Cardiovascular risk factors
Cardiovascular diseases are caused by a combination of several factors, including genetics, cultural, psychosocial factors. While some of the factors are not under the control of the individual, there are some risk factors that an individual can modify. Smoking and lipids are the main risk factors …

Artificial neural networks for cardiovascular risk, cardiovascular fitness and ankle-brachial index
… Neural Network can be trained to approximate a cardiovascular risk stratification algorithm by Rifai et al. My subsequent work involves training the network on a population-based cross-sectional dataset with the objective of categorizing Ankle-Brachial Index and Maximal Oxygen Consumption. These …

Parity and Cardiovascular Disease
… is associated with increased risk for clinical cardiovascular events although there are no data on the effects on central aortic stiffness or remodelling. We examined the relationship between live births and central aortic pressure indices, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based measures of …

Cardiovascular Risk Behaviour and Health Literacy among Patients with Cardiovascular Disease in Ethiopia
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are becoming more prevalent globally. Increased urbanisation and life expectancy accompanied by a lack of CVD prevention policies in developing countries, is predicted to escalate the burden of CVD in the future. Moreover, low- and middle income countries are facing a …

Cardiovascular Disease: Prevention and Management
Cardiovascular disease is a leading source of morbidity and mortality in the United States. Statins, or HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors, are efficacious in reducing major arterial vascular events and also may decrease risk of venous vascular events (venous thromboembolism) in women taking hormone …

Adaptive Immunity in Cardiovascular Disease
… major arteries, is a chronic disease leading to cardiovascular disease (CVD) such as myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke, both affecting millions worldwide. T-cells and antibodies have been implicated in atherosclerosis. This thesis contains studies on CD4+ helper subsets and studies on …

Risk Perception in Cardiovascular Disease
<p>Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains among the leading causes of death in the United States despite widespread knowledge about risk factors as well as effective primary prevention strategies. Risk perception is a complex phenomenon that plays an important role in how persons view disease and …

Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Guided Revascularisation
… patients is increasingly recognised. Established Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) techniques already provide much of the relevant functional information and the absence of ionising radiation makes CMR ideal for serial examinations. However, new CMR techniques continue to emerge, and require …

Dietary bioactives and cardiovascular health
… the efficacy of dietary bioactive compounds on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk markers in adults with mildly elevated blood pressure (BP) through the implementation of two human dietary intervention studies: the Cardio-Rubus (blackberry-polyphenols) and Cardio-Protein (ovalbumin-derived …

Microtechnologies for Cardiovascular Tissue Engineering
Cardiovascular disease is a rising epidemic worldwide, and curative therapies remain elusive. Heart and vascular disease remain some of the hardest to cure due to the limited capacity of the heart to repair itself, necessitating a cell or organ based therapy to cure the inevitable descent into …

Novel Platforms for Cardiovascular Repair
… represent an attempt to improve upon current cardiovascular cell therapy practices. The first chapter focuses on the regenerative efficacy of immunoselected mesenchymal progenitor cells in the setting of acute myocardial ischemia. Particular attention is paid to the mechanisms underlying the …

Biliverdin reductase in cardiovascular inflammation
… to Gilbert’s syndrome, protects patients against cardiovascular diseases associated with atherosclerosis. However a number of studies have suggested that BVR, aside from its bilirubin generating capacity, is pro-inflammatory. In the present study, we show that BVR acts in an anti-inflammatory …

Cardiovascular Health in Advanced Age
New Zealand‘s population is ageing. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) may account for 53% of death in people aged 85+. Nevertheless, little is known about the cardiovascular health status of those in advanced age. The aim of the study is to assess cardiovascular health and examine the relationships …

Cardiovascular Risk Indicators Among Adolescents
… who are believed to be "at risk" of developing cardiovascular disease in later life. A related purpose was to determine the effectiveness of a health education intervention program (Know Your Body) as a means of modifying or reducing the "at risk" status of the students in this sample.

Noninvasive assessment of cardiovascular health
Cardiovascular health is currently assessed by a collection of hemodynamic parameters many of which can only be measured by invasive methods often requiring hospitalization. A non-invasive approach of evaluating some of these parameters, such as systemic vascular resistance (SVR), maximum left …
