متن کاملTHE ROLE OF BEHAVIOR PATTERN AND EMOTIONAL RISK FACTORS IN CORONARY HEART DISEASE
For evaluating the role of behavior pattern and emotional factors in coronary heart disease (CHD), 86 patients were followed for one to three years (average 20 months). The behavior pattern itself was not considered as a main risk factor, rather it was found to be an aggravating and predisposing factor, especially in morbidity rate. Both behavior patterns were more common in males than in ...
متن کاملUsing Combined Descriptive and Predictive Methods of Data Mining for Coronary Artery Disease Prediction: a Case Study Approach
Heart disease is one of the major causes of morbidity in the world. Currently, large proportions of healthcare data are not processed properly, thus, failing to be effectively used for decision making purposes. The risk of heart disease may be predicted via investigation of heart disease risk factors coupled with data mining knowledge. This paper presents a model developed using combined descri...
متن کاملPASSIVE SMOKING AND THE RISK OF CORONARY HEART DISEASE AMONG MARRIED NON-SMOKING WOMEN
Several epidemiological studies have reported that passive smoking (PS) is a public health hazard and perhaps increases the risk of heart disease. This study evaluated the relationship between female coronary heart disease and PS among married women who described themselves as non-smokers in an area of south-east Iran. Using household exposure to tobacco smoke as an estimate of PS, a hospi...
