... exercise programmes are that they appear to deliver superior improvements in several cardiovascular risk factors, fitness and performance. Depending on the design, some interval exercise programmes result in a range of benefits, even though the time commitment may be dramatically less than more traditional...

...Paul K. Hamilton; Christopher J. Lockhart; Cathy E. Quinn; Gary E. Mcveigh Most traditional cardiovascular risk factors alter the structure and/or function of arteries. An assessment of arterial wall integrity could therefore allow accurate prediction of cardiovascular risk in individuals. The term...

...Ewoud ter Avest; Anton F. H. Stalenhoef; Jacqueline de Graaf Primary prevention of CVD (cardiovascular disease) is mainly based on the assessment of individual cardiovascular risk factors. However, often, only the most important (conventional) cardiovascular risk factors are determined, and every...

...Carmine Savoia; Ernesto L. Schiffrin More than 80% of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus develop hypertension, and approx. 20% of patients with hypertension develop diabetes. This combination of cardiovascular risk factors will account for a large proportion of cardiovascular morbidity...

... above the medians at baseline ( P = 0.01 and P = 0.003 respectively), whereas no changes in UAER were seen in subjects with vWF and tPA below the medians. Subjects with high tPA were also characterized by an excess of other cardiovascular risk factors at baseline. No significant differences...

...M. CROOK; P. LUMB; V. ANDREWS; R. SWAMINATHAN 1. Serum sialic acid is a reputed cardiovascular risk factor, but the reason why this is so is not clear. We therefore studied its relationship with other known cardiovascular risk factors (particularly those associated with insulin resistance) in 100...
