Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis (HD).
CVD are present since the early stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and reach around 30 to 44% of those beginning hemodialysis. Macrovascular
Epileptic seizures that begin in adulthood seriously affect patients, their relatives and the society in which they live financially and psychologically. The etiology of epileptic seizures starting at adult age includes head trauma, central nervous system infections, intracranial lesions,
Multiple sclerosis (MS), the most prevalent neurological disability, is an autoimmune-mediated disorder that affects the central nervous system (CNS) and often leads to severe physical or cognitive incapacitation as well as neurological problems in young adults . Multifocal zones of inflammation due
Preeclampsia is a multisystem disorder that complicates 3-5% of pregnancies and remains a major cause of maternal, fetal, and neonatal morbidity and mortality.(1)
Preeclampsia is characterized by the development of new onset hypertension (HTN) and the establishment of proteinuria. Other signs and
Depression is common and associated with considerable health disability. Traditional antidepressants mainly work by modulating monoamine levels in the synaptic cleft; however, the evidence that depression is caused by impaired serotonin or noradrenaline activity is weak and inconsistent, and indeed
HMG-coA reductase inhibitors (statins), independent of cholesterol-lowering effects, are beneficial in liver diseases by reducing endothelial dysfunction, intrahepatic vasoconstriction, inflammation and fibrosis, and can reduce portal vein blood pressure. Clinically significant portal hypertension
Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is the most common nocturnal breathing disorder. It is characterized by the occurrence, during sleep, of repeated episodes of complete collapse (apnea) or incomplete (hypopneas) of the upper airways. OSAS is a pathology that, through its cardiovascular and
This study describes the rationale, design, and baseline characteristics of a trial to determine whether treatment with fosinopril 20 mg/day and/or pravastatin 40 mg/ day will prevent cardiovascular and renal disease in nonhypertensive (RR <160/100 mm Hg and not using antihypertensive medication)
Anticoagulant treatment reduces the incidence of death and cardioembolic events in patients with atrial fibrillation or prosthetic heart valve and the incidence of death and recurrences in patients with VTE.
Warfarin and similar vitamin K antagonists (VKA) have been the standard therapy for patients

Simvastatin is the most commonly prescribed statin, a class of drugs that inhibit hydroxyl-methyl-glutaryl (HMG) coenzyme A reductase, and thereby blocking biosynthesis of cholesterol in the liver. Simvastatin is prescribed for individuals
In high risk patients undergoing invasive angiography, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) has shown reduction of plaque for patients treated with HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors (statins). However, there is no accepted noninvasive method to determine if treatment for atherosclerosis results in reduction
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the United States and worldwide. Several studies have demonstrated that fruit and vegetable rich diets significantly reduced blood pressure and reduced the risk of ischemic stroke and cardiovascular disease in general, the exact mechanisms
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE About 50% of patients with heart failure have a normal ejection fraction (HFNEF). Although traditionally considered a more benign disorder than the related heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF), the mortality figures for patients with HFNEF and HFREF are now
