Maternal and neonatal outcomes of women with CHD in pregnancy
… in women with congenital heart disease (CHD), little is known about maternal and neonatal outcomes of these pregnancies in sub-Saharan Africa. This study aimed to describe the maternal and neonatal outcomes as stratified by cyanotic vs. acyanotic CHD, previous surgically repaired vs. …

CHD Chromatin Remodelers Promote Epigenetic Control of Development in Arabidopsis thaliana
… eukaryotic genomes into compact nuclei. The CHD3 family of chromatin remodelers play key roles as epigenetic modifiers and transcriptional regulators in both plants and animals. PKL is a CHD3 remodeler that represses expression of seed genes during germination in Arabidopsis. Unlike animal …

Analysis of CHD Remodelers during Development: A Tale in Two Organisms
… transitions. Here I show how different CHD ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers regulate developmental transitions of different organisms. I show that PICKLE not only promotes H3K27me3 during development to repress developmental genes but also is targeted to these genes. The association of …

The type A behaviour pattern and its associated personality variables in CHD, ulcer, asthma, non-psychosomatic patients and healthy controls
… A behaviour pattern to coronary heart disease (CHD) has been receiving growing attention. To date, however, no studies have examined the type A concept in its relation to other psychosomatic pathology. In the present study, five groups are compared in relation to type A behaviour: CHD, ulcer, …

Influence of systolic blood pressure on ECG ST segment responses in exercise tests of adults without diagnosed CHD [i.e. CAD]
Records from treadmill maximal graded exercise tests (GXTs) for 61 patients from the Virginia Tech Intervention Center were screened for changes in systolic blood pressure. These blood pressure responses were standardized according to exercise demand (ΔSBP/MET) between three different levels of the …

Investigation of Copy Number Variation in South African Patients with Congenital Heart Defects
Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the leading non-infectious cause of paediatric morbidity and mortality worldwide and a significant social and healthcare burden. The aetiology of CHD is poorly understood, though heritable genetic factors including copy number variants (CNVs) have been …

Cardiovascular disease in patients with congenital heart disease
… 95% of children with congenital heart disease (CHD) survive into adulthood and the survival in patients with CHD has increased considerably during the last decades. With increasing age, patients with CHD are at an increased risk of developing acquired cardiovascular disease, such as ischemic …

Investigating the performance of continuous helical displacement piles
The Continuous Helical Displacement (CHD) pile is an auger displacement pile developed by Roger Bullivant Ltd in the UK. The CHD pile is installed in-situ through the use of a drilling auger, in a similar fashion to European screw piles and as such, it has performance characteristics of both …

Expression des 'Vascular endothelial growth factor' bei Kindern mit angeborenem Herzfehler : Einfluss der präoperativen Hypoxämie und der Herzoperation
… with cyanotic congenital heart disease (C-CHD) often develop collateral blood vessels that could be interpreted as a form of abnormal angiogenesis (Starnes et al., 2000). Since vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a potent stimulator of angiogenesis, we examined in this study …

Factors Associated With the Provision of Coronary Heart Disease Preventive CareServices
… and realized access to coronary heart disease (CHD) preventive care. The cross-sectional study is based on a sample of adults age 18-85 from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) who were identified with CHD risk or who had a CHD diagnosis.Variables from the MEPS and the Area Resource File …

Coronary risk factors in women in the United Kingdom
Coronary heart disease (CHD) has traditionally been regarded as a male disease and, because of this, the magnitude of the problem in women is often overlooked. Yet, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CHD in particular, remains, next to cancer, the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in women. …

C - Reactive Protein, Coronary Heart Disease and Ischemic Stroke in the Elderly: The Cardiovascular Health Study
… with increased risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, but much of the research had focused on middle-aged populations with, limited prospective, population-based, longitudinal data. In this study, we examined data from an elderly population and described the distribution of CRP …

Risk factors for coronary heart disease and mediation by socio-economic status : An analysis of the 1995 National Health Survey
… disease in Australia, Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) places a significant burden on society. There are many lifestyle factors that are known to increase the risk of CHD. This study looks at both risk factors and protective factors of CHD. Research also shows CHD prevalence to be predicted by …

Physical activity and depression in people with coronary heart disease
… in people with coronary heart disease (CHD). I conducted three studies to explore this topic. In Study 1, I examined the relationship between PA and depression, over time, in people with CHD. In Study 2, I explored the PA experiences of people with both depression and CHD, and in Study …

Genetic approaches to studying coronary heart disease in SR-BI/apoE double knockout mice
Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major healthcare concern in both developed and developing nations. The principal cause of CHD is atherosclerosis, the buildup of fatty deposits in vessel walls. SR-BI/apoE double knockout (dKO) mice are a novel mouse model of human CHD, exhibiting spontaneous …
