Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide and associated with increased morbidity mortality by COVID-19. Lifestyle Medicine immersion programs consist a residential internship that performs multidisciplinary professional follow-up. Objective: To evaluate effect lifestyle medicine program on risk factors for cardiovascular disease: weight, blood pressure glyc...

Objective: Cardiovascular disease is a series of diseases with high morbidity, fatality rate, rapid changes in condition, and it highly prone to emergencies severe illnesses, the primary that leads death patients. The modified early warning score (MEWS) lacks specialized indicators can’t personalize risk prediction for cardiovascular Explore establishment scoring system suitable evaluating cond...

background : in recent years, due to its distinct geographical circumstances and position in a gorge, and accumulation of pollutants in surface air, isfahan, iran has become one of the most polluted cities in the iran in terms of air pollution. the purpose of this study was to estimate cardiovascular and respiratory diseases attributed to particulate matter of less than 10 microns (pm 10 ) in i...

objectives this study tried to codify the recommendations of iranian traditional medicine (itm) by studying the main medical manuscripts. the second purpose was to compare these findings with new medical information. materials and methods cardinal traditional medical and pharmacological texts from 10th to 18th century were searched for traditional terms of dementia (nesyan, fisad-uz-zekr, faram...

With aging of the US population and continued success in prolonging survival of patients with cardiovascular disease, the prevalence of cardiovascular disease will increase exponentially in the next several decades.1 The anticipated supply of cardiovascular specialists will be insufficient to meet the demands of this increasing disease burden. A shortage already exists of cardiologists as a who...

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) plays a significant role in many aspects of healthcare worldwide, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). This review describes some of the challenges of CAM in terms of scientific research. Biologically-based therapies, mind-body therapies, manipulative and body-based therapies, whole medical systems, and energy medicine are reviewed in detail with ...

background world health organization/international society of hypertension (who/ish) charts have been employed to predict the risk of cardiovascular outcome in heterogeneous settings. the aim of this research is to assess the prevalence of cardiovascular disease (cvd) risk factors and to estimate the cardiovascular risk among adults aged >40 years, utilizing the risk charts alone, and by the ad...

One of the air pollutant indices includes particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter less than or equal to 10 μg/m3 (PM10). Particulate matter has extensive effects on the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. Dissemination of such particles for a longer period can lead to increased mortality and hospitalization. In this study, the data of PM10 pollutant wer...
