<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> Although, our knowledge about the factors of cardio vascular diseases (CVD) is relatively acceptable, we have few publications about the risk factors of premature CVD particularly from developing countries such as Iran.</p><p><strong>OBJECTIVES:</strong> The present study is aimed to assess the risk of the modifiable risk factors of coronary heart disease (CHD) in the first cardiac attack of patients classified by age to check which risk factors might have a more significant impact to increase the risk of premature myocardial infarction (MI).</p><p><strong>METHODS:</strong> In a case control study, 122 and 266 cases and controls were recruited from one of the main referral centres in Tehran. Cases were those who were hospitalized because of their first myocardial infarction before the ages of 50 and 55 years in males and females respectively, and compared their risk factor profiles with those experienced first MI in higher age. Main independent variables in this study were: the demographic variables, distress, lipid profile, diabetes, smoking, family history of cardio vascular diseases, and physical activity.</p><p><strong>RESULTS: </strong>The results showed that distress (OR= 3.95), minorities (compare to Fars race) (OR= 3.30), higher education (OR= 1.30), family history of hyperlipidaemia (OR=1.89) significantly increased the risk of premature MI. We also found that family history of hypertension (OR=1.35), current smoking versus no smoking (OR=1.60), fast-food consumption (OR=1.48), non-alcoholic beverages (OR= 1.12) had also association with the risk of premature MI but only in crude model. We also found that regular physical activity (OR=0.42), ex-smoker versus current smoking (OR=0.27) and regular consumption of milk (OR=0.73) was protective against premature MI.</p><p><strong>CONCLUSION:</strong> Our findings demonstrate that the effect of most of risk factors were mostly related to their life-style (distress, smoking, physical inactivity and dietary pattern); while family history of diseases was also important.</p>

COVID-19 infection is characterized with hyperstimulated infl ammatory response that affects lungs, cytokine storm and acute respiratory distress syndrome. Thrombotic complications are the leading reason for death in COVID-19 patients. Those of them with previous cardio-vascular diseases or risk factors – obesity, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, advanced age are with higher risk for worse clinical outcome. Coagulopathy as well as thrombocytopathy and endothelial dysfunction are signifi cant pathophysiological factors for the severe clinical course of the infection. Beside anticoagulation therapy, targetеd strategies regarding thrombocytopathy and endothelial dysfunction are necessary for the treatment of patients with COVID-19 infection.

The calcined aortic stenosis is one of the most frequently occurring cardio-vascular diseases with unfavorable prognosis of treatment. Te actual conceptions of risk factors of development, pathogenesis and course of disease starting from inflammation and endothelial dysfunction and completing with bone metaplasia give an opportunity of determining prospective directions of medicinal therapy favoring deceleration of progressing of calcined aortic stenosis. The review summarizes main data of publications concerning attempts of pathogenetically medicinal impact on progressing of calcined aortic stenosis.

Abstract Introduction The education of the patients with cardio-vascular diseases aims to modify the present risk factors and to increase the aware participation in the therapy. Arterial hypertension is one of the most common modifiable risk factors of cardio-vascular diseases. However, the knowledge of the self-care and adherence to therapeutic recommendations are highly disappointing. Understanding people's levels of knowledge on cardiovascular risk factors and its relation to level of adherence in antihypertensive treatment might contribute effectively to medical staff efforts to prevent, treat and control the disease. The aim of the study was analysis of the knowledge of the cardio-vascular risk factors and the adherence to therapeutic recommendations. Material and methods 101 patients (mean age 57.5±13.2) with arterial hypertension (stage I and II according to ESC) were enrolled into the study. The following questionnaires were used: Morisky's Self-Reported Measure of Medication Adherence (MMAS-8-Item), Hill-Bone Compliance to High Blood Pressure Therapy Scale (Hill-Bone Scale) and The Cardiovascular Disease Risk Factors Knowledge Level Scale (CARRF). Results 41% of the patients had worse knowledge of the cardio-vascular risk factors. In comparative analysis there were the significant differences in adherence to treatment with regards to the knowledge according to CRRRF questionnaire. The patients with better knowledge had the best adherence, which diminished along with worsening the knowledge (19.0±3.5 vs 18.3±3.7 vs 16.6±4.1). The increase of the knowledge by one point in scale CARRF-KL was accompanied by the increase of the adherence by 0.14 point (mean). The relations between knowledge and adherence was observed in terms of the treatment (8.3±2.0 vs 10.1±5.0 vs 8.9±3.5; p=0.003) and the global results of Hill-Bone questionnaire (19.5±4.4 vs 22.7±7.3). The relation between the knowledge and the adherence in terms of salt intake or control check-ups was not proved. In multiple regression analysis the knowledge was significant independent determinant, which influenced the adherence in terms of the treatment MMAS (b= 0.253; p=0.0004) Conclusions Adherence to therapeutic recommendations is related to the knowledge of the cardio-vascular risk factors, i.e. the better knowledge, the better adherence. The knowledge is the independent predictor of adherence to treatment in patients with arterial hypertension. The identification of knowledge deficits as a factor contributing to lack of adherence and poor hypertension control remains a key challenge for clinicians caring for patients with hypertension.
