IHD was by far the leading cause of global CVD mortality, with an age-standardized rate per 100,000 of 108.8 deaths, followed by intracerebral hemorrhage and ischemic stroke. All 3 leading causes of CVD mortality manifest similarly profound regional variation. These marked variations have their ...
“They lived a long life; it was their time.”While this might be true, it doesn’t diminish the sadness of the loss. A pet’s age doesn’t always correlate with the intensity of the bond or the difficulty of saying goodbye.
Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) encompasses a range of structural defects in the heart chambers or the major blood vessels near the heart. It is the most prevalent type of birth defect, occurring at a rate of 8–10 cases per 1000 live births.21Not surprisingly, individuals with CHD are repor...
Results The mean (SD) age of 5861 OPACH participants was 78.5 (6.7) years (range, 63-99 years) (Table 1). One-third (33.5%) of the OPACH women were black, 17.6% were Hispanic, and 48.8% were of white race/ethnicity. The mean daily time spent in light PA ranged from 0.6 to 10...

giving rise to the phenotypic expression of the heart failure spectrum. This expression manifests as changes in ventricular preload or afterload, variations in inotropy (increased or decreased contractility), lusitropy (the ability of the ventricle to relax), and chronotropy (heart rate regulation),...
The mean age of the controls was 39 ± 7 years (range 20–58) compared with 52 ± 7 (range 34–69) for the decedents (p < 0.001). Fifty of the deaths (96%) occurred in firefighters who were over 40 years old, while 51% of the active firefighters were younger than 40 years old...
