Abstract:

Primary prevention, based on healthy lifestyle habits that prevent the emergence of risk factors, is the preferred method of reducing cardiovascular risk. Reducing the prevalence of obesity is the most urgent task, and it is pleiotropic in that it affects blood pressure, lipid profile, glucose metabolism, inflammation, progression of atherothrombotic disease. Physical activity also improves several risk factors, with the added potential to lower heart rate.

Abstract:

Introduction. There are data on the effects of dust on the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system. The main measures for preventing diseases of the circulatory system aimed to identify and eliminate risk factors. However, the prevalence of risk factors for coronary heart disease among coal mine workers with anthracosilicosis has not been sufficiently studied, determining the study's relevance. The study aimed to learn the frequency of risk factors for coronary heart disease in coal industry workers with anthracosilicosis. Materials and methods. We examined 269 miners working in conditions of dustiness exceeding the maximum permissible concentration by ten or more times: 139 miners with a previously established diagnosis of anthracosilicosis and 130 miners of the control group without dust pathology of the lungs. All of them underwent a comprehensive clinical, instrumental, and laboratory examination of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems to detect anthracosilicosis and coronary heart disease, as well as to assess its risk factors. Results. In miners with anthracosilicosis, coronary heart disease was 3.5 times more common (30.94%) than in the control group (8.46%). We have identified a high incidence of coronary heart disease in the age group of 45 and more years and with the experience of working in dust conditions of 20 and more years. In miners with anthracosilicosis combined with coronary heart disease, arterial hypertension was 1.6 times more common (58.14%) than without concomitant coronary heart disease - 35.42%. Miners with a combination of anthracosilicosis and coronary heart disease were three times more likely (20.93%) than those without coronary heart disease (6.25%) to have a metabolic syndrome. According to the Tanner index, significant risk factors for coronary heart disease were the presence of an andromorphic constitutional-morphological type and the formation of a complication of anthracosilicosis - respiratory failure. The evaluation of biochemical blood tests showed that the most significant markers of coronary heart disease risk were hyperhomocysteinemia, increased levels of C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, and soluble fibrin-monomer complexes. Conclusions. We found that the most significant risk of developing coronary heart disease in miners is 45 years and older. There are also other risk factors: work experience in harmful working conditions of 20 years or more; the presence of arterial hypertension; metabolic syndrome; andromorphic constitutional-morphological type according to the Tanner index. Risk factors are respiratory failure, hyperhomocysteinemia, hyperfibrinogenemia, increased soluble fibrin-monomer complexes, and C - reactive protein. It is necessary to consider all risks in developing programs of medical and preventive measures for employees of the coal industry.

Abstract:

At the present time the most common diseases are diseases of the circulatory system, among which the leading place belongs to coronary heart disease (CHD). Risk factors for CHD were studied and evaluated. It was found that in women the most significant risk factors are arterial hypertension (54.5 %), hypodynamia (54.5 %) and stress (41.9 %), and in men — stress (58.1 %), arterial hypertension (40.7 %) and smoking (37.0 %).

Abstract:

A Case Control study was carried out to identify the risk factors of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital. As many as 96 patients were selected purposively as cases who were admitted with CHD at Coronary Care Unit, whereas an equal number of age, sex and religion matched controls were selected from patients admitted into Medicine Units during the study period. Data were collected by using pretested interview schedule after obtaining informed verbal consent. The mean age of the cases and controls, were 58.88 years with a Standard Deviation of 10.52 years. A highest number of cases and controls (87-90.62%) were males, while the rest 9 (9.38%) were females. Among cases 27 (28.13%) were illiterate, while of controls, 36 (37.50%) were illiterate. The association of smoking with the development of Coronary Heart Disease was statistically significant (P<O.05) with an odds ratio of 2.07. Family history of CHD had a very high statistical significance (p<0.001) with odds ratio 3.53. High statistical significance (p<0.01) was also observed between Diabetes Mellitus and Coronary Heart Disease with an odds ratio of 3.34. Coronary Heart Disease can be prevented through primordial prevention by hindering the development of baneful behaviours like habit of smoking, chewing betel leaf, use of tobacco and jarda, having fatty diet like meat.Bang Med J (Khulna) 2015; 48 : 28-31

Abstract:

Coronary heart disease (CAD) results from an interaction of different somatic, environmental and behavioral risk factors. Commonly, development of CAD is associated with arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking, sedentary life style and the like. Psychological factors in their own sake or in combination with other risk factors are also important for genesis of CAD. In this study, 170 people that were diagnosed with CAD and 170 healthy controls of corresponding sex and age were compared for anxiety, aggressiveness and Eysenck's two personality dimension. The data indicate that patients with CAD have very low level of anxiety and aggressiveness and very high level of neuroticism relative to the controls. .

Abstract:

AbstractObjectives: Psychological coronary-proncncss is most probably one of the first recognised risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD). The mechanisms by which psychological risk factors might exert their influence on the cardiovascular system arc less clear than those for the more standard biological risk factors. The aim of this review was to classify all possible mechanisms of potentiation of CHD by psychological factors.Method: A MEDLINE search was conducted by selecting literature on both standard biological risk factors (eg. dyslipidaemia, hypertension, smoking) and psychological risk factors (eg. personality traits, behavioural characteristics, coping with stress) for CHD.Results: It was suggested that six biological mechanisms could mediate psychological influences specifically for CHD, of course, together with the seventh mechanism of general alterations in health-related behaviours. These are: increased oxygen demand of the heart muscle, decreased blood supply to the heart muscle, increased concentration of blood, enhanced blood clotting, increase in cholesterol and other plasma lipids, disturbances of blood sugar level, and alterations in health-related behaviours.Conclusions: If more studies of CHD were conducted with both physical and psychological risk factors simultaneously, it would be possible to investigate which of the above suggested mechanisms are important, which could in turn substantially improve both primary and secondary preventive measures.

