Healthcare worker's adherence to the use of adult primary care guidelines in management of cardiovascular disease in the North-West Province
Introduction: Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs) are heart conditions characterized by diseased vessels, structural issues, and blood clots. In this country, Standard Treatment Guidelines are issued to help healthcare workers with diagnosis and management. Given the destructive effects of CVDs, the …

Pharmacological exploration of NLRP3 in Cardiovascular Diseases
… inflammasome plays a clear role in different CVDs; however, because the aetiology, pathological characteristics, onset, and offset of these diseases are different, the inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasome and related pathways could be a convergent strategy for the treatments of many CVDs. Such …

Design of a mobile kit for cardiovascular disease screening in resource constrained environments
… in particular Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs). In countries that are making this epidemiological transition, such as India, chronic diseases are also a hindrance to economic health as a large portion of deaths occur when people are still active in the work force. There are various …

EVALUATION OF YAK-KONG SOYBEAN (GLYCINE MAX) FOR ITS PHENOLICS AND METABOLITES WITH A FOCUS ON ATHEROSCLEROSIS PREVENTION
… diseases especially cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) which have been the number one cause of death in globe. Soybean (Glycine max) has been supported by significant scientific evidence particularly on the risk reduction of CVDs. With the aim of seeking a competitive functional soybean …

The Direct Impact of Trimethelamine-N-Oxide on Cardiac Function
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death and disability worldwide. The aging population and the rapidly increasing prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes will contribute to a growing epidemic of CVDs globally. Despite the extensive investigations in etiology, the …

Effects of APOA1/C3/A4/A5 Gene Cluster and Flavonoids Intake on Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors in U.S. Populations
… gene cluster on the risks of CVDs and the interaction between these genes and flavonoids consumption. We used data from NHANES III to fulfill our aims. We calculated individual, subclasses and total flavonoid intakes. We received special permission from CDC and remotely …

Theranostic nanoparticles for the management of inflammatory diseases and conditions
… is the main cause of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). The World Health Organization reports that CVDs are the number one cause of death in the world. In the United States alone, around 85 million people suffer from CVDs; this is associated with a cost of over $316 billion per year and …

Differential Expression Of Proteins Involved In VLDL Trafficking Causes Reduced VLDL Secretion In Male Ames Dwarf Mice
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) have been recorded as the number one cause of death worldwide, accounting for 32% of total deaths annually. More than two-thirds of all CVD cases are associated with atherosclerosis, which is the accumulation of fats and other substances causing plaque formation in …

Rural women's perpectives of cardiovascular diseases: A study of Gwanda South Rural District, Zimbabwe
… that women had limited knowledge of most CVDs but were familiar with hypertension and stroke. Various symptoms of CVD were identified. It was concluded that rural women do not have adequate knowledge of CVDs. A lot should be done by the government and other stakeholders to ameliorate …

The Role of FGF Signaling in the Regulation of Adult Murine Cardiomyocyte Contractility and Pathologic Hypertrophy
<p>Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs ) have been the leading cause of death in the United States for decades. They cause significant strain on the heart, resulting in an ongoing remodeling process that initially maintains cardiac function, but ultimately becomes maladaptive. The signaling pathways that …

Cardiovascular diseases, risk factors and cognitive decline in the general population
… factors, including cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and vascular risk factors. Cognitive decline has been an understudied outcome in cardiovascular epidemiological research. Few reports have comprehensively examined cognitive function in relation to clinical manifestations of systemic …

The Cardioprotective effect of a Lanosteryl Triterpene from Protorhus Longifolia on H9c2 Cardiomyoblasts
… predisposing factor of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Globally, CVDs are the prominent cause of death in both diabetic and nondiabetic individuals. In an effort to fight the disease burden, more researchers are looking into natural-products as adjunctive therapies to use with the current …

Development of novel optical sensing-based digital stethoscopes and deep learning-based heart sound denoising algorithms
… method for diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), such as valvular heart diseases, heart failure, and congenital heart defects (CHD). Digitally recording heart sounds as PCGs also paves the way for automated or AI-assisted diagnosis of CVDs. A literature review is conducted, including the …

Effect of microstructure on mechanical behaviour of arterial tissue
… annual deaths caused by cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), aortic aneurysms (AAs) and aortic dissections (ADs) is more than from any other cause. Most CVDs are a result of atherosclerosis, in which a fibrous cap covered lipid-rich plaque is formed in the arteries. The fibrous cap can rupture, …

Prediction of Coronary Atherosclerosis Development: A Study Based on the Combination of Mechanomics and Radiomics
… is the precursor to cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), the leading cause of death and disability globally. Coronary artery disease (CAD) from atherosclerosis significantly contributes to CVDs. Despite their primary role in delivering oxygenated blood to the myocardium, the anatomical development …

Improving Coronary Artery Disease Diagnostics with Massively Parallel, Personalized Flow Models and Immersive Treatment Planning.
<p>Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for more than 17 million deaths per year, a number that is expected to double by 2030. Atherosclerosis is the most common manifestation of CVDs, affecting large and medium-sized blood vessels such as coronary …

Developing a low-cost cardiovascular mobile screening kit
… of arterial stiffening, the root issue of many CVDs. Since pulse wave velocity (PWV) and pulse wave analysis (PWA) features were known to be correlated with arterial stiffening, we developed a Python API that would extract these features from the pulse waveforms collected using the devices in …

Effectiveness of digital education approaches to improve knowledge, attitude, and practice towards salt intake in a sample of UAE population
… total deaths due to Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) recorded are ranged 24-46 % in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. High blood pressure (≥ 130/80 mmHg), is considered one of the major risk factors for CVDs and salt reduction is an effective strategy to prevent adverse risk. This …
