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.
Heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction are major causes of morbidity and mortality. In this thesis, metabolic, hormonal, genetic and prognostic aspects of echocardiographically determined left ventricular function were investigated in a fairly large longitudinal population-based study of men. The participants were
In general, patient participation is regarded as being informed and partaking in decision making regarding one’s care and treatment. This interpretation is common in legislation throughout the Western world and corresponding documents guiding health care professionals, as well as in scientific studies.
Heart failure is a common disease which is difficult to diagnose. To aid physicians in diagnosing heart failure, a decision support system has been proposed. Parameters useful to the system are suggested. Some of these, such as age and gender, should be
