Functional capacity and quality of life in middle-age men and women with high and low number of metabolic risk factors.

Abstract:

:It is not clear if men and women with high numbers of risk factors (HiMF) for metabolic syndrome (MetS) have impaired capacities to perform activities of daily living (ADL's) and lower quality of life (QoL) in the absence of symptomatic heart disease. Our results indicate that in women there is a correlation between the number of risk factors and the capacity to perform ADL's and QoL. This was not evident for men. These findings may partly explain why women tend to consult healthcare practitioners earlier in the disease process than men.

  • The Venture-balloon crush technique to treat a severely angulated bifurcation lesion via the radial approach--lessons learned.

    abstract::We present the first described use of the Venture (St. Jude Medical Inc.) catheter to accomplish balloon crush stenting of a severely angulated bifurcation via the radial approach. We outline the lessons learned and pitfalls of performing percutaneous intervention to severely angulated bifurcations such as this one. ...
