Cardiovascular disease (CVD) encompasses several diseases: atherosclerotic CVD (including coronary heart disease [CHD], peripheral arterial disease [PAD], and ischemic stroke), hemorrhagic stroke, congestive heart failure, hypertension, rheumatic heart disease, and congenital heart defects. This article will focus on reviewing the evidence relating periodontal disease and CVD arising from ather...

background: clopidogrel is a standout amongst the most ordinarily recommended medications to avoid ischemic occasions taking after coronary disorder or stant position. however, impaired responses the therapy as well as resistance to the therapy have also been reported. genetic variants play an important role in clopidogrel biotransformation of its active metabolite that may subsequently influen...

background: although the issue of hyperuricemia as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (cvd) has been disputed, sev­eral studies have shown an association between hyperuricemia and   several cvd risk factors. the aim of this study was to assess distribution of uric acid level in yazd city, center of iran, and its association with cvd risk factors. methods: from autumn 2004 to summer 2005,...

The prevalence of obesity was worldwide increase in the last 60 years. Obesity represented one public health problems, it markedly increased incidence many diseases: fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, ischemic heart diseases, sleep apnea, osteoporosis, dementia, tumors and other disorders. Recent reviews showed that medicinal plants possesses anti-obesity effect. In current review, Pub...

preconditioning (pc), is an approach to improve therapeutic potential of stem cells against ischemic environment. pc has several advantages over other therapeutic techniques as this results in increase of transplanted stem cells recruitment, retention, survival and subsequently the induction of a more supportive environment within the damaged tissue via secretion of angiogenic factors. special ...

BACKGROUND The long-term downward national U.S. trend in heart disease-related mortality slowed substantially during 2011-2014 before turning upward in 2015. Examining mortality trends in the major subgroups of heart disease may provide insight into potentially more targeted and effective prevention and treatment approaches to promote favorable trajectories. We examined national trends between ...

background: clopidogrel is one of the most commonly prescribed drugs to prevent ischemic events following coronary syndromes or stent placement. however, impaired responses to therapy as well as resistance are also reported. genetic variants play an important role in clopidogrel biotransformation to its active metabolite that may subsequently influence the clopidogrel antiplatelet effect. the o...
