Biomarkers And Prediction Of Disease

Body composition provides an overall assessment of health and it is important in assessing an individual’s risk of developing diseases such as diabetes, high blood, obesity and some forms of cancer. Body composition indicates the proportion of essential fats and non-essential fats in the body (ACSM, 2012). An optimal health range has been established based on the difference in age, sex, height and weight. Individuals above the established range are at increased risk of developing high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity (ACSM, 2012). While, individuals below the established range are more likely to interrupt the delivery of key vitamins and nutrients to the cells of the body as well as adversely affect the proper functioning of their reproductive

Ms. Sunshine had blood work sent known as cardiac markers. The labs individually are creatine phosphokinase (CPK), CPK-MB (a type of CPK specific to myocardium), and troponin.

The two priority problems for Mr. George are Hypertension and Diabetes (hyperglycemia). It has been demonstrated that arterial hypertension is major important determinant of heart diseases. The pathogenesis of hypertension is linked with multiple factors that include dietary, genetic, and patterns of lifestyle. The biological factors that determine hypertension include: atherosclerosis, resistance to insulin; hyper-responsiveness towards adrenalin based stimuli and dysfunction of endothelial cells. It was studied that the evidence suggests that decrease in the ratio of prevalence of high blood pressure gives rise to reduced ratio of cardiovascular related mortalities. It can be achieved through intervention with suitable medical therapy (Villalpando et al., 2010).

When used in healthcare, genetic testing can show the genetic cause of a disease, confirm a suspected diagnosis of an illness, predict future illnesses, and predict responses to

The American Heart Association did this by linking an increase of cholesterol in the blood to

The Merck Manual (2013) highlights the serum lipid profile as the most common diagnostic tool to identify hyperlipidaemia. This measures the total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDLs, LDLs and VLDLs. However, the test should be conducted after the illness has been treated because triglycerides, lipoproteins and cholesterol may be lower due to the body being in an inflammatory state. If there are high LDL levels, lipoprotein(a) and C-reactive protein levels can also be measured in the blood. Those with high triglyceride levels may also have LDL particle number or apoprotein B-100 measurements taken.

Results provided through genetic testing enables doctors to be more informed in terms of their patients; allows regular screening practices, or treatment planning at early stages.

In gathering my information during the course of my research I have identified three effective approaches that will improve cardiovascular health, these to promote appropriate screening

We’ve known in medical circles for nearly 20 years that HRR is a useful index of cardiovascular fitness. The whole area of HRR and its clinical implications is a subject of current investigation, but it is well established that HRR is a strong predictor of both cardiovascular-related and all-cause mortality in healthy adults.

Cardiovascular disease is the world's public health enemy number one, and Coronary atherosclerosis is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among all cardiovascular diseases, it costs a huge amount of medical and social resources each year and seriously affects the public health and life. With the development of society, the cardiovascular disease in developed and developing countries is the main health issues, so how to accurately distinguish between high-risk groups, and further evaluate the risk stratification and prognosis of the population is extremely important. Our study found that PDW, MPV, and P-LCR changes were positively correlated with coronary heart disease, both for patients with stable or unstable coronary heart disease

The presence of acute coronary syndrome in some patients served to increase lipid output, making it difficult to clearly determine lipid disorders in some patients. This is an issue of concern because high lipid levels are a hallmark for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome.

The primary principle is to detect high cholesterol early in this population of patients. Early proper treatment could result in, evading the large expense of a massive MI.

The theory is simple: get the heart working hard so it needs more blood, and you will be able to detect partial blockages in the coronary arteries. Unfortunately, exercise tests are not accurate for healthy people with a low mobility of coronary disease.As for myself, I try to use an exercise program to reduce my personal risk for heart disease. I walk thirty minutes a night with my son, and buy foods that are low in fat. I have a low sodium intake, in fact i never really use salt at all in my cooking. I do not smoke, and try to avoid second hand smoke.

important test of an individuals physical health since unhealthy levels can lead to heart attacks,

Studies have been conducted on the pathogenesis of the Coronary heart disease and most of these studies have highlighted metabolism mechanism of fats. The studies have revealed that as there is a need to feed special diets to the patients with Coronary heart disease; these diets are to be designed in a way that the level of total blood lipid can be maintained within the healthier limits (Vlodaver, 2012, p. 45). It has been observed that if the daily intake of fat in the Coronary heart disease patients is limited to 50gm, than the maintenance of total bloody lipid levels can be assured.
