Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Data on the decrease in coronary heart disease in the US are presented in a collection of papers. Change, and trends in the US are compared to international trends (based on mortality and hospital data). Possible causes for the decline, including pathophysiological bases, coronary care, and artery bypass grafts are covered. Finally, changes in risk factors are described: trends in smoking and hypertension; food consumption patterns; changes in blood cholesterol; relation of physical activity, and environmental and social variables. A summary strategy for quantifying and studying coronary heart disease change is included. (rkm).

Download or read book Cardiovascular Diseases in the United States written by Iwao Milton Moriyama and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1971 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiovascular diseases kill and disable more than a million Americans each year. The major types of this complex of diseases are coronary heart disease, hypertensive disease, cerebrovascular diseases, rheumatic heart disease, and congenital malformations of the circulatory system. Authors Moriyama, Krueger, and Stamler relate each of these types to etiology, age of patient at onset, clinical course, and socioeconomic impact on the population. For each type of cardiovascular disease they analyze the quantitative data on the incidence, prevalence, and levels and time trends of mortality and on the demographic characteristics of person affected. They also examine international differences in levels and trends in mortality and point out areas for further research. More than thirty-five figures as well as extensive tables document their text.

This book was released on 2013-04-12 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is among the wealthiest nations in the world, but it is far from the healthiest. Although life expectancy and survival rates in the United States have improved dramatically over the past century, Americans live shorter lives and experience more injuries and illnesses than people in other high-income countries. The U.S. health disadvantage cannot be attributed solely to the adverse health status of racial or ethnic minorities or poor people: even highly advantaged Americans are in worse health than their counterparts in other, "peer" countries. In light of the new and growing evidence about the U.S. health disadvantage, the National Institutes of Health asked the National Research Council (NRC) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to convene a panel of experts to study the issue. The Panel on Understanding Cross-National Health Differences Among High-Income Countries examined whether the U.S. health disadvantage exists across the life span, considered potential explanations, and assessed the larger implications of the findings. U.S. Health in International Perspective presents detailed evidence on the issue, explores the possible explanations for the shorter and less healthy lives of Americans than those of people in comparable countries, and recommends actions by both government and nongovernment agencies and organizations to address the U.S. health disadvantage.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After rising steadily in western societies since the turn of the century, the rate of coronary heart disease mortality has dropped sharply over the past two decades. Based on a 1986 conference held at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, this book addresses the question of why the number of deaths from heart disease has fallen. The contributors, all leading authorities in the fields of cardiology and epidemiology, review trends and variation in morbidity and mortality from coronary heart disease and in the use of clinical procedures in diagnosis, treatment and prevention. They assess the influence of medical care on the disease's prevalence, incidence, mortality, and case fatality rates. The effects of such procedures as antihypersensitive drugs, intravenous thrombolysis, cardiac pacemakers, coronary angioplasty, coronary bypass surgery, cholesterol-lowering agents, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation are examined. No fuller insight into this timely and important medical question is available.

Download or read book Promoting Cardiovascular Health in the Developing World written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-06-29 with total page 483 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cardiovascular disease (CVD), once thought to be confined primarily to industrialized nations, has emerged as a major health threat in developing countries. Cardiovascular disease now accounts for nearly 30 percent of deaths in low and middle income countries each year, and is accompanied by significant economic repercussions. Yet most governments, global health institutions, and development agencies have largely overlooked CVD as they have invested in health in developing countries. Recognizing the gap between the compelling evidence of the global CVD burden and the investment needed to prevent and control CVD, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) turned to the IOM for advice on how to catalyze change. In this report, the IOM recommends that the NHLBI, development agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and governments work toward two essential goals: creating environments that promote heart healthy lifestyle choices and help reduce the risk of chronic diseases, and building public health infrastructure and health systems with the capacity to implement programs that will effectively detect and reduce risk and manage CVD. To meet these goals, the IOM recommends several steps, including improving cooperation and collaboration; implementing effective and feasible strategies; and informing efforts through research and health surveillance. Without better efforts to promote cardiovascular health, global health as a whole will be undermined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an expanded version of the Kahn's widely used text, An Introduction to Epidemiologic Methods (Oxford, 1983). It provides clear insight into the basic statistical tools used in epidemiology and is written so that those without advanced statistical training can comprehend the ideas underlying the analytical techniques. The authors emphasize the extent to which similar results are obtained from different methods, both simple and complex. To this edition they have added a new chapter on "Comparison of Numerical Results for Various Methods of Adjustment" and also one on "The Primacy of Data Collection." New topics include the Kaplan-Meier product-limit method and the Cox proportional hazards model for analysis of time-related outcomes. An appendix of data from the Framingham Heart Study is used to illustrate the application of various analytical methods to an identical set of real data and provides source material for student exercises. The text has been updated throughout.
