development of accelerated atherosclerosis in SSc is less clear‚ however‚ an increase in carotid IMT in SSc patients has been reported [6‚ 7]‚ clinically there is also little evidence for increased macrovascular complications such as stroke and myocardial infarction in SSc patients [4]. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) as measured by high-resolution ultrasound is a well-validated marker of subclinical atherosclerosis [8]. The study of the IMT in other rheumatic diseases on Egyptian patients showed

Anemia August 11‚ 2011 (Kansas City‚ Missouri) — Taking less blood from acute-MI patients for diagnostic tests may improve patient outcomes by reducing the risk of hospital-acquired anemia‚ a new study published online August 8‚ 2011 in the Archives of Internal Medicine suggests [1]. Multiple studies have shown that hospital-acquired anemia is associated with greater mortality and worse health status in patients with acute MI‚ but the relationship between diagnostic phlebotomy and the risk of hospital-acquired

appear to be complex and multifactorial. Both traditional and nontraditional risk factors potentially contribute to the increased cardiovascular risk. There is a need for heightened awareness of the increased risk for silent ischemia‚ early myocardial infarction‚ and sudden death (4). The underlying cause of ischaemic heart disease (IHD)‚ appears to be accelerated in patients with RA. The reason for this may be related to clustering of classical cardiac risk factors such as dyslipidaemia‚ a prothrombotic

heart’s pumping inefficiency causes a buildup of blood in the lungs‚ a condition called pulmonary congestion. Prevalence Congestive heart failure continues to grow in prevalence due to the ageing population and the survival rates of myocardial infarctions (Fundukian‚ 2011). Congestive heart failure means that the heart is still pumping blood‚ but at a slower rate than normal‚ so the pressure in the heart starts to increase as a result. This slower heart rate causes the heart to be unable to
