Introduction:The high level of morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease is largely due toinsufficient influence on the main risk factors that contribute to the development of myocardial infarction.Therefore, a detailed study and assessment of risk factors is among the most important problems of medical and social importance. The aim: To study and evaluate the impact of biological, social and hygienic, social and economic, psychological, natural and climatic risk factors on the development of myocardial infarction. Materials and methods: A sociological survey was conducted in 500 people aged 34 to 85. They were divided into two groups. The main group consisted of 310 patients with myocardial infarction. The control group consisted of 190 practically healthy people, identical by age, gender and other parameters, without diseases of the cardiovascular system. Results: It was defined that 30 factors have a significant impact on the development of myocardial infarction.Data analysis revealed that the leading risk factors for myocardial infarction were biological and socio-hygienic. The main biological factors were: hypertension and hypercholesterolemia. The man socio-hygienic factor was smoking. Conclusions: Identification of risk factors provides new opportunities for the development of more effective approaches for the prevention and treatment of myocardial infarction.

AbstractCardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death and morbidity worldwide. Inflammation plays an important role in the development of atherosclerosis and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in patients after percutaneous coronary interventions. Data on stent elements that lead to excessive inflammatory response, proper identification of high–risk patients, prevention and treatment targeting residual inflammatory risk are limited. This review aims to present the role of inflammation in the context of evolving stent technologies and appraise the potential imaging modalities in detection of inflammatory response and anti-inflammatory therapies.

Cardiovascular disease is one of the dominant concerns of society, affecting millions of people each year. Early and accurate diagnosis of risk of heart disease is one of major areas of medical research, aimed to aid in its prevention and treatment. Most of the approaches used to predict the occurrence of heart disease use single data mining techniques. However, performances of predictive methods have recently increased upon research into hybrid and alternative methods. This paper analyses the performance of logistic regression, support vector machine, and decision trees along with rule-based hybrids of the three in an attempt to create a more accurate predictive model.

Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death worldwide and in Indonesia. Public awareness and acceptance of preventative cardiovascular care are crucial for reducing illness-related morbidity and mortality. As a result, community service is essential for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Between April and July 2019, this community service was undertaken in Ngangkrik Hamlet, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta Special Region (DIY). Ngangkrik locals participated in this program in three categories: Bapak Bijak (Wise Dads), Ibu Cerdas (Smart Moms), and Pemuda Bijak (Wise Youngsters). Five stages comprised this program: planning, informing, preparation, implementation, and oversight. Lectures/courses, discussions, practice, and roleplaying were used to implement the materials. To examine participants' knowledge, the pretest and posttest approach was utilized. The program raised participants' knowledge and understanding about the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular disease across all categories.
