coronary artery disease is one of the most common reasons of death around the world. also, according to previous studies, the incidence of coronary artery disease is rapidly increasing in developing countries such as iran. the aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and practice of pharmaceutical company workers towards the prevention of cardiovascular disease. in this cross sectional s...

conclusions based on the findings, participants had average levels of overall qol. some domains showed the need to improve qol of women with cad. results of the present study revealed the necessity of designing and performing educational and supportive interventions to improve the qol in women with cad, especially among patients with low socio-economic status. results the mean score of overall ...

women die of cardiovascular disorders even more than a combination of breast cancer, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung cancer. recent data show that while 1 out of 2.6 women die of coronary artery disease (cad), only 1 out of 4.6 die from cancer. whereas some studies show an increase in the age-adjusted mortality of cad in both women and men, some other studies report an i...

abstract   background: recently, small dense low density lipoprotein (sdldl) has been highlighted as a new risk factor for the coronary artery disease (cad).small dense ldls are believed to be atherogenic since these particles are taken up more easily by arterial wall. they are readily oxidized and have reduced affinity for low density lipoprotein (ldl) receptor and increased affinity for arter...

abstract background: one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease is hypertension. 1 billion people in the world and 25–35% of the adult population in iran suffer from hypertension. despite the emphasis on medicational treatments, non‑medicational treatments and modification of lifestyle, including physical activity and exercise, are important for the control and treatment ...

background coronary artery disease (cad) is one of the major causes of death worldwide. there is a direct relationship between increased levels of blood cholesterol, triglycerides (tg), low density lipoproteins (ldl), high density lipoproteins (hdl), nitric oxide (no), and high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-crp) and the cad. walnut may reduce these factors and consequently decrease the ris...

The acute occlusion of a coronary artery without the evidence of myocardial infarction might immediately affect both the diagnosis and treatment of coronary artery disease. We present the case with a sudden occlusion of the left main coronary artery without typical chest pain following an exercise tolerance test and rapid spontaneous reperfusion of the left main coronary artery.

psychological problems play a critical role in development of cardiovascular disease. several mechanisms were suggested to explain the association and mechanism of this effect, recently. knowledge of the mechanisms mediating the association between psychological status and heart disease could help in developing treatments. the effects of mind and mood on the cardiovascular system can be due to ...

materials and methods in this case-control study, using the polymerase chain reaction (pcr), adrs266729 and rs2241766 gene polymorphisms were genotyped in b-type ultrasonography-proven nafld patients, with (n = 246) or without (n = 247) cad and in healthy controls (n = 304). serum lipid profiles were determined using biochemical methods. statistical analyses were performed using spss 17.0 stati...
