In Pregnancy

Cardiovascular disease in pregnancy is present in 0.1 to 4.0% of those in developed countries and 0.6% in developing countries. It accounts for 18% of ICU admissions in the United States. The incidence is increasing due to increases in obesity, hypertensive diseases, advanced maternal age, and repair of complex congenital heart diseases. The physiologic changes to the cardiovascular system lead to a state of high flow and low resistance in pregnancy. This causes physical exam findings that mimic cardiac disease in pregnancy, making the diagnosis, treatment, and management of cardiac disease even more difficult for clinicians. Each cardiac disease poses unique risks and potential complications during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and postpartum. Preconception counseling, complete understanding of physiologic changes to the cardiovascular system during pregnancy, multidisciplinary team approach, and delivery in a tertiary care center are the keys to the successful management of patients with cardiac disease in pregnancy. This review contains 4 figures, 6 tables, and 45 references.  Key Words: aortic stenosis, cardiac disease, cardiac risk assessment, congenital heart disease, endocarditis prophylaxis, Marfan syndrome, mechanical valve, mitral stenosis, pregnancy, pulmonary arterial hypertension

The World

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the number one cause of death in the United States and most developed countries and is expected to remain so for much of this century. Rates of obesity have increased 2–4-fold over the last 2 decades in the US and this condition is linked with early development of hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, and atherosclerosis. The prevalence of diabetes is also increasing, and the rise of diabetes in young people 18–29 years of age was 40% in the period between 1990 and 2001. The World Heart Federation (WHF) has estimated that CVD will become the number one cause of death in the world by 2020, surpassing infectious disease in developing countries. Metabolic disorders are on the rise in general. However, as highlighted in the discussions presented in this supplement, patients with serious mental illness appear to represent a special population who are particularly vulnerable, with rates that surpass the general population.

The report by the UNCTAD Secretariat, submitted to the third session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development held in Santiago (Chile) in April 1972, deals with the restrictive business practices of the multinational corporations with special reference to the export interests of the developing countries. Since the world war, there has been a tremendous growth in the size and activities of many international firms. They have grown from the national corporation to the multidivisional corporation and now to the multinational corporation. With each step they acquired greater financial power, better technology and know-how and more complex administrative structures. They have subsidiaries and branches all over the world. In the course of the sixties they became one of the dominant factors in determining the pattern of world trade. At the same time, their increasingly restrictive business practices, which tended to adversely affect world trade and the export interest of less developed countries, attracted the attention of the governments both in developed and less developed countries and serious concern was shown at the international level. It is against this background that the UNCTAD undertook the study on the question of restrictive business practices.

The Impact

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.
