In Canada, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality. In 1990, CVD killed 36,266 Canadian women. This represents 41 percent of deaths in women and is greater than all deaths due to cancer.' On average, Canadian women outlive men by seven years. During this period, CVD is second only to joint and bone dise'ase in limiting activities and reducing the autonomy of these women.2...

Background World Health Organization/International Society of Hypertension (WHO/ISH) charts have been employed to predict the risk of cardiovascular outcome in heterogeneous settings. The aim of this research is to assess the prevalence of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) risk factors and to estimate the cardiovascular risk among adults aged >40 years, utilizing the risk charts alone, and by the ad...

INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the primary causes increased mortality rate universally. Therefore, automated methods for early prediction CVD are utmost importance to prevent disease.
 OBJECTIVES: In this study, we have pointed out major advantages, drawbacks, and scope enhancing accuracy existing cardiovascular methods. addition that, analyzed various combinations at...

The role of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as a potential independent cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor has recently gained considerable attention because CVD is the common cause of death in NAFLD patients. We aimed to estimate the effects of vitamin D supplementation alone or in combination with calcium on atherogenic indices, liver function tests and grade of disease in pati...

The purpose of this review is to explain cardiovascular problems and different risk factors that lead to cardiovascular disease (CVD). Moreover, the possible mechanisms that lead to accelerated atherogenesis in DM are also discussed. According to ATP III guidelines Diabetes Mellitus is considered to be a coronary heart disease (CHD) equivalent. From cardiovascular medicine aspect, it may be app...

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are at increased risk for failure, cardiovascular (CVD), and death. In fact, the likelihood of dying from CVD is markedly higher than that reaching end-stage renal disease. Evidence-based management comorbidities such as remains challenging in patients advanced CKD, they were usually excluded randomized controlled trials. This review focuses on epidemi...

OBJECTIVE Clinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) is highly prevalent among people with diabetes. However, there is little information regarding the prevalence of subclinical CVD and its relation to clinical CVD in diabetes and in the glucose disorders that precede diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study, aged > or = 65 years (n = 5,888), underwent ...

Previously diagnosed diabetes mellitus, newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus, and impaired glucose tolerance are important determinants of the risk of clinical cardiovascular disease (CVD). We have evaluated the relation of patients with subclinical CVD, diabetes, and impaired glucose tolerance and "normal" subjects and the risk of clinical CVD in the Cardiovascular Health Study. Diabetes (1343), ...
