Sedentary Life Style

Hridroga (Heart disease) is very common in present scenario due to the sedentary life style and increase psychosocial stress. The major causative factors for heart problems are cigarette smoking, tobacco chewing, alcohol consumption, junk foods and obesity. According to WHO Ischemic heart disease or Coronary artery disease is the major causes of mortality. Therefore, it is needed to explore knowledge on heart disease time to time. The main purpose of this article is to promote the awareness about the heart disease, so prevalence of such problem can be reduced by avoiding risk factors.

: Subjects affected by ischemic heart disease with non-obstructive coronary arteries constitute a population that has received increasing attention over the past two decades. Since the first studies with coronary angiography, female patients have been reported to have non-obstructive coronary artery disease more frequently than their male counterparts, both in stable and acute clinical settings. Although traditionally considered a relatively infrequent and low-risk form of myocardial ischemia, its impact on clinical practice is undeniable, especially when it comes to infarction, where the prognosis is not as benign as previously assumed. Unfortunately, despite increasing awareness, there are still several questions left unanswered regarding diagnosis, risk stratification and treatment. The purpose of this review is to provide a state of the art and an update on current evidence available on gender differences in clinical characteristics, management and prognosis of ischemic heart disease with non-obstructive coronary arteries, both in the acute and stable clinical setting.

Background: Wide variation exists in the diagnostic yield of coronary angiography in stable ischemic heart disease (IHD). Previous work has primarily focused on patient factors for this variation. We sought to understand if system and physician factors, specifically hospital and physician type, as well as physician self-referral, have incremental impacts on the yield of coronary angiography, above and beyond that of patient factors alone. Methods: All patients who underwent a diagnostic coronary angiogram for possible stable IHD, at the 18 cardiac centers in Ontario, Canada were identified from October 1st, 2008 to September 30th, 2011. Obstructive coronary artery disease was defined as stenosis greater than 70% in the main coronary arteries or greater than 50% in the left main artery. Physicians were classified as either invasive or interventional. Hospitals were categorized into cath only, stand-alone PCI and full service centers. Multi-variable hierarchical logistic models were developed to identify system and physician level predictors of obstructive coronary artery disease, having adjusted for patient factors. Results: Our cohort consisted of 60,986 patients who underwent a diagnostic angiogram for possible stable IHD, of which 33,483 had obstructive coronary artery disease (54.9%), ranging from 41.0% to 70.2% across centers. Self-referral rates varied from 4.8% to 74.6%. Fewer self-referral patients (52.5%) had obstructive coronary artery disease compared to non-self-referral patients (56.5%), with an odds ratio (OR) of 0.89 (95% CI 0.85-0.93;p <0.001), after accounting for patient factors. Angiograms performed by interventional physicians had a higher likelihood of showing obstructive coronary artery disease (60.1% vs. 50.8%; OR 1.22; 95% CI 1.17-1.28; p<0.001). Fewer angiograms at cath only centers showed obstructive disease (45.0%) compared to full service centers (58.1%); this was of borderline significance (OR 0.59; 95% CI 0.34-1.00; p=0.05). Conclusion: Physician and system factors are important predictors of the diagnostic yield of coronary angiography in stable IHD, even after accounting for patient characteristics. Further study into the drivers of how these physician and system factors impact diagnostic yield is an important focus for quality improvement.

A comparative analysis of the effectiveness of antianginal drugs (papaverine, persantine, intensain, nitrong, anaprilin) in combination with climacteric myocardial dystrophy in women was carried out. The data obtained make it possible to recommend beta-blockers (anaprilin, obzidan) for the treatment of coronary artery disease in women against the background of pathological menopause for wider use.

Background: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) is one of the principle causes of morbidity and of mortality in women1. Ischemic heart disease may manifest clinically as either chronic stable angina or acute coronary syndrome2 (ACS). Traditional risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, etc.) contribute to the development of IHD in both women and men. Some risk factors are unique to women (e.g., pregnancy-related complications, menopause), which cause increased mortality in women Aim: To study the risk factors and clinical profile of ischemic heart disease in women. Materials And Methods: Hospital-based prospective, cross-sectional study done in 50 patients with ischemic heart disease. Patients with a history of Chest pain suggestive of ischemic heart diseases and Electrocardiogram and cardiac biomarkers suggestive of ischemic heart disease were included in the study. Results: Maximum incidence of ischemic heart diseases is seen in the 6th decade. Mean age is 58.92 + 2.8years. 64%of the patients presented with chest pain, and 36% patients presented without any chest pain. After chest pain, the most common symptom was palpitations, seen in 56% patients, followed by sweating (44%). 30% presented to the medical facility within 3hours. 88% were diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome, and 12% were diagnosed with chronic stable angina. Women specific risk factors include the pregnancy-related complications seen in 10% patients, menopause attained in 86% patients, PCOS seen in 08% patients, use of oral contraceptive pills noticed in 08% patients, Other risk factors identified were hypothyroidism in 16% patients, connective tissue disorders like rheumatoid arthritis seen in 12% of the patients. Conclusion: Awareness regarding atypical symptoms as well as other symptoms of IHD should be created among women to avoid delayed complications. Simple lifestyle modifications like physical activity, diet modifications, etc., will reduce the number of women at risk for IHD.

AbstractIschemic heart disease is currently an epidemic affecting individuals worldwide. Increased incidence along with earlier onset of disease has led to the constant search for biomarkers that will help in earlier identification and treatment of at risk individuals. Small dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL) is the atherogenic subtype of low-density lipoprotein (LDL). It is smaller in size and higher in density in comparison to other LDL subtypes. Higher levels of sdLDL have beenfound to be associated with increased incidence of ischemic heart disease and adverse outcomes. Properties including decreased resistance to oxidative stress and prolonged residence time in the circulation account for its increased atherogenic potential. Hence intervention approaches targeting sdLDL directly in at risk individuals may be beneficial.Genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors affect sdLDL levels.But the main determining factor is the level of triglycerides (TGs). Higher TG levels are associated with higher levels of very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) 1 and sdLDL. Various drugs have been used for targeting sdLDL with varying outcomes; drugs tried out include statins, fibrates, niacin, cholesterol ester transfer protein inhibitors and sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors. Future prospects include modification of enzymes involved in fatty acid and TG synthesis, for example, lipoprotein lipase and acyl CoA carboxylase. However, further research is still necessary to draw clear guidelines for sdLDL reduction therapy in coronary artery disease treatment and prevention.
