background: dietary risk factors constitute some of the leading risk factors for cardiovascular disease in iran. the current study reports the burden of ischemic heart disease (ihd) attributable to a low omega-3 fatty acids intake in iran using the data of the global burden of disease (gbd) study 2010. methods: we used data on iran for the years 1990, 2005, and 2010 derived from the gbd study c...

conclusions the effect of diabetes mellitus on stroke was more significant than on ihd, and the effect of high ldl-c level was more significant on ihd than on stroke, other risk factors, including hypertension, have similar rrs for ihd and stroke. health care professionals need more training regarding the rrs of these risk factors in the iranian society, and health decision makers should consid...

The Role of Uric Acid to HDL Cholesterol Ratio in Predicting Myocardial Ischemia Perfusion Scintigraphy Diabetic Patients
 Abstract
 Objective: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, particularly myocardial ischemia. Both diabetes mellitus type 2 and conditions are characterized by high burden inflammation. uric High-Density Lipoprotein choles...

objectives the link between dietary fat and heart disease has been established for decades. although, the atherogenic effect of saturated fatty acids is somehow controversial, the cardioprotective effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufa) are clearly documented. this study investigated the effects of different dietary oils on serum fatty acid composition in rat. methods six week male wistar...

The rate of cardiac fatty acid oxidation is regulated by the activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase-I (CPT-I), which is inhibited by malonyl-CoA. We tested the hypothesis that the activity of the enzyme responsible for malonyl-CoA degradation, malonyl-CoA decarboxlyase (MCD), regulates myocardial malonyl-CoA content and the rate of fatty acid oxidation during demand-induced ischemia in vivo...

polyunsaturated fatty acids (pufas) particularly ω-3 pufas showed great assure in prevention of cardiovascular diseases (cvd). the evidence for cv benefits of pufa comes from eicosapentaenoic acid (epa) with or without docosahexaenoic acid (dha) in primary prevention, after myocardial infarction (mi), with heart failure (hf). the epidemiologic studies and trials showing the benefits of pufa, sp...

etabolic adaptation likely represents one of the earliest esponses to myocardial ischemia. The myocardium preferntially oxidizes free fatty acids for energy production. owever, the dependency of fatty acid metabolism on xygen makes this process particularly vulnerable to ischeia. Under hypoxemic or ischemic conditions, the energy equirements of the myocardium are met by glucose rather han free ...

Cinnamon from the bark of Cinnamomum species is one most important spices used worldwide in food and as a traditional medicine for centuries. It has substantial benefits human health including its protective role on cardiovascular diseases. This review provides an overview effects cinnamon major bioactive constituents. Reviewed literature showed sufficient evidence that can reduce risk diseases...

PURPOSE We studied the effect of myocardial ischemia and diabetes mellitus (DM) on the myocardial fatty acid metabolism using 123I-BMIPP myocardial scintigraphy. METHODS We performed 123I-BMIPP myocardial scintigraphy in 50 patients with myocardial ischemia and without DM (AP), in 30 patients with myocardial ischemia and DM (AP + DM), 12 patients with DM and without myocardial ischemia (DM), ...
