Cardiac calcium scoring tests can be used to determine the risk of cardiovascular disease and heart disease. The tests use a multi-slice CT scanner for the detection of small amounts of calcium or plaque in the coronary arteries. Images can show whether the coronary arteries are narrowed or bl...
Fat around the midsection is worse than fat that is evenly dispersed throughout the body. For example, men with a waist circumference over 40 inches and women with a waist circumference over 35 inches have a increased risk of cardiovascular disease compared to people with the same BMI but a ...
The aims of the project are to identify CV risk factors, calculate CV risk and ensure referral of RJD a patients at increased risk to further evaluation and initiation of adequate CV preventive measures. Accordingly, all centres have implemented an electronic journal program (GoTreatIt-rheuma [...

Long-term follow-up analysis revealed that PMR is likely to be higher for cardiovascular disease than for classic Hodgkin lymphoma among patients with stage I and stage II classic Hodgkin lymphoma [98]. By analyzing the relative risk of mortality compared with all people using the SMR, Zaorsky...
Results from recent studies alsoindicatedthat moderate egg consumption (one egg per day) is not associated with cardiovascular disease risk overall and is even associated with potentially lower cardiovascular disease risk. There are endless ways to use them, including in omelets, deviled eggs, fried...
10,000 steps are about the same as walking four to five miles, depending on your stride, and a number that has been linked to a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease (heart disease, stroke, and heart failure), multiple types of cancer, and dementia. ...
