Periodontal Disease and Coronary Heart Disease

Journal of Periodontology, 2006
Background: Several epidemiological studies have demonstrated an association between periodontal disease and coronary heart disease (CHD). The association could be a result of confounding by mutual risk factors. The present study was undertaken in a Danish population to reveal the significance of common risk factors.Methods: The investigation was ...

The parturient with coronary heart disease

International Journal of Obstetric Anesthesia, 2008
Cardiac disease is one of the leading indirect causes of maternal mortality in the UK, exceeding numbers of direct deaths from thromboembolism and hypertension combined. Over one year in our unit we managed six women with coronary heart disease. In this series five women had stable coronary heart disease. Three delivered electively by caesarean section

Depression and Coronary Heart Disease

Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2010
Depression and coronary heart disease (CHD) are significant contributors to the burden of disease in both developed and developing countries. Although depression seems to be a marker of increased risk after the diagnosis of CHD, it is currently unclear whether depression can be considered as an independent risk factor and whether its treatment lowers ...

Alcohol and Coronary Heart Disease

Trends in Cardiovascular Medicine, 1996
The consumption of alcohol and its impact on health have been of great interest to researchers for many years, but remains complex for several reasons. First, with the exception of violent deaths attributable to intoxication, risks and benefits of alcohol consumption are likely to accrue over years or even decades.

Coronary Heart Disease as a Cultural Disease

Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics, 2010
It has been the feeling of a lot of authors that the psychosocial characteristics of coronary patients reflect some characteristics of the culture we live in. This hypothesis is tested by correlating an index of the measure in which a nation is achievement oriented and the incidence of CVD in the same nation.

Diet and Coronary Heart Disease

Archives of Internal Medicine, 1959
The most pressing medical problem of the Western World is that of coronary heart disease. The past 15 years have seen a revolution in attitude toward this problem. The old pessimistic view that atherosclerosis is inevitable and immutable has given way to an optimism that atherosclerosis can be reduced to its chemical parts, can be known, and, in time ...

Obesity and Coronary Heart Disease

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 2001
Obesity is commonly cited as a risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease (CHD). Epidemiologic studies tend to support this contention, particularly those focusing on patients with central obesity. Such studies however, are imprecise and prone to misclassification bias.

Predictability of coronary heart disease

Journal of Chronic Diseases, 1979
Abstract In the past 30 yr there has been an impressive increase in our ability to predict coronary heart disease (CHD). Some of the developments in epidemiology and statistics from which this derives are discussed. While it is not possible to specify a useful upper bound to the predictability of coronary heart disease, the paper provides guides to ...

History of coronary heart disease

Zeitschrift f�r Kardiologie, 2002
Coronary heart disease, in the mid-twentieth century has become the most frequently occurring lethal disease. Coronary vessels, that is, coronary arteries tend to develop atherosclerotic plaques already at an early stage. The onset and course of this development has often been a mute one, without pain, rendering thereby the recognition of coronary ...

Exercise in Coronary Heart Disease

Sports Medicine, 1986
Population levels of habitual activity have probably contributed to both the recent epidemic of cardiovascular disease and its waning. Evidence supporting the exercise hypothesis can be drawn from comparisons of individuals with differing levels of occupational and leisure activity.
