Cardiovascular risk prediction: balancing complexity against simple practicality.
significant decline in cardiovascular mortality and morbidity has been achieved with the improvements in detection and prevention programmes for major risk factors (such as smoking, low physical activity levels, obesity, and high blood pressure) related to cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, CVD still remains the leading cause of mortality and disability in the world. Collectively, ischaemic...
متن کاملRisk Prediction in Cardiovascular Medicine Cardiovascular Risk Prediction
Few topics have received as much attention in the cardiovascular literature over the last 5 years as risk prediction. The assessment of risk has been a key element in efforts to define risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), to identify novel markers of risk for CVD, to identify and assess potential targets of therapy, and to enhance the cost-effective implementation of therapies for bot...
متن کاملComplexity of Pseudoknot Prediction in Simple Models
Efficient exact algorithms for finding optimal secondary structures of RNA sequences have been known for a quarter of a century. However, these algorithms are restricted to structures without overlapping base pairs, or pseudoknots. The ability to include pseudoknots has gained increased attention over the last five years, but three recent publications indicate that this might leave the problem ...
متن کاملCardiovascular disease and osteoporosis: Balancing risk management
In this narrative review of the current literature, we examine the traditional risk factors and patient profiles leading to cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. We discuss the interrelationships between risk factors and common pathophysiological mechanisms for cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. We evaluate the increasing evidence that supports an association between these disabling co...
متن کاملChemokines in cardiovascular risk prediction.
In consideration of the important role of inflammation in plaque progression and stability, recent work has focused on whether plasma markers of inflammation can non-invasively diagnose and predict coronary artery disease (CAD) and other forms of atherosclerotic disorders. Although several studies support an important pathogenic role of chemokines in atherogenesis and plaque destabilization, po...
