Mortality from ischaemic heart disease--association with weather.
There is evidence to suggest that mortality from ischaemic heart disease is associated with social class, water hardness, rainfall, and temperature. In a comparison of 61 county boroughs, Gardner, Crawford, and Morris (1969) investigated the relationship between cardiovascular mortality and 80 environmental indices which they reduced to five principal components-social factor score, domestic ai...
متن کاملMetabolomics and ischaemic heart disease.
Ischaemic heart disease accounts for nearly half of the global cardiovascular disease burden. Aetiologies relating to heart disease are complex, but dyslipidaemia, oxidative stress and inflammation are cardinal features. Despite preventative measures and advancements in treatment regimens with lipid-lowering agents, the high prevalence of heart disease and the residual risk of recurrent events ...
متن کاملThrombosis and ischaemic heart disease.
The overwhelming dominance of the lipid hypothesis for atheroma has obscured the compelling evidence-some of it of many years standing' but some that is more recent2 3 -that both platelets and the coagulation system also contribute to the lesion. There is much epidemiological evidence4 5 of some other process besides atherogenesis to account for the clinical manifestations of coronary artery di...
متن کاملIschaemic heart disease.
There can be no truly objective frequency estimate of the susceptibility of the population to ischaemic heart disease: everybody has some degree of susceptibility. The disease kills 1 in 4 of the population, and 1 man in 10 dies of ischaemic heart disease before 65 years of age. The major burden is mortality, though there is often some degree of impairment among survivors of acute attacks. It i...
متن کاملCold spells and ischaemic sudden cardiac death: effect modification by prior diagnosis of ischaemic heart disease and cardioprotective medication
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the leading cause of death. The current paradigm in SCD requires the presence of an abnormal myocardial substrate and an internal or external transient factor that triggers cardiac arrest. Based on prior mechanistic evidence, we hypothesized that an unusually cold weather event (a cold spell) could act as an external factor triggering SCD. We tested potential effec...
