background: passive or environmental smoking is one of the important health problems, to which many adults and children are exposed in involuntary status. methods: in this hospital based case-control study, household exposure to tobacco smoke as an estimate of passive smokers was conducted in hamadan, western iran. the purpose was to find the relationship between environmental smoking and incid...

Coronary heart disease (CHD) causes many deaths. It is a of the that occurs due to decreased blood supply muscle. Risk factors can trigger CHD be grouped into two categories, namely those cannot modified and can. The risk include heredity, age gender, while modifiable smoking, hypertension, increased serum cholesterol levels, obesity diabetes. Basic Health Research data show in 2018, 1.5% or 15...

BACKGROUND Several studies have suggested an association between antibody to human heat shock protein 60 (anti-Hsp60) and coronary atherosclerosis, but the results have been inconsistent. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between anti-Hsp60 and coronary heart disease (CHD) and to determine whether anti-Hsp60, hypertension, and diabetes have joint effects on CHD risk. ME...

BACKGROUND The relationship between congenital heart disease (CHD) and malignancies has not been determined. This study aimed to explore the association of CHD with malignancies and examine the risk factors for the development of cancer after a diagnosis of CHD. PATIENTS AND METHODS This nationwide, population-based cohort study on cancer risk evaluated 31,961 patients with newly diagnosed CH...

Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) is the most common birth defect in world, and patients are more prone to intellectual functioning deficits, developmental issues, academic performance issues. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with coronary heart disease (CHD). While cardiac ADHD symptoms frequently misdiagnosed and, as result, undertreated, t...

OBJECTIVE To examine the validity of estimates of coronary heart disease (CHD) risk by the Framingham risk function, for European populations. DESIGN Comparison of CHD risk estimates for individuals derived from the Framingham, prospective cardiovascular Münster (PROCAM), Dundee, and British regional heart (BRHS) risk functions. SETTING Sheffield Hypertension Clinic. Patients-206 consecutiv...

Coronary heart disease (CHD) associated risk factors and susceptibility genes were studied in parallel for decades, however, the combination of the classic CHD risk factors and genetic risk factors has been rarely studied. Previously; we reported that a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) gene was associated with CHD risk; in addition, we also estab...

OBJECTIVES This study aims to (1) evaluate the probability and timing of termination of pregnancy for fetal anomaly (TOPFA) for all congenital heart defects (CHD) and categories of CHD and (2) assess clinical and socioeconomic predictors of TOPFA for isolated CHD excluding ventricular septal defects (VSD). METHODS Using population-based data from the Paris Registry of Congenital Malformations...

OBJECTIVES To study the associations between hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) and the severity of coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS We retrospectively analyzed metabolic parameters, anthropometric variables, and life style habits in 292 CHD patients of different categories, and 100 controlled non-CHD patients with chest pain symptoms who were hospitalized in the Department of Cardiovascular Me...
