Relationship Between Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Atherosclerotic Disease Burden Measured by Intravascular Ultrasound

Relationship Between Lipid Profile and Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Lumbar Degenerative Disease in Adult Surgical Candidates

Background and Aim: There is no research consensus on the relationship between lipid profiles, atherosclerosis risk factors, and lumbar disc degeneration. The present study examined the relationship between lipid profile and some risk factors of cardiovascular diseases and lumbar disc degeneration in patients undergoing surgery. Methods and Materials/Patients: The study was conducted on ...

The relationship between cardiovascular disease risk factors and gender

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between three socioeconomic statuses and five behavior-related cardiovascular risk factors by gender, based on data from the Third Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination III. Data from 4556 people were analyzed. The propensity toward obesity, hypercholesterolemia, and physical inactivity was significantly higher in women tha...

Relationship Between Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Periodontal Disease: Current Knowledge

Relationship between cardiovascular risk as predicted by established risk scores versus plaque progression as measured by serial intravascular ultrasound in left main coronary arteries.

BACKGROUND Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is increasingly used as an end point in studies aimed at reducing progression or inducing regression of coronary artery disease. However, data linking serial changes by IVUS with clinical outcomes are scarce. METHODS AND RESULTS In the absence of a validated risk score for secondary prevention, we compared 3 established risk scores for primary preven...

Knowledge and Attitude on Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors and Their Relationship with Obesity and Biochemical Parameters

Background: According to the high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in developing countries as well as high treatment expenses for patients and health-care systems, CVDs prevention in such societies has a great importance. One of the most effective strategies is improvement of knowledge and attitude towards the CVDs risk factors. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge and attitud...
