Pharmacological exploration of NLRP3 in Cardiovascular Diseases
… 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 therapies involving NLRP3 inflammasome have a high potential for applicability in the clinical …

Endothelial dysfunction as a pathogenetic factor in cardiovascular diseases
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality around the world. The risk factors and treatments have been thoroughly researched and documented, but one crucial element is endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial dysfunction is defined by the reduction of NO-induced …

Blood pressure, cholesterol and cardiovascular diseases in eastern Asia
… of stroke, coronary heart disease and total cardiovascular death in eastern Asian populations. Therefore, uncertainty also exists about the size of the likely effects on cardiovascular mortality and morbidity of prolonged exposure changes in these populations. The Eastern Stroke and Coronary …

Cardiovascular Diseases Factors in Women Enrolled in the Wisewoman Program
<p>Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is worldwide problem, which has many risk factors including age, gender, race, family history of CVD, hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia, diet and physical activity. WISEWOMAN is a new program in SC, which provides screening and lifestyle interventions to 40-64 …

The Roles of Primary Cilia in Cardiovascular Diseases and Cancer
… cilia are associated with a wide range of diseases, including cancer, ciliopathies polycystic kidney disease (PKD, liver disorders, mental retardation, and obesity to cardiovascular diseases. Dysfunction in endothelial cilia contributes to aberrant fluid-sensing and results in vascular …

Tackling Key Challenges to Guide Clinical Decisions in Cardiovascular Diseases
Machine learning models in healthcare have been widely studied in a number of contexts ranging from clinical risk stratification to image-guided diagnosis and prognostication. Nevertheless, key challenges remain from both clinical and technical perspectives. In the case of prediction models, for …

CELF1, PTBP1, and RBFOX2-mediated alternative splicing regulation in cardiovascular diseases
Alternative splicing (AS) is dysregulated in Type 1 diabetic (T1D) and hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) patient hearts but the mechanisms responsible are unclear. Here, we provide evidence that in these patient’s hearts that dysregulation of the RNA binding proteins (RBPs) CELF1, PTBP1, and …

Cardiovascular diseases, risk factors and cognitive decline in the general population
… to the negative effects of systemic medical diseases and related 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 …

Electronic devices and systems for monitoring of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases
… that 75% of diabetic patients die prematurely of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The absolute risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes is lower than that in patients with type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes, in part because of their younger age and the …

Identifying Observational and Causal Factors for Cardiovascular Diseases through Large-scale Cohorts
… generate new knowledge on risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. While these data sources set in motion the decline in age-adjusted cardiovascular disease seen over the last five decades, they were limited by their size in the kinds of research questions they could answer. Since then, …

Machine learning enhancements for wearable device investigation of acute anxiety and cardiovascular diseases
… silently erode quality of life, chief among them cardiovascular health and anxiety-related disorders. This dissertation advances both fields by developing data-driven methods that move clinical assessment from infrequent clinic visits to continuous, patient-centred monitoring. We address two …

Tobacco use and the risk of cardiovascular diseases in developed and developing countries
… between cigarette smoking and the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is well established. However, the effect of other, less common, types of smoking on CVD risk, such as pipes and cigars in developed countries, remains uncertain. By contrast, in developing countries, a large panel of …

Rural women's perpectives of cardiovascular diseases: A study of Gwanda South Rural District, Zimbabwe
Historically, the cardiovascular disease (CVD) has internationally been viewed as a man’s disease. This is witnessed by the high number of males who have fallen victim to this scourge. However, with rapid changes in today’s societies, the disease has increasingly become a public health concern …

Epidemiology of Cardiovascular Diseases Risk Factors and Hypertension in a Community-Based Suburban Population in Nepal
Background: The epidemiology of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) risk factors and the CVD risk profile, in the Nepalese population is not fully understood. Almost a third of the adult Nepalese population is estimated to be hypertensive, but there is still lack of information on the associations of …

Investigation of relation between the epidemiological factors of cardiovascular diseases and genome in the Lithuanian population /
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the main mortality cause in Lithuania. The Lithuanian CVD mortality rate is nearly two times higher as compared to the old member states of EU and it is possibly due to several reasons: different lifestyle habits and/ or genetic factors. The aim of this study was …

A systematic review examining the effects of mHealth interventions on dietary adherence in patients with cardiovascular diseases
… supporting dietary adherence in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD), a population where nonadherence is common. A comprehensive literature search identified thirteen studies which met inclusion criteria: adults with a CVD diagnosis, use of an mHealth intervention, and measures of dietary …
