Our Time: A Call to Save Preventable Death From Cardiovascular Disease (Heart Disease and Stroke)

Reductions in ambulatory blood pressure in young normotensive men and women after isometric resistance training and its relationship with cardiovascular reactivity

“…As the population ages, expands, and globalizes, disease patterns are shifting and noncommunicable diseases, like cardiovascular disease (CVD), are becoming more common [1].…”

Is this back pain killing me? All‐cause and cardiovascular‐specific mortality in older Danish twins with spinal pain

“…For instance, older adults aged ≥70 years reporting LBP appeared to be at risk of increased mortality (Zhu et al, 2007;Docking et al, 2015), while there was more uncertainty in cohorts that included both young and old adults, with one study showing an impact on longevity due to LBP and NP (Jordan and Croft, 2010), whereas other studies showed no effect (Heli€ ovaara et al, 1995;K areholt and Brattberg, 1998). Apart from allcause mortality, the conflictive relationship with spinal pain extends to cardiovascular mortality, the number one cause of death globally (Smith et al, 2012). A number of studies have shown an increased mortality risk associated with cardiovascular diseases in people with a history of LBP (Penttinen, 1994), regional and widespread pain (McBeth et al, 2009), while other studies have not found a relationship (Heli€ ovaara et al, 1995;Penttinen, 1995).…”

Reference values assessment in a Mediterranean population for small dense low-density lipoprotein concentration isolated by an optimized precipitation method

“…The accuracy in the diagnosis will decrease cardiovascular events as patients will benefit from more effective treatment 30. Although CVD mortality rates are lower in the southern countries of Europe, frequently considered to be a consequence of the Mediterranean diet, in Spain the hazard ratio estimated for CVD is 0.89% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.71–1.12)31 and for AD is 5.7% 19.…”
