Prevention of cardiovascular disease in general practice: a proposed model.

Secondary Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in General Practice Summary

In 2001, 41% of all deaths in Ireland were due to cardiovascular disease (CVD), comprising coronary heart disease (CHD) 21%, stroke 9% and other diseases of the circulation 11% . By comparison, 26% of deaths were due to cancer. Although deaths from CVD in Ireland have been decreasing since 1985, they remain high (176/100,000 of the population) compared with the average EU figure of 108/100,000 ...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease--a possible model for Australian general practice.

Heartwatch is a national program in Irish general practice for the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. The program--a joint initiative of the Irish Department of Health and Children, the Irish College of General Practitioners, and the Irish Heart Foundation--has a number of key components, many of which may be suitable for adapting to Australian primary care.
