Currently, automatic analyzers based on highly accurate methods can determine hematologic parameters in a fast and reliable way which is important to detect abnormalities in blood cells. In laboratories with a high care ...
Cardiovascular risk factors control is low in peripheral artery disease patients. Leukocyte count over7.8 K/mcL or neutrophil count over 4.6 K/mcL are predictors of increased risk for heart coronary disease, cerebral ...
Background There is few epidemiological data of peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in our environment. The recommendation of screening with ankle brachial index (ABI) in asymptomatic individuals is controversial. Evidence ...
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide as well as in our population. One of the main cardiovascular prevention strategies is to identify healthy patients who are at risk of ...
Introduction: Achieving optimal times of reperfusion in STEMI patients transferred for primary percutaneos coronary intervention (PCI) remains a challenge, particularly in geographically disperse regions. Our goal was to ...
Arrhythmogenic cardiac diseases are the main cause of SCD among the population under 35 years of age. Despite the improvements in genetic diagnosis, the percentage of cases that remain unexplained after genetic analysis ...
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a sudden cardiac death (SCD) associated disease characterized by the presence of polymorphic or bidirectional ventricular tachycardia during emotional or ...
Introducción: El infarto cerebral és una de las primeras causas de morbi-mortalidad en nuestra sociedad. La fibrinolisis intravenosa con activador tisular del plasminógeno es el tratamiento de elección en las primeras 4.5 ...
Ion channel mutations can cause defects on the electrical cellular activity, leading to arrhythmogenic diseases also known as channelopathies. Genetic analysis has been a useful tool to identify these mutations as the cause ...
Background. The relative efficacy of antihypertensive drugs/combinations is not well known; Identifying the most effective ones, and the patients’ characteristics associated to best performance of the drugs will improve ...
Acute myocardial infarction incidence rates are very high in those over 74, with a tendency to decrease in recent years in men and are always higher in men than in women. Mortality rates over the age of 74 are very high. ...
The sodium in 24H urine is the standard to quantify the intake. The objective is to develop a method to stimate using isolated urine sample, analyze the reliability, concordance and clinical utility. Observational, ...
Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the most frequent hereditary cause of premature coronary heart disease. The aim of this doctoral thesis is to determine the prevalence of subjects with FH phenotype (FH-P); to describe ...
Dins de les mesures en la ona espectral intrarenal, l’índex de resistivitat (IRI) és el més conegut i estudiat com relacionat amb la valoració de la disfunció renal i el seu pronòstic. Així mateix s’ha relacionat amb ...
In a small region of the island of Gran Canaria, 11 cases of sudden cardiac death (SCD) were registered in emotional or physical stress situations in young individuals between 1994 and 2007 in four seemingly unrelated ...
Brugada syndrome (SBr) is a cardiac electrical disease associated with a high susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Genetic variants in the coding regions of the SCN5A gene, which encodes for ...
The aim is to demonstrate the utility of magnetic resonance (MR) for identifying subclinical changes associated with the metabolic syndrome (MS) that contribute to increased cardiometabolic risk. The effect of MS on ...
SCUBA (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus) diving is an underwater activity that is practiced with a certain frequency in certain environments and which is very popular nowadays. In this thesis it is proved that ...
Background: Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) manifests silently as subclinical atherosclerosis before a clinical event. Disparities in ASCVD risk, particularly among underrepresented ethnic and racial groups, ...
The objectives of the thesis are to estimate the prevalence of pathological arterial stiffness (measured with the Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index –CAVI-) in a general Mediterranean population and in a Mediterranean intermediate ...
