Exercise testing by Active Pedal Plantar flexion:
The investigators plan to collect 140 cases:
1. Healthy subjects with no apparent atherosclerotic risk [< 65 y/o, no diabetic mellitus (DM), no hypertension, or no hyperlipidemia, not obese, not current smoker, no smoking history >10 years] 4(n=5)
2.
Purposes Study part 1: Quantify the occurrence of risk factors of atherosclerosis among patients with very premature CAD in the Central Denmark Region and investigate to what degree patients are treated according to national guidelines.
Study part 2: Investigate the occurrence of CAD among
A global noticeable tendency is the increasing prevalence of peripheral artery disease (PAD). Approximately 27 million people in Europe and North America are affected by PAD. Risk factors attaining this high prevalence include age, obesity, nicotine abuse, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and
Determination of cardiovascular risk
If the assessment of cardiovascular risk remains incomplete, can identify indicators that measure risk:
1. Framingham Risk Score: Includes age, sex, total and HDL-CHOL, and levels of blood pressure (can underestimate the risk in some patients).
2. PROCAM Risk
Exercise therapy (ET) is considered to be the main conservative treatment for patients with intermittent claudication (IC) and is documented to be effective, especially when supervised. However, wide scale introduction of supervised ET in the Netherlands would lead to a substantial increase of
Primary Hypothesis: Intensive glycemic control reduces major macrovascular morbidity and mortality compared to standard glycemic control in type 2 diabetics who have failed simple therapy.
Secondary Hypotheses: Intensive glycemic control, compared to standard glycemic control, reduces other
BACKGROUND:
The present study was preceded by the earlier San Antonio Heart Study 1 supported under this grant. The San Antonio Heart Study 1 was a population-based survey of diabetes and cardiovascular risk factors in Mexican American and non-Hispanic whites conducted from 1979 to 1982.
