Psychoneuroimmunology: Cardiovascular Disease01:27

Psychoneuroimmunology: Cardiovascular Disease

30
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a multidisciplinary field that examines how psychological factors, particularly stress, interact with the immune system and impact physical health. Research in PNI has shown that chronic or traumatic stress can disrupt both the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the sympathetic nervous system. These disruptions contribute to serious health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases.
A key area of focus in PNI is the relationship between stress and coronary...

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response01:20

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response

784
Exercise significantly impacts cardiovascular response, which is crucial for understanding patient health and designing effective treatment plans.
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray

172
The most common cardiovascular diagnostic test is an X-ray. It produces images of the heart, blood vessels, and adjacent structures.
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

Cardiovascular Drugs: Classification based on Therapeutic Indications

2.4K
Cardiovascular diseases, encompassing a range of conditions, can significantly affect the heart's operations and the overall circulatory system. These conditions impair the heart's ability to pump blood, leading to a deficit in oxygen supply to crucial organs. Anomalies in the heart's electrical system, known as arrhythmias, can cause heartbeats to accelerate or slow down. Usually, heart rates increase during physical activity and decrease while resting or sleeping. However,...

Ischemic Heart Disease: Overview01:17

Ischemic Heart Disease: Overview

1.3K
Ischemic heart disease occurs when the heart's blood supply dwindles, causing an ominous lack of oxygen and nutrients. This deficiency, stemming from reduced or obstructed blood flow, spells danger, leading to heart muscle damage and dysfunction.
Atherosclerosis, the primary malefactor, orchestrates this dangerous condition. It manifests as the accumulation of fatty deposits, akin to insidious plaques, within arterial walls. As time elapses, these plaques metamorphose, hardening and...

Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System II: CRP, Hcy, and Cardiac Natriuretic Peptide Markers01:19

Blood Studies for Cardiovascular System II: CRP, Hcy, and Cardiac Natriuretic Peptide Markers

77
Cardiac biomarkers are critical in diagnosing, prognosing, and managing cardiovascular diseases. Routine measurement of specific biomarkers such as B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), C-reactive protein (CRP), and homocysteine (Hcy) is common practice in clinical settings to evaluate heart function and predict cardiovascular events.
These markers indicate stress or strain on the heart muscle:
Natriuretic Peptides (BNP)
Cardiac myocytes produce these hormones in response to ventricular stretching...

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Cardiology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is linked to substantial cardiovascular mortality and morbidity.
  • Chronic inflammation in RA significantly impacts cardiovascular health.
  • Understanding RA's cardiovascular effects is crucial for patient management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of chronic inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on cardiovascular morbidity.
  • To assess the association between RA, cardiovascular risk factors, and cardiovascular events.
  • To analyze cardiovascular disease trends in RA patients.

Main Methods:

  • A longitudinal study involving 201 individuals (124 with RA, 77 with osteoarthritis as controls).
  • Participants were followed for an average of 8 years to track fatal/non-fatal cardiovascular diseases.
  • Incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors were also evaluated.

Main Results:

  • The incidence of cardiovascular events was 43.9% in the RA group versus 37.5% in the control group.
  • Chronic heart failure was the most common cardiovascular disease observed.
  • Subgroup analysis indicated that rigorous inflammation control is vital for mitigating cardiovascular risk.
