Abstract Introduction: The use of medicinal plants (MP) is increasing among the general population and patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Simultaneous use of MP and cardiac medications can cause drug interactions and serious complications. Objective: This study aimed to determine the frequency of MP use and its related factors among patients with CVD. Materials and Methods: This c...

compelling evidence suggests that the oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (cvd). superoxide dismutase (sod) enzymes play a major role in detoxification of reactive oxygen species and protection against oxidative stress. we examined the possible association between a 50-bp insertion/deletion in the sod1 promoter 1684-bp upstream of the sod1 atg with...

background: according to the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (cvd) in developing countries as well as high treatment expenses for patients and health-care systems, cvd prevention in such societies has a great importance. one of the most effective strategies is improvement of knowledge and attitude towards the cvd risk factors. this study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitude o...

Background: The superiority of TG/HDL-C and LDL-C/HDL-C ratios in predicting  CVD risk is a matter of debates. Thus, the objective of this study was to compare TG/HDL-C and LDL-C to HDL-C ratios in predicting the risk of CVD events. Methods: In a population-based cross-sectional study, 567 representative participants aged 40 years or older were entered in the study in Babol, North of Iran. The...

Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) is one of the most popular methods for producing Carbon Nanotubes (CNTs). The growth rate of CNTs based on CVD technique is investigated by using a numerical model based on finite volume method. Inlet gas mixture, including xylene as carbon source and mixture of argon and hydrogen as carrier gas enters into a horizontal CVD reactor at atmospheric pressure. In thi...

background: metabolic syndrome (ms) is the syndrome closely related to cardiovascular disease (cvd) risk factors. few prospective studies have compared the impact of dynamic changes of ms on the development of cardiovascular diseases (cvd). methods: overall, 3461 subjects were recruited from a cohort study on prevention of multiple metabolic disorders and ms in jiangsu of china (pmmjs) with a f...

to report the association of pulp calcification with that of cardiovascular disease (cvd) using digital panoramic dental radiographs.digital panoramic radiographs of patients referred from the angiography department were included if the patient was under 55 years old and had non-restored or minimally restored molars and canines. an oral and maxillofacial radiologist evaluated the images for pul...
