Coffee and coronary heart disease

Heart, Lung and Circulation, 2001
The role of coffee consumption in the onset of myocardial infarction remains uncertain. A review of published reports showed that although cohort data suggest very little excess risk of coronary heart disease among habitual coffee drinkers, case-control data suggest an excess risk of the order of 60% for people drinking five or more cups per day.We ...

Lipoprotein(a) and coronary heart disease

Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, 1994
Elevated plasma or serum lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) levels have been associated with premature coronary heart disease (CHD). Lp(a) levels can be assessed quantitatively by electrophoresis and quantitatively by immunoassays determining either total Lp(a) mass, apo(a) mass on Lp(a) protein mass, or by precipitation methods followed by measurement of Lp(a ...

Obesity and coronary heart disease

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 1996
Obesity carries a penalty of an associated adverse cardiovascular risk profile. Largely as a consequence of this, it is associated with an excess occurrence of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. It is concluded on the basis of data from the Framingham study and other large prospective studies that the rate of development of cardiovascular ...

Depression and coronary heart disease

Nature Reviews Cardiology, 2016
Depression is a highly prevalent risk factor for incident coronary heart disease (CHD) and for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with established CHD. Several biological and behavioural mechanisms have been hypothesized to underlie the relationship between depression and CHD, but none has been shown to account for more than a small ...

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.

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.

Diet and Coronary Heart Disease

1987
Diets low in total fats are widely recommended for the general public for the purpose of prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD). These diets lower the plasma cholesterol and low-density lipoproteins, and they are consumed in many countries where the prevalence of CHD is low.

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.
