Artificial Intelligence Applications to Improve Risk Prediction Tools in ElectrophysiologyCurrent Cardiovascular Risk Reports - Tập 14 - Trang 1-9 - 2020
Gurukripa N. Kowlgi, Fatima M. Ezzeddine, Suraj Kapa
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an aspect of computer technology that imitates the ability of the human mind to analyze data. Over the last few years, there has been a paradigm shift in the utilization of AI in clinical practice. It is imperative for the clinical electrophysiologist to understand the basics of AI, and its potential applications in the field as new applications are developed and im...... hiện toàn bộ
Childhood Psychosocial Determinants of Cardiovascular HealthCurrent Cardiovascular Risk Reports - Tập 10 - Trang 1-8 - 2016
Erica Sood, Samuel S. Gidding
Understanding risk and protective factors that impact cardiovascular health is of utmost importance. There is ample evidence that cardiovascular health begins in childhood, tracks over time, and is subject to adverse social influences. This paper reviews key studies examining the relations of psychosocial factors in childhood to cardiovascular health in adulthood. The existing literature provides ...... hiện toàn bộ
U-shaped Relationship of Blood Pressure to CVD Risk and Relevance to Treatment Goals in DiabetesCurrent Cardiovascular Risk Reports - Tập 8 - Trang 1-6 - 2014
Peter M. Nilsson
A heated debate has developed on the blood pressure goal for treatment of hypertension in patients with type 2 diabetes. The evidence for going below 130 mmHg systolic blood pressure has been found to be weak and that is why new guidelines have advocated a somewhat more conservative view, aiming for a blood pressure goal <140/85 mmHg in European guidelines and <140/80 mmHg in American guidelines f...... hiện toàn bộ
Women’s Health Initiative Hormone Therapy Trials: New Insights on Cardiovascular Disease from Additional Years of Follow upCurrent Cardiovascular Risk Reports - Tập 7 - Trang 196-202 - 2013
Virginia M. Miller, JoAnn E. Manson
Debate and controversy surrounding the benefits and risks of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) for prevention of cardiovascular disease has continued in the decade since the cessation of the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) hormone therapy interventions. As a result, many women and their physicians have been reluctant to turn to MHT for relief of vasomotor and other menopausal symptoms. However, sev...... hiện toàn bộ
The Exercising Commuter: Is Commuting a Healthy Way to Be Active?Current Cardiovascular Risk Reports - Tập 6 - Trang 299-306 - 2012
Roy J. Shephard
After summarizing knowledge gaps through 2008, research on exercise commuting is reviewed for 2008–2011. Evidence-based reports on physical activity needs have emerged from many consensus panels. There seems potential to meet aerobic requirements by cycling to work. Rapid walking may also be effective in older adults. It remains unclear how far exercise commuting can strengthen muscle and bones, e...... hiện toàn bộ
A New Tool Needed for Identifying and Characterizing ObesityCurrent Cardiovascular Risk Reports - Tập 7 - Trang 85-87 - 2013
Goutham Rao
Obesity is a highly prevalent condition across the world with serious medical, psychological, and social consequences. Unfortunately, widely used simple tools to identify obesity or excess adiposity such as body mass index and waist circumference have serious shortcomings including lack of accuracy and accepted standards associated with increased health risk. Furthermore, many people with excess a...... hiện toàn bộ
Genetic Predispositions to Heart FailureCurrent Cardiovascular Risk Reports - Tập 10 - Trang 1-6 - 2016
Wonshill Koh, Christina Wong, W. H. Wilson Tang
Heart failure can be caused by either acquired or inherited cardiovascular diseases. With the rising incidence of heart failure (HF), there is a need to further understand the molecular pathogenesis of HF. There has been growing interest in the role of genetic predisposition for developing HF, not only in inherited cardiomyopathies but also in acquired cardiovascular diseases. There have been expa...... hiện toàn bộ
Smoking and inflammation: Their synergistic roles in chronic diseaseCurrent Cardiovascular Risk Reports - Tập 2 - Trang 446-451 - 2008
Bente Halvorsen, Kari Otterdal, Serena Tonstad, Pål Aukrust
Cigarette smoking is a major risk factor for the development and progression of cardiovascular and other chronic diseases. Cigarette smoke increases inflammatory mediators in the circulation and generates high amounts of reactive oxygen species, which are potent triggers of the inflammatory response and thought to play a central role in the development of atherosclerosis. Low-grade inflammation, a...... hiện toàn bộ
