Background: Heart failure (HF) prognosticates a death sentence, and despite recent advances in treatment, long-term outcomes for patients with advanced HF are very poor, with only a 50%–60% survival rate at 5 years. This is alarming for the approximately

A novel principled method for the measurement of vascular robustness uncovers hidden risk for premature CVD death [PDF]
The detection of high risk for premature death of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among individuals with low-to-moderate risk factor scores is a major challenge. Systems biology suggests that the vasculature's functional robustness against risk factor challenges may serve as a novel discriminator of mortality risk under similar risk factor loads. However,

Background and aim: For a long time, aspirin has been recommended for the prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, results of long-term effects of aspirin use on the risk of CVD and all-cause death as well as cause-specific mortality are not ...

Health care and hospitalisation costs of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Thailand [PDF]
Background: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) has become a leading cause of death and disability in Thailand due to the unhealthy lifestyle of the populace; triggering high risk of exposure to CVD, increase in the number of hospital admissions year on year.

Pregnancy-related factors may signal additional protection or risk of future cardiovascular diseases
Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) guidelines recommend using the Pooled Cohort Equation (PCE) to assess 10-year CVD risk based on traditional risk factors. Pregnancy-related factors have been associated with future CVD. We examined the contribution
