Blood pressure Diet Exercise, physical activity Diabetes Pre-existing heart disease, or already having had a heart attack There are some imaging tests that may be used in cardiac risk assessment. Non-invasive tests may include, for example, an electrocardiogram (ECG, EKG) or a stress test, als...
If these get too narrow, it can be hard for your heart to get the fresh blood and oxygen it needs. If it doesn't get enough, you can be at risk for aheart attackor other serious health problems. A cardiac perfusion test tells your doctor if the muscles of your heart are getting en...
Risk prediction was further improved when the investigators added NT-proBNP levels to the Revised Cardiac Risk Index, which iscurrently usedto predict perioperative cardiac risk. "What these findings show is that a simple and relatively cheap blood test can measure in adults undergoing noncardiac sur...
UAntwerp (University of Antwerp), UZA (Antwerp University Hospital), and Multiplicom NV together developed a blood test to determine the genetic risk of "Sudden Cardiac Death" (SCD). This test, ca ...UAntwerp (University of Antwerp)
Unstable angina.Angina is chest pain that develops when your heart does not get enough oxygen-rich blood. The pain comes and goes. Unstable angina is a more dangerous type of angina that puts you at a high risk of getting a heart attack. A high-sensitivity troponin test can help diagnose...
The most used risk scores to predict blood transfusion are the Transfusion Risk and Clinical Knowledge (TRACK) and Transfusion Risk Understanding Scoring Tool (TRUST). However, these scores were not validated for the Brazilian population. The objective of this study was to assess the accuracy of ...
Methods: Eleven risk factors such as, 'active smoking' (AS), 'passive smoking' (PS), 'physical inactivity' (PI), 'excess alcohol intake' (EAI), 'high blood pressure' (HBP), 'high blood cholesterol' (HBC), 'obesity and overweight' (OO), 'diabetes mellitus' (DM), 'increasing age' ...
Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared between patients with vs without cardiac injury using the log-rank test. Multivariate Cox regression models were used to determine the independent risk factors for death during hospitalization. Data were analyzed using SPSS version...
0.06 μg l−1. Values of >0.04 μg l−1were considered elevated. Blood samples were taken on presentation and 2 h later for low- and intermediate-risk patients and at 0 and 6 h for high-risk patients. All available troponin results were used for clinical decision-...
