Coronary heart disease secondary prevention
Epidemiological data suggests that India is host to 30–40 million patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and the 1 prevalence is increasing. This is also the largest cause of 2 mortality in the country. Unfortunately, the diagnosis and management of CHD in the country is not standardized and 3,4 follow-up mechanisms are poor. This is due to weak public and private healthcare systems for chr...
متن کاملBLOOD PRESSURE COMPONENTS AS PREDICTORS OF ISCHAEMIC HEART DISEASE MORTALITY IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND
The relative importance of systolic blood pressure (SBP) versus diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in predicting the risk of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) mortality is controversial. We have re-examined SBP compared to D BP and other combinations of SBP and D BP in predicting the risk of IHD mortality in a long-term cohort study oflO,541 men and women in the West of Scotland. During a mean fo...

Ischaemic heart disease accounts for nearly half of the global cardiovascular disease burden. Aetiologies relating to heart disease are complex, but dyslipidaemia, oxidative stress and inflammation are cardinal features. Despite preventative measures and advancements in treatment regimens with lipid-lowering agents, the high prevalence of heart disease and the residual risk of recurrent events ...

The overwhelming dominance of the lipid hypothesis for atheroma has obscured the compelling evidence-some of it of many years standing' but some that is more recent2 3 -that both platelets and the coagulation system also contribute to the lesion. There is much epidemiological evidence4 5 of some other process besides atherogenesis to account for the clinical manifestations of coronary artery di...
متن کاملIschaemic heart disease.
There can be no truly objective frequency estimate of the susceptibility of the population to ischaemic heart disease: everybody has some degree of susceptibility. The disease kills 1 in 4 of the population, and 1 man in 10 dies of ischaemic heart disease before 65 years of age. The major burden is mortality, though there is often some degree of impairment among survivors of acute attacks. It i...
