The burden of cardiovascular diseases among US States, 1990-2016
IMPORTANCE: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in the United States, but regional variation within the United States is large. Comparable and consistent state-level measures of total CVD burden and risk factors have not been produced previously. OBJECTIVE: To quantify and describe levels and trends of lost health due to CVD within the United States from 1990 to 2016 as well as risk factors driving these changes. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: Using the Global Burden of Disease methodology, cardiovascular disease mortality, nonfatal health outcomes, and associated risk factors were analyzed by age group, sex, and year from 1990 to 2016 for all residents in the United States using standardized approaches for data processing and statistical modeling. Burden of disease was estimated for 10 groupings of CVD, and comparative risk analysis was performed. Data were analyzed from August 2016 to July 2017. EXPOSURES: Residing in the United States. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: Cardiovascular disease disability-Adjusted life-years (DALYs). RESULTS: Between 1990 and 2016, age-standardized CVD DALYs for all states decreased. Several states had large rises in their relative rank ordering for total CVD DALYs among states, including Arkansas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Kentucky, Missouri, Indiana, Kansas, Alaska, and Iowa. The rate of decline varied widely across states, and CVD burden increased for a small number of states in the most recent years. Cardiovascular disease DALYs remained twice as large among men compared with women. Ischemic heart disease was the leading cause of CVD DALYs in all states, but the second most common varied by state. Trends were driven by 12 groups of risk factors, with the largest attributable CVD burden due to dietary risk exposures followed by high systolic blood pressure, high body mass index, high total cholesterol level, high fasting plasma glucose level, tobacco smoking, and low levels of physical activity. Increases in risk-deleted CVD DALY rates between 2006 and 2016 in 16 states suggest additional unmeasured risks beyond these traditional factors. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Large disparities in total burden of CVD persist between US states despite marked improvements in CVD burden. Differences in CVD burden are largely attributable to modifiable risk exposures.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
A Record Study Cardiovascular Diseases Admited in Hospitals Inj Jakarta
Dalam rangka mempelajari epidemiology penyakit cardiovascular sebagai langkah pertama telah dilakukan pencatatan mengenai penderita-penderita penyakit cardiovascular untuk periode tahun 1970 sampai dengan tahun 1973 pada 6 rumah sakit di Jakarta yaitu R.S. Tjiptomangunkusumo, Fatmawati, Persahabatan, Sumber Waras, St. Carolus dan Cikini. Dari 80.812 penderita diantaranya 2.836 adalah penderita penyakit cardiovascular yang terdiri 43,2 persen penyakit jantung koroner, 30,1 persen hypertensi, 14,5 persen demam rematik dan rematik jantung, 8,4 persen penyakit jantung bawaan, 2,5 persen penyakit jantung pulmonair, 1,3 persen radang katup jantung. Penyakit jantung bawaan, demam rematik dan rematik jantung sering nampak pada golongan umur muda dan lebih banyak pada wanita dari pada laki-laki Penyakit jantung koroner dan hypertensi banyak ditemukan pada golongan tua dan lebih banyak pada laki-laki
Physiological conditions influencing regenerative potential of stem cells
Stem cells are being used in the treatment of cardivovascular diseases. Here, we review the physiologic and pathologic conditions that impact the regenerative potential of stem cells in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases which include the influence of donor age and the presence of metabolic syndromes. We will also discuss strategies such as pretreatment of the recipient tissue or autologous or allogeneic stem cells by growth factors or drugs and by providing a synthetic scaffold and genetic modifications that impact the regenerative potential of stem cells. Finally, we will evaluate the current state of treatment of acute or chronic cardiovascular diseases with allogeneic stem cells
Somatic, but not cognitive-affective, symptoms are associated with reduced heart rate variability in individuals with dysphoria
Background: Somatic, but not cognitive-affective, symptoms of depression have been associated with reduced heart rate variability (HRV), and with poor prognosis in cardiovascular patients. However, factors concomitant with cardiovascular diseases may confound the relationship between somatic symptoms of depression and reduced HRV. Therefore, this study examined whether reduced HRV was differentially associated with cognitive-affective and somatic symptoms of depression in medically healthy individuals with and without dysphoria. Methods: Self-reported cognitive-affective and somatic symptoms as measured with the Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II) questionnaire and time and frequency domain parameters of HRV were collected in 62 medically healthy individuals, of whom 25 with and 37 without dysphoria. Results: Somatic, but not cognitive-affective, symptoms of depression were inversely associated with standard deviation of NN intervals (SDNN) (beta = -0.476, p .24). Conclusions: By showing that the relationship between somatic depressive symptoms and reduced HRV extends to medically healthy individuals with dysphoria, the present findings suggest that this association is independent of factors concomitant with cardiovascular diseases. The present study also suggests that individuals with somatic rather than cognitive-affective subsets of depressive symptoms may be at greater risk for developing cardiovascular diseases
Are Cardiovascular Diseases Bad for Economic Growth?
We assess the impact of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality on economic growth, using a dynamic panel growth regression framework taking into account potential endogeneity problems. We start from a worldwide sample of countries for which data was available and detect a non-linearity in the influence of working age CVD mortality rates on growth across the per capita income scale. We then split the sample (according to the resulting income threshold) into low- and middle-income countries on one hand, and high-income countries on the other hand. In the latter sample we find a robust negative contribution of increasing CVD mortality rates on subsequent five-year growth rates. Not too surprisingly, we find no significant impact in the low- and middle-income country sample.cardiovascular disease, growth empirics, dynamic panel data estimator
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES PREVENTION
Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are one of the main causes of mortality and disability. This study was done to
determine the effect of education based on HBM on knowledge and attitude of women towards nutritional behaviors
related to cardiovascular diseases.
Methods and Materials: This quasi-experimental study with before and after educational intervention conducted in
2015, by using simple random sampling 63 female housewives participated. Valid and reliable questionnaire based on
HBM completed by the participants before intervention. Then, the education was done about the nutritional factors
related to cardiovascular diseases in the form of lecture, group discussion and questioning and answering in 4
sessions. Questionnaire was complete done month after. Data were analyzed by SPSS 16 and paired – T test,
ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient.
Result: The mean score of the studied cases’ knowledge was 68.57±14.25and 92.59 ± 6.14 before and after
education, respectively. The mean score of perceived sensitivity and severity were 55.65±10.02and 58.63±12.67
before education respectively and they were, in turn 78.17±14.4 and 75±20.31after the education. The mean score of
perceived benefits and self – efficacy were 64.68 ±13.19 and 43.84±7.27 before education and they were also, in turn,
84.25±11.21 and 66.76±13.72 after education. The increases in all five constructs were significant (P<0/001). The
perceived barriers’ mean score was 59.46±18.83 before education and reached down to 39.79 ± 18.75 after education,
respectively. These differences were significant as well (P< 0/001).Conclusions: The education based on Health Belief Model causes to increase the knowledge and improve the attitude
about preventing nutritional behaviors towards cardiovascular diseases