Abstract:

Research in human coronary heart disease has been conducted primarily on males; however, investigators have begun to focus research efforts on female subjects as well. A literature review that identified studies on women and coronary heart disease was done to describe modifiable risk factors for coronary heart disease in women. Several modifiable risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, and disorders of lipid metabolism previously identified for men are also risk factors for women. However, the mechanisms by which some of these risk factors work in women are different from those in men. Moreover, women have additional risk factors related to menopause and, in some cases, the use of oral contraceptives. Significant initial information has been gained concerning women and coronary heart disease risk factors. However, gaps persist in information regarding the individual and synergistic effects of risk factors for CHD in women.

Abstract:

0017 Few studies have reported the incidence of coronary heart disease and its relationship to risk factors in African-Americans. As part of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study, baseline risk factors were tested as predictors of incident coronary heart disease over 7-10 years of follow-up, 1987-1997, in four U.S. communities (Forsyth County, North Carolina; Jackson, Mississippi; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Washington County, Maryland). The sample included 14,026 men and women (2,298 black women [BW]; 5,686 white women [WW]; 1,396 black men [BM]; and 4,682 white men [WM] aged 45-64 who were free of clinical coronary heart disease at baseline. Age-adjusted incidence rates for the 7-10 year period (95% confidence interval) for coronary heart disease were BW 5.0(4.1-6.1), WW 4.0(3.5-4.6), BM 10.7(8.9-12.8), and WM 12.6(11.5-13.8). In multivariate analysis, traditional risk factors were generally predictive in blacks as in whites. Hypertension was a particularly strong risk factor in black women, with hazard rate ratios (HR) being: BW 4.12, WW 2.0, BM 1.85, and WM 1.59. Diabetes was predictive, but HRs were somewhat less in blacks than in whites: BW 1.88, WW 3.34, BM 1.70, and WW 2.14. LDL cholesterol was similarly predictive in all race/gender groups, HR 1.19-1.36 per S.D. LDL cholesterol increment. HDL cholesterol appeared somewhat more protective in whites than in blacks. Although black/white differences in risk factor associations exist, there were more similarities than differences in coronary heart disease risk factors and incidence. Findings from this study, along with clinical trial evidence showing efficacy, support aggressive management of traditional risk factors in blacks as in whites. Understanding of the intriguing racial differences in risk factor prediction may be an important part of further understanding the causes of coronary heart disease and may lead to better methods of prevention and treatment.

Abstract:

Extensive clinical and statistical studies have identified risk factors that increase the incidence of coronary heart disease. It is commonly suggested that more than 50% of patients with coronary heart disease lack any of the conventional risk factors. Objective. To determine the prevalence of four conventional risk factors among patients with coronary heart disease. Material and methods. We analyzed data of 606 patients with coronary heart disease (myocardial infarction, unstable and stable angina pectoris) hospitalized in the Clinics of Santariškės, Vilnius University Hospital, in 1997–2005. Results. Among patients with coronary heart disease, at least one of four conventional risk factors was present in 98% of patients. Hypertension was present in 47.7% of patients, diabetes – in 12.9%, dyslipidemia – 90.1%, and smoking – in 24.1% of patients. In younger patients (<55 years), only 2.3% of patients lacked any of four conventional risk factors. Two-thirds (66.5%) of younger patients with coronary heart disease had two and more risk factors. Conclusions. Considering the fact that patients with coronary heart disease often lack conventional risk factors, currently more attention is given to nontraditional risk factors as well as genetic causes of coronary heart disease. Nevertheless, the present study revealed that 98% of patients with coronary heart disease had at least one of four conventional risk factors. Among younger patients (younger than 55 years), conventional risk factors are identified very frequently. Thus, it can be concluded that in order to reduce the epidemic of coronary heart disease, much greater emphasis should be given to identify and to improve prevention of four conventional risk factors as well as the lifestyle of the patient.

Abstract:

• Background Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in women. Risk factors include smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, and obesity. Without an understanding of these risk factors, women are poorly prepared to carry out preventive self-care actions to reduce their risk. • Objectives To describe perceptions of cardiovascular risk factors and risk-reducing behaviors among women with newly diagnosed coronary heart disease. • Methods A descriptive study was done in a large midwestern suburban hospital. A nonprobability sample of 33 women with coronary heart disease completed a mail questionnaire. Data were collected by using the Coronary Heart Disease Knowledge Test, the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II, and questions developed for the study. • Results Thirty-three women responded. Mean age was 65.64 years (range, 36–85 years; SD, 11.32 years); mean educational level was 12.67 years (range, 8–18 years; SD, 1.79 years). Most of the respondents could not identify personal cardiovascular risk factors; the risks identified were considerably fewer and differed from those documented in the women’s medical records. Women reported moderate levels of most risk-reducing behaviors and low levels of physical activity. • Conclusions Women with coronary heart disease may not know what risk factors they have. Women must have their risk factors assessed and should be counseled about those risks.
