Abstract:
Screening for asymptomatic cardiovascular disease (CVD) by non-invasive imaging can detect CVD risk, often decades before a clinical event. Early detection of CVD can improve health outcomes by allowing for earlier intervention and treatment. Psychological and behavioural responses to screening can influence health outcomes. However, the impact of screening for asymptomatic CVD from a psychological and behavioural perspective is not well understood. Furthermore, little is known about how to best support individuals in coping with screening-related psychological and behavioural responses, and m

Abstract:
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality for many decades in Sweden. Preventive work in primary health care through individual approach and community-based programmes has shown some success. Still, we need better risk assessment tools and health strategies to lessen the burden of CVD in our population. Methods: This thesis is based on four studies that explore the cardiovascular risk factor pattern and its development to CVD morbidity and mortality in the middle-aged (40-59 years) population in Söderåkra, southern Sweden, 1989-2006.

The first response to screening is whether one attends or not. Results showed that uptake of screening in worksite settings (N=425) (Chapter 2) could be predicted by the health beliefs derived from social cognition models.

Background: Middle-aged individuals (≥ 35 years) are exercising more and living longer. Vigorous exercise can transiently increase the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in those with underlying cardiovascular disease (CVD). Pre-participation screening (PPS) can detect CVD. The optimal screening method in Masters athletes is unclear. Suggested methods include cardiovascular history questionnaire, physical examination, cardiovascular risk scores, resting electrocardiogram (ECG), exercise treadmill test (ETT), and imaging techniques.

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>健康政策與管理研究所<br>99<br>Abstract Background Owing to the high costs spent annually in cardiovascular diseases, there is an urgent need in identifying subjects at an early stage based on view point of preventive medicine. The development of a cost-effective screening tool with adequate diagnostic accuracy is thus crucial. Goals To investigate the diagnostic accuracy and cost-effectiveness of various cardiovascular screening tools in the estimation of intermediate-to-high risk Framingham risk score (FRS) subjects in asymptomatic population.

MMed, Psychiatry, University of the Witwatersrand, Faculty of Health Sciences<br>Introduction Antipsychotics are used for the treatment of psychotic disorders, most commonly schizophrenia, as well as mood disorders e.g. bipolar mood d isorder. The efficacy of the newer second generation (atypical) antipsychotics is equivalent to first generation antipsychotics. The apparent advantage of the second generation antipsychotics is related to their purported reduced side effect profile, thus making them more desirable due to improved compliance and relapse prevention. The limiting factor with t

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: This study explored training effectiveness for community health workers (CHWs) in a successful intervention in which they conducted primary screening for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in low resource settings. Implementation challenges related to scaling were explored with key informants. METHODS: A multiple methods assessment was conducted to: (1) quantitatively assess training effectiveness; (2) qualitatively capture the CHWs’ experience of training; (3) gather feedback from key stakeholders about factors anticipated to impact scaling the intervention to the population level.

Abstract:
A prática desportiva, para além dos benefícios indiscutíveis para a saúde, pode, em determinadas circunstâncias aumentar o risco de eventos cardíacos agudos. O coração, como qualquer outro musculo do corpo, é um órgão que se adapta ao esforço através de hipertrofia e maximização de função. Assim, um atleta pode apresentar alterações cardíacas a nível funcional, estrutural e eletrocardiográfico, geralmente denominadas “coração do atleta”, que não representam mais que uma adaptação fisiológica ao exercício. Por vezes, no entanto, essas adaptações podem evoluir para alterações patológicas que aum
