Kidney malfunction results cardiovascular disease (CVD) probability. The means for the threat increase frequently include a mixture of traditional and non-traditional CVD risk factors.We analyzed renal disorder as CVD and mortality threat factor in middle-aged males free from diabetes and CVD. The chance for myocardial infarction (MI) and CVD death was enhanced by ~40% in the 16.5% of men with worse kidney function.
In the context of transitional Vietnam, although cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been shown to cause a large burden of mortality and morbidity in hospitals, little is known about the magnitude of its burden, risk factor levels and its relationship with socio-demographic status in the overall population.
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is associated with morbidity and mortality due to cardiovascular disease and renal failure. This study focused on the impact of glycemic control on the development of DN and the metabolic consequences of DN. The euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp technique was used to assess insulin sensitivity and insulin clearance.
An increased risk for coronary heart disease among shift workers is earlier shown in the epidemiological literature. The aim of this thesis has been to penetrate metabolic disturbances and obesity among shift workers compared to day workers, and to compare if there are differences in total mortality or cause specific mortality of coronary heart disease
Several researches indicate that estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) is an efficient remedy for vasomotor symptoms, insomnia and vaginal dryness. Benefits are also shown on lipid patterns and on the incidence of osteoporotic fractures. As ERT estrogen replacement therapy enhances the risk of endometrial
The endothelium plays an important part in blood flow regulation by producing the vasodilatory substance nitric oxide (NO). Various studies have shown that commonly accepted risk factors for coronary heart disease, such as hypertension, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, smoking and mental stress impair endothelium-derived
Postmenopausal estrogen therapy, initiated early in the menopause, seems to protect against development of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. This thesis concerns studies of artery wall thickness and arterial stiffness estimated by noninvasive ultrasound techniques in long-term estrogen treated postmenopausal women who initiated
Eritadenine is a substance that might help the Western world to overcome one of the biggest cause of death, cardiovascular disease, by lowering the levels of cholesterol in blood by an accelerated excretion of ingested cholesterol. The aim of this thesis work
