... a clear distinction among PUFA species may result in inadvertently attributing health effects of n-3 PUFAs to linoleic acid. Pooled analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of clinical CHD events [ 1 ] and intermediate risk factors [ 2 ] and pooled analyses of nonrandomized prospective...

... Abstract In order to assess the role of stress in the metabolism of CHD patients we followed up in a group of 30 CHD patients–mean age 45 years -and an age-matched group of 21 controls the changes of blood lipids, blood glucose (BG), heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) during a stressful...

... Abstract The development of congenital heart defects (CHDs) is likely a combination of genetic and nongenetic influences. Unfortunately, CHD prevention has been hindered by a lack of conclusive information on modifiable risk factors. This chapter discusses general concepts about risk assessment...

... Abstract Congenital heart defects (CHD) remain one of the most common categories of birth defects worldwide. In many developing countries, high early childhood mortality and limited diagnostic facilities often obscure the true scope of the problem. In this review, we provide an overview...

... Abstract Most cardiac lesions occur as isolated birth defects. Yet the genetic basis of nonsyndromic congenital heart disease (CHD) has been difficult to elucidate due to genetic heterogeneity, incomplete penetrance, polygenics, and other nongenetic contributions. Families with Mendelian...

... Abstract Genetic testing is an important consideration in all congenital heart conditions. Given that congenital heart diseases (CHDs) are disorders of abnormal heart development, it is probable that pathogenic variants in genes that affect early embryonic differentiation and cardiac...

... of the interrelationships between heart and kidney disease that are “cardiorenal syndrome (CRS)” and “chronic kidney disease (CKD) and coronary heart disease (CHD).” Challenges: For CRS, we discuss its epidemiology, types, pathophysiological mechanisms common to CRS types 1, 2, 3 and 4 and pathogenesis of CSR type 5...

... hemodialysis (CHD). HHD has a number of advantages including improved survival and quality of life (QOL) and flexibility and potential for employment, compared to CHD. Despite the many perceived benefits of HHD, its adoption has been limited. According to a nationwide statistical survey of dialysis patients...

... Abstract Improvements in the surgical care of pediatric patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) have resulted in a growing population of adult CHD (aCHD) patients. These adults are developing a host of new issues and complications that many adult cardiologists have not been trained...

... nutritional protocols for neonates with congenital heart disease can standardize feeding practices and improve outcomes. Understanding the stress response to surgery is essential for the nutritional management in neonates with congenital heart disease. Introduction Congenital heart disease (CHD...

... Congenital heart defects Thoracic surgery Hypoxia Breastfeeding Enteral nutrition Key Messages Infants and children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at risk of malnutrition, resulting from an imbalance between increased energy requirements and reduced energy and nutrient...

... Abstract Heterotaxy, a birth defect associated with randomization of left-right visceral organ asymmetry, is highly associated with complex congenital heart disease (CHD). This reflects the essential role of left-right patterning in the formation of the four-chamber heart required...

... Abstract Diabetes can cause a range of microvascular and macrovascular complications. Of these, retinopathy is the most common microvascular complication, while coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of macrovascular complication. The interplay between these 2 complications...

... Abstract This chapter reviews important ethical issues related to the diagnosis, evaluation, and management of congenital heart disease (CHD). We highlight the social injustices and political forces which may impact pregnancy risk, prenatal diagnosis, and perinatal interventions for CHD. We...

... Abstract Premenopausal coronary heart disease (CHD) is very rare, but when women enter menopause the incidence of CHD increases markedly. CHD presents in general 10 years later in women than in men. The reason is still unclear, but the protective effects of estrogens have been suggested...

...-lowering medications, for the prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD) was the major basis for these ‘conventional guidelines’. However, the guidelines based on the cholesterol hypothesis included some misinterpretations of the reported data, and were found to be even risky for the majority of people...
