  Risk factors for heart disease :  high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking . Some risk factors for heart disease cannot be controlled, such as your age or family history. But you can take steps to lower your risk by changing the factors you can control. The importance of resting heart rate (HR) as a prognostic factor and potential therapeutic target is not yet generally accepted. Recent large epidemiologic studies have confirmed earlier studies that showed resting HR to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in men and women with and without diagnosed cardiovascular disease. Clinical trial data suggest that HR reduction itself is an important mechanism of benefit of beta-blockers and other heart-rate lowering drugs used after acute myocardial infarction, in chronic heart failure, and instable angina pectoris. Pathophysiological studies indicate that a relatively high HR has direct detrimental effects on the progression of coronary at...

  A cardiopathy could be a downside with the speed or rhythm of your heartbeat. It means your heart beats too quickly, too slowly, or with associate irregular pattern. Once the guts beats quicker than traditional, it's known as arrhythmia. Once the guts beats too slowly, it's known as cardiac arrhythmia. Data-based studies recommend that we frequently fail to notice attack cardiac arrhythmia because the explanation for cerebrovascular accident. However, attributable to the constraints of existing studies, tips have nonetheless to endorse specific methods for sleuthing cardiac arrhythmia in patients with a replacement stroke. The results of 2 studies revealed during this issue of the Journal indicate that prolonged watching of regular recurrence ought to currently become a part of the quality care of patients with cryptogenic stroke. This finding represents a very important advance, as a result of typical evaluations fails to see the explanation for one third of anemia strokes....
