Spatial analysis of ischemic heart disease in Manitoba
Introduction: Chronic diseases rarely follow uniform distributions throughout geographical space and so identifying regions that have frequent occurrences or elevated prevalences is important. The disease of interest for this research project was ischemic heart disease (IHD). Objectives: The …

Quality of life and ethics-patients with ischemic heart disease
One month and one year after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) (n=296), coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) (n=99) and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) (n=18) patients completed a questionnaire for self-assessment of quality of life (QoL) during the period 1989?1991. Patients differed …

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 …

Non-invasive Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Patients with Ischemic Heart Disease
Cardiovascular disease remains a significant cause of premature death and disability in developing nations, with an increasing need for early and accurate diagnosis to limit downstream adverse events. By exploiting intracapillary deoxygenated haemoglobin to generate its signal, …

The Role of Complement in Ischemic Heart Disease in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
… (I/R) injury observed in the T2DM heart are unclear. I/R is associated with an acute inflammatory response recognized by reactive oxidant production, complement activation, and leukocyte-endothelial cell adhesion, among others. Complement activation plays an important role in the …

Effect of Angina Under-recognition on Treatment Escalation in Outpatients with Stable Ischemic Heart Disease
… of outpatients with chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) report having angina in the prior month, which is frequently under-recognized by their cardiologists. Whether under-recognition is associated with less treatment escalation to control angina, and potential underuse of treatment, is …

The Relationship among the knowledge, anxiety and sick role behavior on patient with ischemic heart disease
"본 연구는 증가추세에 있는 허혈성심질환자의 질병과 관련된 지식정도와 불안정도, 환자의 역할행위 이행에 미치는 관계를 규명하여 허혈성심질환자에게 보다 효과적인 개별화된 간호를 제공하기 위한 간호중재 개발의 기초 자료를 제공하고자 한다. 연구대상은 경기도 S시에 소재한 A대학 병원에서 허혈성심장질환을 진단받은 환자 100명을 대상으로 2008년 5월 19일부터 8월 30일까지 서술적 상관관계연구를 실시하였다. 연구도구는 김남희(2003)의 허혈성심질환자의 질병관련 지식 측정도구와 김정택과 신동균(1978)의 불안측정도구, …

Hyperventilation and ECG components used in exercise for diagnosis of ischemic heart disease in healthy females
… has been reported to cause false-positive ischemic shifts in the ST-segment of the electrocardiogram during exercise. These responses have been observed to occur at a higher incidence in females than males. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the performance …

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 …

Psychosocial and Behavioral Characteristics of Ischemic Heart Disease Patients: Their Measurement and Relationship to Adherence in an Intensive Nutrition Education Program
… today. Attempts to prevent and control chronic disease, including the development and progression of cardiovascular disease, are only effective when recommendations to the patient are carried out. Few studies have systematically studied the relationship of psychosocial and behavioral factors to …

Effects of submaximal exercise and hyperventilation on ECG components in healthy, young adult men with recording leads typically used for evaluation of ischemic heart disease
… 77.9 + 3.4 kg, x±SEM), free of risk factors for heart disease, were initially found to have J point (J₀) depression with mild exercise in lead V₅. Simultaneous ECG recordings from CM₅, CC₅ and V₅ during seated rest (REST), immediately post-moderate exercise (IPE), and after 30 s of …

Assessment of Global Cardiovascular Risk for developing Ischemic Heart Disease in Women // Оценка на глобалния сърдечно-съдов риск за развитие на исхемична болест на сърцето при жени
Сърдечносъдовите заболявания (ССЗ) са основна причина за смърт и инвалидност в България и по света както при мъже, така и при жени. Оценката на рисковите фактори и определяне на глобалния сърдечносъдов риск са от съществено значение за профилактиката им. Цел: Да се установи разпространението на …

Vascular Endothelin and Angiotensin Receptors Regulation in Inflammatory Arterial Disorders
… arteries in patients with 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 …

Artificial muscle technology applied towards treating ischemic mitral regurgitation caused by left ventricular remodeling
Ischemic Mitral Regurgitation (MR) affects a large portion of patients suffering from ischemic heart disease. Significant MR develops in one quarter to one third of patients who suffer from ischemic heart disease and doubles their late mortality rate after a myocardial infarction or …

Up-regulation of junctophilin-2 prevents ER stress and apoptosis in hypoxia/reoxygenation-stimulated H9c2 cells
Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death, and reperfusion which can restore blood flow is the primary therapy. However, reperfusion can induce further damage to cardiomyocytes, a condition described as ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury. I/R is now recognized as a combination determining …

Computational biomechanics in the remodelling rat heart post myocardial infarction
Cardiovascular diseases account for one third of all deaths worldwide, more than 33% of which are related to ischemic heart disease, including myocardial infarction (MI). This thesis seeks to provide insight and understanding of mechanisms during different stages of MI by utilizing finite element …
