Download or read book Ethnic Diversities Hypertension and Global Cardiovascular Risk written by Pietro Amedeo Modesti and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-27 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the context of the most significant influx of migrants in European history, the objective of this book is to provide healthcare professionals with essential knowledge and skills to effectively treat and prevent cardiovascular diseases in ethnic minorities. Acknowledging that the scientific and cultural training of health professionals on the specific health needs of minority groups is still limited and likely biased, the book sheds light on the different health policies in European countries as well as epidemiologic data on cardiovascular events among migrants. In addition, it presents an in-depth analysis of potential ethnic-group-specific drivers of global cardiovascular risk within this new and challenging framework – as well as issues related to its prevention and treatment. The prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, obesity, and metabolic syndrome is found to be higher among most minority groups than in the native population, yet their access to treatment and health services may be limited by cultural and language barriers. As health professionals are confronted with such intercultural challenges on a daily basis, specific training and dedicated publications are thus essential to accompany and foster a constructive development towards a pluralist and healthier society. This book addresses that need, offering a unique and revealing resource.

Download or read book Characterization of the Spectrum of Cardiac Adaptation to Endurance Exercise written by María Sanz de la Garza and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The beneficial impact of regular physical activity on cardiovascular health is well established. However, the ideal amount of exercise required to provide these benefits is not well defined, with some recent reports showing no further cardiovascular benefits and even detrimental effects when performing exercise with high training loads, particularly for endurance sports disciplines. Indeed, during the last two decades, an increasing amount of data has related high endurance training loads with an increased susceptibility for atrial arrhythmias as well as with a detrimental right ventricle remodelling. In our study, we analysed structural and functional acute changes after an endurance race at three different distances and demonstrated a dose-response relationship between endurance exercise "doses" and acute impairment in right ventricular (RV) and atrial performance without left ventricle involvement. However, high interindividual variability was observed between participants performing the same amount of exercise. We identified different patterns of RV and atrial adaptation to exercise and highlighted RV diastolic dysfunction at rest as a potential early sign of RV maladaptation to exercise. Although we could not determine if these acute RV and atrial changes induced by a bout of endurance exercise would persist or are reversible, our experimental model of long-term endurance exercise showing impairment in RV performance promoted by very high endurance training loads suggested that, independently of individual factors, there is a threshold for safe exercise, determined by both intensity and duration, beyond which cardiac adaptation might be no longer benign but become deleterious. Additionally, we observed that the RV segments showed different adaptations to exercise, with the basal segment playing the major role in increasing stroke volume during exercise but also, due to its thinner wall and bigger cavity, being more vulnerable to the exercise-induced high wall stress, compared to the RV apex. Finally, we showed that long-term endurance training promoted a similar cardiac remodelling in both men and women. However, male athletes had larger right heart cavities and lower atrial and ventricular deformation values, compared to female athletes. These results imply that the right heart cavities of male athletes work under different conditions in maintaining RV and atrial stroke volume, with larger volumes and lower myocardial deformation. Thus, they are provided with an enhanced functional reserve during exercise but also work with increased atrial and RV wall stress. The mechanism underlying these gender-related differences in atrial and RV remodelling in response to exercise and the clinical significance of the findings warrant further investigation -- TDX.

Download or read book The ESC Textbook of Sports Cardiology written by Antonio Pelliccia and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-14 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sports and exercise have been intensely advocated as protective lifestyle measures which prevent or reduce the risk of severe health issues, including cardiovascular disease. More extreme forms of sports (for instance at high altitudes) have been identified as an important way of promoting cardiovascular adaptation, but have also been associated with adverse effects and even major cardiovascular events in predisposed individuals. Participating in more commonplace sports and exercise, such as football, may also increase a person's risk of cardiac events. This publication is timely in the light of a burgeoning number of clinical papers in the field. The ESC Textbook of Sports Cardiology provides an overview of the detection and treatment of cardiovascular disease in elite athletes and young sports professionals in training, as well as prevention. It will be useful for clinical cardiologists, sports physicians, and general physicians alike. Split into 11 key areas in sports cardiology, ranging from sudden cardiac death in athletes to the most common cardiovascular abnormalities seen in athletes, and to the effects of substance abuse and doping, the text is an invaluable resource covering all aspects of sports cardiology. Access to the digital version of the textbook is included with purchase of the printed version. Highly illustrated with embedded multimedia features, together with cross-referenced links to related content and primary research data in major journals in the field, the digital version provides users with a dynamic and forward-thinking resource. The ESC Textbook of Sports Cardiology is the second textbook from the European Association of Preventive Cardiology (EAPC) and aligns with ESC clinical practice guidelines and EAPC recommendations and position papers.

Download or read book Critical Perspectives on Racial and Ethnic Differences in Health in Late Life written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-10-16 with total page 753 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their later years, Americans of different racial and ethnic backgrounds are not in equally good-or equally poor-health. There is wide variation, but on average older Whites are healthier than older Blacks and tend to outlive them. But Whites tend to be in poorer health than Hispanics and Asian Americans. This volume documents the differentials and considers possible explanations. Selection processes play a role: selective migration, for instance, or selective survival to advanced ages. Health differentials originate early in life, possibly even before birth, and are affected by events and experiences throughout the life course. Differences in socioeconomic status, risk behavior, social relations, and health care all play a role. Separate chapters consider the contribution of such factors and the biopsychosocial mechanisms that link them to health. This volume provides the empirical evidence for the research agenda provided in the separate report of the Panel on Race, Ethnicity, and Health in Later Life.
