Coronary artery disease in the transplanted heart, also known as cardiac allograft vasculopathy, is one of the major causes of mortality late after transplantation. It affects up to 50% of all heart transplant recipients within 5 years after surgery. The mechanisms of cardiac allograft vascul...
Researchers now have evidence that itmay not be cholesterol that kills, but omega-6's. When a group of individuals replaced animal fats with omega-6-rich safflower oil, their cholesterol levels decreased, however, the rates of death from cardiovascular disease and coronary artery disease increased...
During these emergency room and hospital admissions they are more likely to be treated for chronic diseases such as depression, asthma, diabetes, obesity, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, hypertension, and back and spine disorders. The reason healthcare workers are more likely to u...
What is mean by coronary artery disease? Which is not one of the factors that determine blood pressure? (a) venous valves (b) cardiac output (c) resistance (d) blood volume A patient has a systolic arterial pressure of 145 mmHg and a diastolic pressure of 90 mmHg. ...
How does the fitness level of an individual affect their cardiac output? What should happen to the blood pressure (both systolic and diastolic) as well as the heart rate when pressure is applied to the carotid artery? Will th...
I am a big believer that the next generation of medical trainees are going to really lead this transformation of care with the point-of-care ultrasound that we have foreseen for many years,” says Dr. Frenkel. “And making a scanner that’s more portable and easier to use, and with its...
The CorMicA (Coronary Microvascular Angina) trial provided evidence that routine management guided by an interventional diagnostic procedure and stratified therapy improves angina and quality of life in patients with angina but no obstructive coronary artery disease. In this paper, the COVADIS study ...
The lack of blood flow to the heart causes angina — a symptom of coronary artery disease. The pressure and squeezing it causes can feel like a heart attack. Stable angina is the most common type and typically occurs when you feel emotional stress or physically overexert yourself. The chest ...
How does blood pressure affect peripheral artery disease? How does pulmonary hypertension affect the heart? During ventricle systole, if the pressure in the left atria is lower than pressure in the left ventricle and the left atrioventricular (AV) valve does not close properly what would happen?
