The rise in the prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and an increase in the prevalence of obesity in parallel in the recent years is a great concern. CKD increases the rate of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and development of end-stage renal disease, and leads to premature death. Although no direct causality link between obesity and CKD can yet be established, this appears highly probable. ...

Hypertension is not an infectious disease but one of the causes premature death worldwide. The effort in hypertension control done through self-management or change lifestyle patients, such as dieting, resting, exercising, and taking medication regularly (hypertension cannot be cured can controlled). Utilizing health literacies increase one’s ability to understand maintain attitudes toward cari...

background pulmonary artery hypertension is the presentation of various types of cardiovascular and systematic diseases. there are different kinds of noninvasive methods to determine right ventricular function, pulmonary artery pressure, and effect of pulmonary hypertension on right ventricular function. these methods include the tissue doppler imaging (tdi) of the tricuspid annulus and the lon...
