Beyond Barker: Infant Mortality at Birth and Ischaemic Heart Disease in Older Age [PDF]
Adverse conditions in early life can have consequential impacts on individuals' health in older age. In one of the first papers on this topic, Barker and Osmond 1986 show a strong positive relationship between infant mortality rates in the 1920s and ischaemic heart disease in the 1970s.

The “L-Sandwich” Strategy for True Coronary Bifurcation Lesions: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Background. This study explored the efficacy of the “L-sandwich” strategy, which involves the implantation of stents in the main vessel (MV) and shaft of the side branch (SB) with a drug-coated balloon (DCB) applied to the SB ostium, for coronary true ...

Early Prediction of Heart Disease Using PCA and Hybrid Genetic Algorithm with k-Means [PDF]
Worldwide research shows that millions of lives lost per year because of heart disease. The healthcare sector produces massive volumes of data on heart disease that are sadly not used to locate secret knowledge for successful decision making. One of the most important aspects at this moment is detecting heart disease at an early stage. Researchers have

CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE: Heart disease and pregnancy [PDF]
Pregnancy in most women with heart disease has a favourable maternal and fetal outcome. With the exception of patients with Eisenmenger syndrome, pulmonary vascular obstructive disease, and Marfan syndrome with aortopathy, maternal death during pregnancy in women with heart disease is rare.1-4 However, pregnant women with heart disease do remain at ...

A “long-standing” malpositioned pacing lead. Long-term follow-up after extraction
Transvenous pacemaker (PM) catheters can be unintentionally placed in the left ventricle (LV) during the implantation procedure. An 8-year-old girl was discovered with a malpositioned pm wire, seven years after the implant.

Analyzing the impact of feature selection on the accuracy of heart disease prediction [PDF]
Heart Disease has become one of the most serious diseases that has a significant impact on human life. It has emerged as one of the leading causes of mortality among the people across the globe during the last decade. In order to prevent patients from further damage, an accurate diagnosis of heart disease on time is an essential factor.
