Background During cardiovascular interventions it is critical to have high-fidelity hemodynamic recordings of physiologic signals for patient safety and procedure guidance. MRI compatible monitoring systems are low-fidelity and not suitable for cardiovascular interventions. We present an MRI compatible hemodynamic recording system designed for MRI guided cardiovascular interventions. It is capa...

Gestation is a period of significant physiological changes that can severely affect the function of many systems, including the cardiovascular. The deviation from the standard that occurs during pregnancy may cause the deterioration of pre-existent cardiovascular diseases or the appearance of new ones. In this review we will present the most common congenital and acquired cardiovascular disease...

Cardiovascular disease is one of the main burdens of healthcare systems worldwide. Nevertheless, assessing cardiovascular risk in both apparently healthy individuals and low/high-risk patients remains a difficult issue. Already established biomarkers (e.g. brain natriuretic peptide, troponin) have significantly improved the assessment of major cardiovascular events and diseases but cannot be ap...

In this second part of a 2-part series on the global burden of cardiovascular disease, we review the proven, effective approaches to the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease. We specifically review the management of acute cardiovascular diseases, including acute coronary syndromes and stroke; the care of cardiovascular disease in the ambulatory setting, including medical strategie...

high blood pressure control (hbpc) is a common goal of who and the world hypertension league (whl). the two important strategies in hbpc are identifying cardiovascular (cvd) risk factors and planning to modify controllable factors. this study was accomplished to determine the cvd risk factors in high blood pressure (hbp) patients of the rural population, residing in the babol region, north of i...

conclusions it seems that usage of ecg rating systems such as sss at the time of admission, in addition to showing the extent of the conflict in the myocardium, can provide valuable information about prognosis, severity of myocardial damage and ventricular function in hospitalized patients. background ischemic heart disease is among the most important causes of mortality. therefore, classificat...

cardiovascular disease has become the main factor of death and birth defects in the world. there are some therapeutic structures and drugs for curative and palliative therapy of the disease, but to the aim of accessing reliable therapy or to postpone onset of disease, especially for individuals with heritable coronary artery disease in their pedigree genetic engineering technologies are making ...

introduction: glucose, cholesterol, low density lipoprotein (ldl-c), triglyceride, and high density lipoprotein (hdl-c) are the related biochemical factors to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. the present study aimed to assess the seasonal changes in serum levels of these factors in healthy individuals. materials and methods: in the present applied study, demographic information and written...

conclusions independent variables such as sex, age, hdl-c, sys-bp, bmi, smoking, cholesterol and hs-crp were considered as influencing variables, and education, marital status, disease history, height, waist circumference, diastolic blood pressure and low density lipoprotein were removed from the models. background cardiovascular disease is considered as one of the most common diseases, causing...
