Experiences with

Cardiovascular disease (CVD)

One difference between their group and ours, is that their group is where many of our members end up when we drop the ball and end up cardiovascular disease (CAD)! That's how I ended up there. And part of dropping that ball is not taking statins when needed.

I presume everyone here is aware of the "QRISK2 cardiovascular disease 10 year risk score" that GP surgeries provide. On NICE recommendations, if you score over 10% you are recommended to take statins.

I have cardiovascular disease and AFib, so am not sure if this class is right for me. My CVD is moderate and AF is relatively controlled. The lowest weights are 5 kilos which I seem to manage ok... but read somewhere that even that is a bit high for those with heart problems.

So I came across a recent follow-up study of 84000 post menopausal women (reported on the Zoe site) which suggests 2 or 3 portions of good quality dark chocolate a week reduces the risk of mortality, most notably from cardiovascular disease and dementia. Now that’s my kind of medicine!

The University of Ottawa is working on a potential breakthrough in treating complex diseases like cancer and cardiovascular disease using a combination of mRNA and RNAi therapies delivered via nanoparticles.

disease Smoking and drinking can increase the risk of stroke and congestive heart failure. They can also increase blood pressure and triglyceride levels. Inflammation Smoking and drinking can increase inflammation, which can compound the effects of each habit.

Cardiovascular disease and dementia are major public health challenges that cause a significant burden on both healthcare and society. A new study from Karolinska Institutet in Sweden shows that long-term use of common cardiovascular drugs is associated with lower risk of dementia later in life.

Data of 45 paroxysmal AF patients treated with berberine and 43 age, gender, New York Heart Association functional classification score, and concomitant cardiovascular disease matched patients treated with amiodarone were analyzed retrospectively to examine conversion rate, average conversion time, average

The British Cardiovascular Society has produced a joint statement with their affiliates, regarding the importance of addressing the inequalities women heart patients encounter. The report outlines the problems, along with giving recommendations from each affiliate, to hopefully address the problems

He had to check my cardiovascular score first as heart disease can be affected by its use. My calcium score had unfortunately moved from minor to moderate in 5 years. However Arrythmia nurse .. quite bossy! told me later on.. that I shouldn’t use it.
