Recent findings suggest that patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are at increased risk for myocardial infarction and stroke during periods of acute exacerbation. These findings might be related to acute endothelial changes associated to increased systemic inflammation. Changes
The aim of the current study is to increase level of the awareness regarding risk factors and warning signs of stroke among population at risk who attending the primary health care center at Jeddah city in Saudi Arabia.

Background
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death globally. Ischemic heart disease (IHD) contributes the most to this statistic and since 1990 the global burden of IHD has increased. It is estimated that 50 000 Swedish patients are hospitalized every year due to IHD. The risk of
Every seven minutes in Canada, there is a death due to heart disease or stroke. Up to 80% of cardiovascular disease (CVD) could be prevented by identifying and controlling for biological risk factors such as hypertension, high cholesterol, and diabetes, and behavioral risk factors such as physical
Background:
