Abstract Aims This report from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Atlas Project updates and expands upon widely cited 2019 in presenting cardiovascular disease (CVD) statistics for 57 ESC member countries. Methods results Statistics pertaining to 2019, or latest available year, are presented. Data sources include World Health Organization, Institute Metrics Evaluation, Bank, novel sponsored data on human capital infrastructure healthcare delivery. New material this includes...
OBJECTIVE Dysglycemia, in this survey defined as impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or type 2 diabetes, is common patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and associated an unfavorable prognosis. This European investigated dysglycemia screening risk factor management of CAD relation to standards guidelines for cardiovascular subjects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Society Cardiology’s Observational Research Programme (ESC EORP) Action on Secondary Primary Prevention by Intervention Reduce...
The term masked hypertension (MH) should be used for untreated individuals who have normal office blood pressure but elevated ambulatory pressure. For treated patients, this condition termed uncontrolled (MUCH).Masked (MUCH) has gone unrecognized because few studies 24-h ABPM to determine the prevalence of suboptimal BP control in seemingly well-treated and there are such large cohorts patients attending usual clinical practice. This is important associated with a high risk cardiovascular...
To assess serum levels of tumor marker carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) in patients with heart failure (HF) and to investigate possible correlation echocardiographic parameters level brain natriuretic peptide (BNP).We included 76 different cardiac symptoms hospitalized at Clinic for disease rheumatism. Control group (n = 26) was consisted without signs HF, normal left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF) BNP level. Patients diagnosis HF 50) were subdivided into 2 depending on fluid overload:...
Introduction: By development of the medicine, control risk factors for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), became foundation cardiology.Aim: To investigate association age with presence in patients infarction.Methods: The study had a prospective, comparative and descriptive character, it was done on sample 80 (n=80; 55 male 25 female) Clinic Heart, Blood Vessel Rheumatic Diseases, Clinical Center University Sarajevo from January 2016 to August 2018.All were hospitalized under diagnosis...
<p><strong>Objectives.</strong> The aim of this research was to detect the presence depressive symptoms among student population at a Faculty Medicine, as well determine correlation between socio-demographic characteristics and students’ lifestyle symptoms.</p><p><strong>Subjects Methods. </strong>Of 800 students enrolled asked participate, 412 responded survey. study included Students from all 6 years studies. degree measured by 21-item revised form...
Atrial fibrillation represents the most common cardiac arrhythmia in clinical practice. By year 2030, 14-17 million AF patients are anticipated European Union. remains one of major causes stroke, heart failure, sudden death all over world.The objective our study is to determine and cerebrovascular events (myocardial infarction, death) their cumulative incidence during 11 years follow up period.This includes 2352 ambulant hospitalized with atrial (AF) who were enrolled period. All underwent...
Introduction:The commonest mitral regurgitation etiologies are degenerative (60%), rheumatic post-inflammatory, 12%) and functional (25%).Due to the large number of patients with acute MI, incidence ischaemic MR is also high.Ischaemic a complex multifactorial disease that involves left ventricular geometry, annulus, valvular/subvalvular apparatus.Ischaemic an important consequence LV remodeling after myocardial infarction.Research Objectives: The objective this study determine role...
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is released from ventricular myocites due to their stretching and volume overload.In heart failure there BNP release.Aim of this study was observe release in acute myocardial infarction (AMI).We measured patients with AMI.Control group (n=) similar by age gender AMI group.We found statistically signifi cant elevation compared controls (.pg/ml vs . pg/ml, p< .).Patients severe systolic dysfunction had the highest levels, while preserved...
Abstract D-dimer and fibrinogen are nonspecific diagnostic biomarkers for venous thromboembolism (VTE). The aim of this article was to present the values in relation anatomical localization deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This an observational study, which included 1,142 patients hospitalized from 2010 2019 at Department Angiology, Clinical Center University Sarajevo. Data on gender, age, location were collected all patients. Fibrinogen available 983 500 patients, respectively. Thrombosis...
Aim: γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is an independent prognostic marker for cardiac death and reinfarction in patients with coronary artery disease, but its clinical significance during early postmyocardial infarction period unclear. Patients & methods: This short-term prospective study included 40 acute myocardial (AMI) whom we determined GGT activity, lipids, uric acid, homocysteine (Hcy), high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) left ventricular (LV) function on admission day 5 following...
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aim&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;To examine the prevalence of depression in patients after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), as well relationship between and quality life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;/strong&gt; /&gt;The survey was conducted via sociodemographic questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Short Form 36&lt;br /&gt;Health Survey questionnaire (SF-36). The result SF-36 is...
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVD) are still the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Bosnia Herzegovina. Elevated LDL-cholesterol is established as a strong marker risk. Some researchers believe that measuring triglyceride levels gives good assessment residual risk for ASCVD besides measurement LDL-cholesterol.The aim this study was to evaluate overall prevalence major factors ASCVD, lipid profile 10-year fatal using HeartSCORE scoring system. Further, we want...
Perindopril is a tissue-specific ACE inhibitor with 24 hours long blood pressure-lowering effect, which protects vessels and decreases the variability of pressure.The aim our study was to investigate effectiveness safety perindopril in newly diagnosed or previously treated but uncontrolled adult hypertensive patients.This prospective cohort included primary care patients essential hypertension. Primary outcomes were decreasing arterial pressure normal levels (<140/90 mmHg), reducing systolic...
Cardiomyopathies are diseases of the heart muscle, and present a heterogeneous group myocardial with mechanical or electrical dysfunction, characterized by ventricular hypertrophy dilatation. They can be strictly related to muscle (primary), as part systemic disease (secondary), represent factor that leads reduced quality life, occurrence failure mortality. The primary ones those genetic conditioning, mixed include dilated restrictive cardiomyopathy, acquired caused myocarditis,...
Diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to evaluate potential some novel anthropometric indices adipocytokines CV among T2DM patients.
Heart failure (HF) still remains as one of the most common causes hospital admission with a high mortality rate.To investigate possible prognostic role brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), high-sensitivity (hs) cardiac troponin (cTn) I, cystatin C, and cancer antigen 125 (CA125) in prediction decompensation after an index hospitalization to their additive value.Two hundred twenty-two patients hospitalized acute HF were monitored followed for 18 months.BNP at discharge has highest sensitivity...
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aim&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;To evaluate the relationship between cardiovascular remodelling and glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients without diseases (CVD) renal transplant recipients (RTR). /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; The cross-sectional study included 83 with eGFR&amp;lt;60 mL/min/1.73m 2 (45 CKD 3 stage 38 4 stage).
