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...

Major advances in genetics, including the sequencing of the human genome in 20011,2 and the publication of the HapMap in 2005,3 have paved the way for a revolution in our understanding of the genetics of complex diseases, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). After years of inconsistent results and failure to replicate putative candidate gene associations, high-throughput technologies (which ...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD), such as coronary heart disease (CHD), is the most frequent cause of death worldwide, especially in developed countries. The latest recommendations of European and American Cardiological Associations emphasize the role of non-HDL cholesterol (non-HDL-C) in evaluating the risk of CVD. Although this parameter has a lot of advantages, it is rarely used by general pract...

INTRODUCTION Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention guidelines recommend lifetime risk stratification for primary prevention of CVD, but no such risk stratification has been performed in India to date. METHODS The authors estimated short-term and lifetime predicted CVD risk among 10,054 disease-free, adult Indians in the 20-69-year age group who participated in a nationwide risk factor surve...

OBJECTIVES To assess the potential for using mHealth in cardiovascular disease (CVD) management in Kerala by exploring: (1) experiences and challenges of current CVD management; (2) current mobile phone use; (3) expectations of and barriers to mobile phone use in CVD management. DESIGN Qualitative, semistructured, individual interviews. SETTING 5 primary health centres in Ernakulam district...

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States as well as in other highly developed countries. It is also the leading cause of death in people with diabetes, a disease becoming rapidly more prevalent. This article reviews a series of clinical trials showing the benefits of lipid-lowering agents in reducing CVD risk. It also provides a review of the recent treatm...
