Serum cholesterol values are markedly lower in Korea than in Belgium in both males and females. This is attributed to the much lower consumption of saturated fat in Korea. A mean population serum cholesterol value of about 160 mg/dl appears to be compatible with excellent general health and with the absence of ischemic heart disease or other atheromatous diseases. The influence of age, height a...

Cardiovascular diseases are common in systemic rheumatologic diseases. They can be presented at the time of diagnosis or after diagnosis. The cardiac involvements can be the first presentation of rheumatologic conditions. It means that a patient with rheumatologic disease may go to a cardiologist when attacked by this disease at first.

Cardio-vascular diseases are the major cause of mortality, with ischemic cardiac disease as the major form, followed by stroke. Each of these diseases accounts for some 15 million deaths per year, representing 30% of the total number of death. The highest mortality is registered in the countries of former USSR and those of Eastern Europe. France and Japan had the lowest rate of mortality by isc...

Heart failure is one of the most frequent and deadly diseases that clinicians have to deal with in clinical practice.1 Between 1% and 2% of the population aged over 40 have heart failure and rises to 10% in those over 60-70 years old.
