Rationale, Design, and Methodological Aspects of the BUDAPEST-GLOBAL Study (Burden of Atherosclerotic Plaques Study in Twins-Genetic Loci and the Burden of Atherosclerotic Lesions)
Abstract The heritability of coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden, coronary geometry, and phenotypes associated with increased cardiometabolic risk are largely unknown. The primary aim of the Burden of Atherosclerotic Plaques Study in Twins-Genetic Loci and the Burden of Atherosclerotic Lesions (BUDAPEST-GLOBAL) study is to evaluate the influence of genetic and environmental factors on the ...

Exercising Coronary Artery Disease patient - Case study
A cyclo-ergometer exercise test was performed on this 57-year old male patient. He is a smoker with a family background of CAD. He is suffering from left bundle branch block making ST-segment analysis impossible. The patient has achieved 78 % of max. heart rate at 120 watts. Moderate paleness and dyspnoea have been observed at the end of the 120 watts step. However, after a normal initial ...

ABILITY Diabetes Global enrolls thousandth patient: A Cardinal Milestone Achieved
ABILITY Diabetes Global (Randomized Comparison of Abluminus DES+ Sirolimus-Eluting Stents versus Everolimus-Eluting Stents in Coronary Artery Disease Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Global) started off with the index patient enrolment on 11th June 2020 in Italy (at the peak of the 1st wave of COVID-19 pandemic) by P.I. Prof. Antonio Colombo and the pace of enrolment since then has been steady and ...

What’s the difference between a heart attack, cardiac arrest and heart failure?
While heart attack, cardiac arrest and heart failure can sometimes be related, they’re actually three very different types of cardiac emergencies. Cardiac arrest, heart attack and heart failure — three terms that are familiar to most people, but often get confused with one another. While there can be some overlap between them in terms of cause and effect, they are actually three ...

The first CRISPR gene editing of vascular endothelium was made possible thanks to nanoparticles
The vascular endothelium is a single layer of endothelial cells that lines the surface of the vascular lumen, and it plays an important role in maintaining vascular homeostasis and tissue fluid balance. Many disorders, such as coronary artery disease, stroke, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and pulmonary hypertension, are caused by endothelial dysfunction. Genome editing in endothelial cells can also ...

Dental Problems Linked To Heart Disease and Diabetes
Dental Problems Linked To Heart Disease and Diabetes Over the last ten years there has been a growing body of evidence linking periodontal disease and systemic diseases. Every day new research is making the link stronger. Periodontal infection is the advanced stages of gum disease that causes bone loss. The bone loss is irreversible. Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease and with early ...

What is heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)?
Overview What is HFpEF? Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a clinical syndrome in which patients have signs and symptoms of HF as the result of high left ventricular (LV) filling pressure, despite normal or near-normal LV ejection fraction (EF). Most patients with HFpEF also display normal LV volumes and an abnormal diastolic filling pattern (i.e, diastolic ...

Cellular and molecular differences between HFpEF and HFrEF
Heart failure affects about 6.2 million Americans and is rising in prevalence. With half of these cases presenting as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), it’s essential for both the medical community and the population at large to have a better understanding of its pathology. [1,2] Knowing the differences between HFpEF and its counterpart, heart failure with reduced ...

3 tips to improve cardiovascular health
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) cause 17 million deaths globally every year, making it the leading cause of death around the world. The cardiovascular system—which includes your heart and blood vessels—distributes oxygen through the body and removes waste. Every cell in the body depends on this process to run smoothly. Your cardiovascular system plays a key role in your overall ...

A Contemporary Review of ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction: Pathophysiology, treatment options and hot topics
Pathophysiology, treatment options and hot topics Improvements In Stemi Treatment The immediate and long-term prognosis of patients experiencing an ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has changed dramatically since the introduction of coronary reperfusion therapies during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). The evolution of these therapies accelerated with the ...

Reduce Readmissions with Analytics & CDC Antibiotic Resistance Program - Case Study
This case study discusses hospital readmissions and provides healthcare professionals with recommended medical algorithms in the form of scores, models, and calculators that can aid in reducing readmissions, especially when related to antibiotic resistant microbiological pathogens. When health analytics, such as the CDC antibiotic resistance program and other algorithms are integrated into ...
