Median population heart rate was 74 bpm (interquartile range 72–76 bpm). A 10-bpm increase was significantly associated with increased risk of all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 1.10, 95% confidence interval 1.08–1.13, high quality). Overall, subgroup analyses related to patient characteristics ...
This technique leads to the production of FPIs in a simple and straightforward manner, where the sensitivity of the sensor can even be increased (or tuned) by adding additional layers of UV-curable resin (Oliveira et al., 2019). Therefore for the FPI production, a drop UV-curable resin ...
Nevertheless, reduced VLF power has been reported as a powerful predictor of ventricular tachycardia in patients with prior myocardial infarction and cardiovascular events in heart failure patients31,32. Moreover, low VLF was previously found to be associated with increased major adverse cardiovascular ...
despite not having received our intervention. There are two likely explanations. First, that taking part in the pre-test survey encouraged participants to reflect on their sexual proclivities, which impacted their later responding. Second, that sexual proclivity naturally ...
Psychological stress is generally accepted to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but results have varied in terms of how stress is measured and the strength of the association. Additionally, the mechanisms and potential causal links have remained speculative despite ...
Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, for every job lost to a machine at least one new job was created, and the average standard of living has increased dramatically. Yet there are good reasons to think that this time it is different, and that machine learning will be a real ...
Heterozygous variants in BMPR2 were identified as the first monogenic cause of PAH and the number of genetic associations has rapidly increased over time. Whole exome and genome sequencing on large PAH cohorts has demonstrated an overall diagnostic yield of ~20% that may be as high as 40% in...
1 Midlife hypertension is associated with an approximately 60% increased risk of all-cause dementia2 and an approximately 25% increased risk of Alzheimer dementia.3 However, in late life, this association was not consistently observed, and most studies have found either no association or that ...
Arectal temperatureof this magnitude or greater implies that the body's mechanisms for dealing with an increased heat load have been overwhelmed and that the pathologic effects of increased temperature may occur.

In the conscious animal, loss of blood volume is initially compensated for by increased heart rate and cardiac contractility, together with peripheral vasoconstriction. These physiological responses are blunted or abolished during anaesthesia. Consequently, the significance of the blood loss may not be ap...
