or CAD for short, is the most common. You might also hear it referred to as coronary heart disease or ischemic heart disease, but no matter what you call it, about 5% of American adults have it, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). And it’s not just a concern for o...
The occurrence of AF is usually considered to be associated with multiple cardiovascular risk factors, such as advanced age, male, hypertension, diabetes, heart failure, and hyperthyroidism4,6,7. However, a small part of the patients with AF lack the clinical evidence of risk factors. We named...

By working together with our healthcare providers, we can all take steps towards reducing our risks for developing this condition – and improving our overall cardiovascular health! Sources Coronary Angiography – NHS Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) – CDC Coronary heart disease – NHS Medical ...
are at higher risk of all types of heart disease. Among Black people, 47% are diagnosed with some type ofcardiovascular(heart and blood vessel) disease. For White people, the rate is 36%. Overall, Black people are more than twice as likely as White people to die from heart disease. ...
More recently, studies in populations free of cardiovascular disease have shown that very high HDL-C levels are associated with an increased mortality risk, and the same conclusion has been confirmed in population with coronary artery disease or hypertension [7, 15,16,17,18]. Nevertheless, the ...

AIMS: Patients with chest pain and no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) are considered at low risk for cardiovascular events but evidence supporting this is scarce. We investigated the prognostic implications of stable angina pectoris in relation to the presence and degree of CAD with no ob...

It is thus unknown whether ischaemic heart disease (as in western Europe and the US) or stroke (as in the Far East) is the prevailing cause of cardiovascular death. This information, however, is required for planning cardiovascular prevention programmes. We analyse available Turkish national cause...
