A screen for cardiovascular risk factors( e.g. diabetes, hypertension etc.) is crucial to pick up those which could be treated, to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke patients with psoriasis already carry a higher than average risk of cardiovascular disease, so they should strictly follow standard public health advice about maintaining a healthy body weight and exercise levels, stop smoking, and reduce alcohol intake. – Jon GouldingRate it:
Although there is increasing evidence that cereal grains may offer the best risk reductions for colorectal and cardiovascular disease. – Victoria BurleyRate it:
As helpful as NSAIDs are in medicine, they can lead to gastrointestinal bleeding, cardiovascular disease and renal damage if not monitored properly. – Amir RafizadRate it:
Aspirin should be limited to people at the highest risk of cardiovascular disease and a very low risk of bleeding. – Roger BlumenthalRate it:
Berries, such as blueberries, blackberries and raspberries are high in fiber, antioxidants and phytonutrients, all of which work to lower oxidative stress and inflammation in the body, these processes improve blood pressure, vascular function, and fight free radical formation. Consequently, clinical studies have shown that berries contribute to lower cardiovascular disease risk. – Isa KujawskiRate it:
BMI higher than 25, the upper end of healthy, is linked to most cancers, most cardiovascular diseases, respiratory disease, and liver and kidney conditions. – Krishnan BhaskaranRate it:
Both the laboratory and the naturalistic studies are consistent with one another, that water pipe tobacco smoke contains many toxicants, including nicotine that causes dependence, tobacco-specific nitrosamines that cause cancer, carbon monoxide that causes cardiovascular disease, and now benzene that causes leukemia, and water pipe tobacco smokers have these same toxicants in their bodies after they smoke tobacco in a water pipe. – Thomas EissenbergRate it:
But we already know phthalates mess with the male sex hormone, testosterone, which is a predictor of adult cardiovascular disease. And we already know that these exposures can contribute to multiple conditions associated with mortality, such as obesity and diabetes. – Leonardo TrasandeRate it:
Cardiovascular disease screening remains important for all adults including men and women, perhaps the frequency of evaluation should be more emphasized in this important peri-menopausal interval( between ages 45-55) in women - more science needed here. – Robert EckelRate it:
Dr. Gary Gibbons, director of the NIH's National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute said. Blood pressure is measured by two numbers : the systolic pressure and the diastolic pressure. The systolic pressure is the top number while the diastolic pressure is the bottom number. The current blood pressure guidelines suggest that the systolic pressure( the top number) should be around 150 to 160. This study recommends that doctors try to keep the systolic pressure should be under at least 120. This is especially true for people over age 50. High blood pressure key statistics : • About 70 million American adults have high blood pressure, meaning 1 in every 3 adults • Only about half of people with high blood pressure have their condition under control. • Nearly 1 out of every 3 American adults has pre-hypertension( when the blood pressure numbers are higher than normal, but not yet in the range of high blood pressure) • Women are about as likely as men to develop high blood pressure during their lifetimes. • However, for people who are younger than 45, high blood pressure affects more men than women. For people 65 or older, high blood pressure affects more women than men. The study involved more than 9,300 people who were aged 50 and older. The study participants were all at an increased risk for heart disease or kidney disease. Half of the participants received an average of two medications which were supposed to lower their systolic pressure below 140. The other half of the participants received an average of three medications to lower their systolic pressure below 120. The results showed that the participants who were able to get their systolic pressure below 120 had significant health benefits. Those who got their systolic pressure under 120 had a 25 percent lower risk of death. They also had a 30 percent lower risk of cardiovascular problems such as heart attack and stroke. This study provides potentially lifesaving information that will be useful to health care providers as they consider the best treatment options for some of their patients, particularly those over the age of 50. – Gary GibbonsRate it:
Evidence has been accumulating very rapidly showing aspirin works in reducing cancer and cardiovascular disease mortality, it is good to remember, though, if a person wants to take a low-dose aspirin, especially if a person has had cancer, they will want to have an initial conversation with their doctor first. – Yin CaoRate it:
For every 265 patients treated with aspirin for 5 years, one heart attack, stroke or death from cardiovascular disease would be prevented, on the other hand, for every 210 patients treated with aspirin over the same period, one would have a serious bleeding event. – Sean ZhengRate it:
For those persons already at higher risk for cardiovascular disease, on balance aspirin is a good idea to reduce cardiovascular disease risk alone, however, it appears it will also reduce colorectal cancer risk at the same time, which represents a benefit with little or no additional risk if aspirin is already indicated. – David WeinbergRate it:
From a clinical standpoint, I think it highlights the importance for health care providers to routinely ask patients about napping and excessive daytime sleepiness and evaluate for other contributing conditions to potentially modify the risk for cardiovascular disease. – Phyllis ZeeRate it:
Heavy alcohol consumption must always be avoided, not only for the risk of cardiovascular disease, but also because it causes acute injury to the liver and to the central nervous system, moreover, especially with binge drinking, the risk of car accidents increases by many folds. – Giuseppe LippiRate it:
High LDL cholesterol is a much more powerful and important risk factor for cardiovascular disease than triglyceride levels, so while both sides were quite effective in short-term glycemic control, I think the main issue is the potential long-term effects of keto on cardiovascular disease. – Frank HuRate it:
I believe you will see doctors come around to this quickly, hypertension is such a strong risk factor for cardiovascular disease, far greater than cholesterol and everything that will allow us to treat this more effectively is important. – Barbara RobertsRate it:
I have always been reasonably convinced that moderate alcohol consumption was protective for cardiovascular disease, but now I am having my doubts. – David SpiegelhalterRate it:
I know that kind of sounds hokey in today's day and age, it turns out that the ones with the most loving, supportive, strong social networks... they actually end up with the least amount of cardiovascular disease. – Andrew FreemanRate it:
If Joshua Tal're practicing some of these activities, what we do see is( an) increase in the amplitude of theta and delta( brain) waves, which indicate one is in the parasympathetic state, slow breathing like the 4-7-8 technique reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes and improves pulmonary function. – Rebecca RobbinsRate it:
If you were older -- you were at least 55 years of age -- or you had a history of cardiovascular disease or you had chronic kidney disease or diabetes, white coat hypertension was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality. – Daichi ShimboRate it:
In particular, tobacco drives cardiovascular disease and cancer, and obesity is a driving factor as well, what we do see is almost across the board some slight improvement in mortality. – Georges BenjaminRate it:
In the'80s and'90s, we made great strides in treating cardiovascular disease, and I think that's largely a result of public health measures. So decreases in tobacco use, and recognition of this association between cholesterol and cardiovascular disease, if anything, it's flattening out now, so what is the next step ? What is going to keep us on these declines ? Is it going to be public health measures again that are going to do it ? – Eric AdlerRate it:
Indeed, to be included in the study, participants had to report a history of cardiovascular disease or of diabetes, and they may have modified their diets after the diagnosis, along with being more at risk to experience accelerated cognitive decline during follow-up. – Cecilia SamieriRate it:
