Although the term cardiovascular disease refers to a disorder of the cardiovascular system, it is usually associated with atherosclerosis, also known as arterial disease. It is considered the leading cause of deaths in the world, taking 17.1 million lives a year. There are only a few factors tha...
Under CVD, researchers and vendors work together to identify and fix the vulnerabilities and negotiate a mutually agreeable amount of time patching the product and informing the public. Researchers can also opt to disclose to a U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (CERT), which reports privately...
These values represent what research has shown to be the optimal blood sugar targets for nonpregnant adults to avoid complications of diabetes in the long term. Less than 70 mg/dl is considered alow blood sugar, or hypoglycemia, and the newest guideline consider that you want to catch a low...
The limitations of both the indices and the studies that use them need to be considered when interpreting and comparing results. However, diet quality indices do appear to be able to quantify risk of some health outcomes, including biomarkers of disease and risk of CVD, some c...
Low LDL-P is a much stronger predictor of low risk than low LDL-C. In fact, about 30 – 40% of those with low LDL-C may have elevated LDL-P. Therefore you can have low LDL-C but still be at risk for CVD, particularly if your LDL-P is elevated. Discordance is when LDL-C dif...
but not its color. This is called monochromacy or achromatopsia. Achromatopsia can be inherited but can also result from progressive eye diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa. In summary, there are many types and degrees of what can be considered “color blindness,” ranging from partial to comple...
Is a CRP of 1.0 high? Here are what the results mean: hs-CRP level of lower than 1.0 mg/L -- low risk of CVD (heart disease) hs-CRP level of 1.0 mg/L and 3.0 mg/L -- moderate risk of CVD. hs-CRP level of more than 3.0 mg/L -- high riskofCVD. ...
This is well below the MTDI (Maximum Tolerable Daily Intake) for food phosphates considered safe (JECFA 1982). The large majority of P in diets comes from natural sources, such as milk and dairy products, meat and many other foods. For patients with kidney problems, it is generally ...
The concept of CM dedifferentiation was first considered a representative feature in remodelling myocardium and later extended to CMs in a regenerating heart. It not only has potentially great therapeutic significance but also potential risk in the prevention and treatment of CVD. As this field develop...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the main cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide (Mc Namara et al., 2019). The inflammation is the main causes of CVD, such as atherosclerosis. Accordingly, focal, and systemic inflammation play a key role in the destabilization and rupture of atherosclerotic...
