Article #1 A study conducted by Capewell‚ Ford‚ Croft‚ Critchley‚ Greenlund‚ and Labarthe (2010) studied coronary heart disease risk factors trends and mortality in the United States. The purpose of this study was to look at cardiovascular risk factors in the United States since coronary heart disease is among the leading causes of death in the world. It is not only the leading cause of death‚ but coronary heart disease is also costing the United States a lot of money. Since much of the population

cardiovascular reaction mediated by the sympathetic nervous system” (Lewis‚ 2014‚ p.1784). There are many factors that need to be explored in relation to the complication of autonomic dysreflexia in spinal cord injuries. These factors include etiology‚ pathophysiology‚ clinical manifestations‚ diagnostics‚ and collaborative care. Lewis (2014) states “ spinal cord injuries are generally the direct result of trauma that causes cord compression‚ ischemia‚ edema‚ and possible cord transection”(p.1172). The level

We could also use the terms ‘First’ and ‘Second’ windows of myocardial protection to refer to the ‘Classic’ and the ‘Delayed’‚ respectively. Unlike the early phase of preconditioning‚ which lasts 2 to 3 hours and protects against infarction but not against stunning‚ the late phase of preconditioning lasts 3 to 4 days and protects against both infarction and stunning‚ suggesting that it might have greater clinical relevance. There also is a great difference

Physical exercise is any bodily activity that enhances or maintains physical fitness and overall health. It is performed for many different reasons. These include strengthening muscles and the cardiovascular system‚ honing athletic skills‚ weight loss or maintenance and for enjoyment. Frequent and regular physical exercise boosts the immune system‚ and helps prevent the "diseases of affluence" such as heart disease‚ cardiovascular disease‚ Type 2 diabetes and obesity.[1][2] It also improves mental

The prognosis of PSVT is dependent on the comorbid cardiac problems and is generally benign in patients with normal heart structure. Rarely‚ it could result in syncope‚ myocardial infarction‚ pulmonary edema‚ congestive heart failure and even sudden death. Moreover‚

Twelve million people worldwide are killed every year by cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral thrombosis‚ cerebral infarction‚ myocardial infarction‚ coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis. It equals to nearly onefourth of global death toll. Incidence of cardiovascular diseases keeps rising

SVM models are used to identify the class levels of the feature analysis and classify the Healthy control (HC) and abnormal case in the signal. Binary SVM classifier is mainly utilized for the vectors value to identify the signal into normal and myocardial infracted signal. The classifiers performance is estimated in the range of sensitivity‚ specificity‚ and accuracy value is shown in Table 3.These parameters estimated by getting the value for both the test vector with the predicted vector value

In women it takes more time to diagnose a heart attack than in men‚ because of two things. First in some parts of the world women don’t receive
