Modified Algorithm for the Risk of Coronary Heart Disease Estimation

Abstract: Introduction:Determination of the overall risk of coronary disease, enables the health professionals for planning the intensity of preventive action.Aim:The aim of this study is that by the results obtained using a modified algorithm with tables adopted by the European Society of Cardiology demonstrate the possibilities for assessment of the risk of coronary heart disease degree, for application to the targeted individual or risk factors groups.Material and methods:The study was conducted as a retrospective, p… Show more

“…The fact that the air temperature is associated with increased risk for ACS creates a presumption that the cold weather cause changes in blood pressure, as well as the traditional eating habits with a higher intake of salt and lipids of animal origin during the winter months, which can lead to changes in metabolism, and ultimately affect the mechanisms of atherogenesis, coagulation and thrombogenesis ( 13 - 16 ). It is also possible that the influence of days duration and lack of sunlight, or ultraviolet light (UV) in these months, in order to stimulate the synthesis of vitamin D3 in the skin and liposoluble cholesterol sulfate whose deficiency can influence the absence of metabolic sulfate also favor inflammation and atherosclerosis, and be the cause of higher incidence of acute coronary syndromes and increased mortality during winter ( 22 - 25 ). Less known is that under the influence of UV light, releases carbon monoxide in connection with hemoglobin that has a vasodilatory effect.…”
