INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Severity of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has been associated with the amount of myocardial fibrosis in autopsy studies. Cardio-vascular magnetic resonance allows, by means of the delayed contrast-enhancement technique, an in vivo detection of focal myocardial fibrosis. Our aim was to study myocardial fibrosis in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy by means of co...

the lipid accumulation product is a novel, safe and inexpensive index of central lipid over accumulation based on waist circumference and fasting concentration of circulating triglycerides. this study was designed to investigate the ability of lipid accumulation product to predict cardio-metabolic risk factors in postmenopausal women. in this cross-sectional study, 264 postmenopausal women by u...

OBJECTIVE Primary objective of this study was to assess utility of sagittal abdominal diameter (SAD) as a cardio vascular risk predictor and compare various anthropometric measurement of body fat distribution in elderly patients. METHOD Four hundred patients were enrolled in study. Elderly patients more than 60 year of age attending medical OPD, geriatric OPD and suitable indoor patients who ...

Background Cardio-vascular pathology is widespread in the North. It is more severe and hard than in moderate latitudes. There are little data available describing reactions of cardio-vascular system to changes of climatic, meteorological and helio-geophysical factors and their role in the development of the disease. The purpose of our study was to study the role of pathological reacting to clim...

• To demonstrate the importance of cardio-vascular diseases (CVD) in morbidity and mortality in the world; • To review the major risk factors for CVD; • To give an overview on the importance of lifestyle components, particularly diet, in the modification of different risk factors, and in the prevention of CVD; • To review the mechanisms through which nutrition may affect CVD; • To provide globa...
