(Berger & Owen, 1992). It has been proposed that health Qigong practice, a form of moderate demanding activity, can stabilize the sympathovagal function (Lee, Kim, & Lee, 2005) and make influence on the autonomicnervous system(ANS) (Payne, Fiering, Leiter, Zava, & Crane-Godreau, 2017)...
The assessment explained that the strongest evidence of the value of such a test is direct evidence that its measurement to assess cardiovascular disease risk results in improved patient outcomes. In the absence of such evidence, the assessment of the potential clinical utility of a test lies in ...
The base-apex lead system results in an ECG with large wave amplitude and is sufficient for evaluating most arrhythmias. The positive electrode is placed on the skin over the left fifth intercostal space at the level of the elbow; the negative electrode is placed on the skin over the right ...
Since results including the diet quality score as a covariate are not substantially different as compared to the main analyses, the association between FS subtypes and CVD risk cannot be simply explained by overall diet quality. Comparison with other studies Other studies focusing on added sugars or...
In Kitava, where New Guineans live a traditional life as horticulturalists, CVD and other conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease and rheumatic disease, appear to be very rare. This is not likely to be explained simply by a low life expectancy allowing too little time for these conditions ...
“The anti-obesity medications and their effect on cardiometabolic health are creating an entire new frontier where we can make progress,” Krumholz explained. “The prevention area is also exploding with new ideas, new targets, new opportunities, with ways to treat people that may be intermittent...
glycemic control beyond that of GLP-1RAs through direct and indirect actions on the pancreas and other tissues, including enhancing pancreatic β-cell insulin secretion, reducing glucose-adjusted glucagon secretion and improving insulin sensitivity beyond the levels usually explained by weight loss6,7,8...
Previous intervention studies have shown some benefits of dark chocolate for the cardiovascular system, but it has not been established whether dark chocolate intake is associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). To investigate the causality between dark chocolate intake and the risk of...
2. Cardiovascular System This section is devoted to the description of the CVS from a functional point of view, with special attention to the carotid artery. The cardiac cycle is explained through the left ventricular pressure–volume (PV) loops, diagrams that also allow the identification of dys...
(130 to 144 μg/m3) levels of PM10[12]. This can be explained by the fact that the adaptive response to PM in populations living in areas with high levels of PM long-term exposures may lead to smaller estimate changes per unit [5]. This finding may partly explain the higher rates ...
