The relationship between the hardness of potable water and cardiovascular and ischaemic heart disease mortality in South African urban areas
… disease (CVD) or ischaemic heart disease (IHD), and the hardness of local water supplies, a phenomenon which is known as the "water story". These findings have not, however, been universal and it was decided that a study carried out in South Africa with its high CVD and IHD death rates, …

Dysfunctional but viable myocardium - ischemic heart disease assessed by magnetic resonance imaging and single photon emission computed tomography
The assessment of ischemic heart disease (IHD) often focuses on the detection of dysfunctional but viable myocardium which may improve in function following revascularization. Dysfunctional but viable myocardium is identified by distinct characteristics with regards to function, perfusion and …

A Design, Development, and Evaluation of Bio-Patch for Myocardial Tissue Repair
<p>Introduction. Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is a major concern of human health issue. The structural repair and functional recovery of injured hearts is a major challenge in the clinical setting. Preclinical studies over last 10 years have demonstrated the potential of using stem cells to treat …

Risk of depression and cardiovascular disease across the lifespan: the role of systemic inflammation.
… with depression and ischaemic heart disease (IHD), as well as comorbid depression and IHD. I also showed evidence of specific association between WCC and IHD. These findings suggest that systemic inflammation is likely to be a shared mechanism for depression and IHD, but the risk of each …

Regulation of plasma triglyceride metabolism : some nutritional and endocrine effects
… and lipoproteins, and ischaemic heart disease (IHD). Despite many years of study iri this field, the nature of this association is still poorly understood. The exact mechanism whereby plasma lipids and lipoproteins influence the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis still remains to be elucidated.

Vascular Endothelin and Angiotensin Receptors Regulation in Inflammatory Arterial Disorders
… different degrees of ischemic heart disease (IHD). In addition, patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) were also investigated because of the massive inflammatory activity in affected vessels. For functional studies of the resistance arteries, sensitive myographs were used. Receptor protein …

Clinical characteristics, causes, adherence to heart failure treatment guidelines and mortality of patients with acute heart failure: the Groote Schuur Hospital experience
… cardiomyopathy (20.2%), ischaemic heart disease (IHD) (19.3%) and rheumatic valvular heart disease (RHD) (18.5%). Most patients received renin-angiotensin system blockers and loop diuretics on discharge. There was a low rate of β-blocker, aldosterone antagonist and digoxin use. Rehospitalisation …

Characterisation of cardiac cellular and vascular function in Ischemic heart disease
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is the most common cause of death across the globe, of which globalmortality rates are projected to continue rising into the future. Therapies used to treat the mostchronic cases of IHD are focused on the revascularisation of the ischemic region and the …

The role of the arterial glycocalyx in sphingosine-1- phosphate induced cardioprotection in the isolated heart of the Wistar rat
Background: Ischemic heart diseases (IHD) are a leading cause of death among cardiovascular diseases. Unfortunately, the myocardial damage due to ischemia in IHD may be worsened by reperfusion therapy, a phenomenon called ischemic-reperfusion (I/R) injury. Coronary vascular damage is a key feature …
