that HIV/AIDS may hasten the aging process. There is increasing evidence that cardiovascular, renal, and bone disease and neurocognitive deficits may be more common among long-term survivors of HIV infection. Findings from cohort and prospective randomized studies suggest that people living with HIV are at increased risk of metabolic bone disease and related fractures.

The introduction of highly potent antiretroviral agents has transformed HIV from a disease with a once dismal prognosis to a manageable chronic medical condition. The primary care provider as well as the HIV care provider must focus on aspects of preventive medicine that improve the quality of life and life expectancy of the HIV-infected person.

Abstract:

Cardiovascular disease remains a leading cause of death and disability globally, and cardiovascular prevention should take place everywhere. Reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease requires a concerted effort in multiple settings (primary care, acute care, community, and home), and from multiple stakeholders such as government, public health, non-governmental organizations, healthcare, industry, and individuals. Primary care provides the majority of healthcare to populations, and is in an optimal position to screen and assess patients for cardiovascular risk and deliver cardiovascular pr

The association between mental health and physical health forms the core of this book. While it is recognized that serious mental illnesses such as schizophrenia carry a reduced life expectancy, it is often assumed that suicide is the main cause of this disparity. But in actuality, suicide accounts for no more than a third of the early mortality associated with schizophrenia: the vast majority is due to cardiovascular factors.

Abstract:

In caring for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), there are several important treatment considerations. Since many patients with SLE are female and of childbearing potential, it is important to address conception planning, contraceptive options, and the maternal and fetal risks associated with pregnancy, which are increased when there is higher SLE disease activity. It is also pertinent to address medication safety issues throughout pregnancy and lactation, as some commonly used medications can increase risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes.

Other components comprise low-molecular-weight filtered proteins that have escaped reabsorption, and proteins secreted or lost into urine from cells of the nephron. Increased permeability of the glomerulus to high-molecular-weight proteins is the most common cause of the clinically detected proteinuria, and albu

About 30–40% of the in-hospital cases with PAD have critical limb ischaemia and suffer from a 1-year mortality of 20–40%.
