Abstract:

Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) is a major cause of death in Western countries. Mediterranean and Asian populations have a lower risk of death from CHD compared to Westernised population, as do vegetarian versus omnivorous populations. Dietary constituents of traditional diets consumed by these populations are thought to influence both the classical risk factors for CHD, and the more recently identified risk factors, such as oxidative modification of low density lipoprotein (LDL), LDL particle size, arterial compliance and haemostatic factors. The aim of this thesis was to examine the effects

Abstract:

Coronary heart disease (CHD) has traditionally been regarded as a male disease and, because of this, the magnitude of the problem in women is often overlooked. Yet, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CHD in particular, remains, next to cancer, the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women. The longstanding emphasis on the problem of CHD in men, has resulted in a widespread tendency to minimise the incidence and severity of the disease in women. Moreover, most epidemiologic studies examining morbidity and mortality from CHD have focused largely on men, producing a significant gender gap i

Abstract:

Coronary heart disease (CHD) claims millions of lives every year worldwide. In the developed countries, a clear connection has been documented between a decline in CHD mortality and modifiable risk factor reductions. While raising awareness of CHD risk factors reduction is imperative, no valid instrument backed by robust psychometric data is available to measure people‘s awareness in this regard. In addition, especially among the Chinese population, despite many studies already conducted concerning awareness of CHD-related issues, inconsistency in how people define and measure this concept rem

Abstract:

Epidemiological studies clearly demonstrate the importance of numerous risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD), including blood lipids, blood pressure, cigarette smoking and physical inactivity. These factors are widely believed to account for only around 50% of CHD cases. However, "within-person" variation in coronary risk factors can affect the size and even direction of estimated aetiological relationships, and though these effects have been explored for the univariate relations of blood pressure and blood cholesterol, much uncertainty remains.

There are many lifestyle factors that are known to increase the risk of CHD. This study looks at both risk factors and protective factors of CHD. Research also shows CHD prevalence to be predicted by socio-economic status (SES) variables. This study aims to identify the extent to which risk and protective factors predict CHD prevalence in an Australian National survey and whether the association between risk factors and CHD is confounded by SES variables.

It has been found incorporated in atherosclerotic plaques and inhibits in vitro fibrinolysis. Lp(a) was determined in 1527 randomly selected individuals participating in the Northern Sweden WHO-MONICA project. A weak but significant relation between Lp(a) and increasing age was found.

Prediction for future coronary artery disease (CAD) from high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and triglyceride (TG) measurements are based off of a single measurement that has been shown to be variable.

To assess the reproducibility of TG clearance, 10 men underwent three trials of a 70g oral fat loading test with blood samples collected every two hours for eight hours. These trials were all scheduled at least one week apart. Men who had fasting TG concentrations > 250 mg - dL -' were excluded fr

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of anger/hostility on physiological and behavioral coronary heart disease risk factors.

Some researchers suggest that negative consummatory behaviors play a direct causal role in CHD. The present study proposed that hostility predisposes an individual to these behaviors, and that these behaviors in turn, contribute to CHD. Further, it was proposed that some of the anger that e

Stress hyperglycaemia refers to the transient elevation of blood glucose levels in individuals with no known history of diabetes mellitus or impaired glucose tolerance during acute and critical illness. It occurs as a stress response and results from the complex interaction between the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and autonomic nervous system as well as the inflammatory cytokine pathways. There are no clear guidelines set for defining stress hyperglycaemia in the acutely and critically ill patients. The reported prevalence of stress hyperglycaemia varied widely as a result.
