Product Description: The
Complete Guide to Women's Heart Health explains how gradual and
sustainable shifts in your routine, such as using just a little more
than one percent of your time each week to exercise or losing just
10 percent of your body weight, can have a far-reaching impact on
your health. With specific pointers on diet, exercise, and health
care, this book shows you how to get past the common obstacles as
well as how to make taking care of your heart easy and attainable
for the busy life you lead, at every age.
In chapters targeted for every decade of a woman's life from her 20s
to her 70s and beyond, the American Heart Association gives women
age-appropriate advice on healthy lifestyle choices and heart-health
care. Additional information addressing issues of special interest
to women and how those issues affect the heart include:
· Smoking
· Pregnancy
· Menopause and hormone therapy
· Aging
· Diabetes and other health conditions |

Product Description: This
textbook details the cardiovascular and autonomic effects of aerobic
vs. resistance exercise training on the vessels and autonomic
systems. Exercise training responses show favorable adaptations on
lowering blood pressure while additional benefits of improved blood
flow and greater autonomic control are greater benefits. The
benefits of resistance training are also shown to aid individuals
with hypertension which have not been previously elucidated. |

Product Description:
Secondhand Smoke Exposure and Cardiovascular Effects reviews
available scientific literature to assess the relationship between
secondhand smoke exposure and acute coronary events. The authors,
experts in secondhand smoke exposure and toxicology, clinical
cardiology, epidemiology, and statistics, find that there is about a
25 to 30 percent increase in the risk of coronary heart disease from
exposure to secondhand smoke. Their findings agree with the 2006
Surgeon General's Report conclusion that there are increased risks
of coronary heart disease morbidity and mortality among men and
women exposed to secondhand smoke. However, the authors note that
the evidence for determining the magnitude of the relationship
between chronic secondhand smoke exposure and coronary heart disease
is not very strong. |

Product Description:
"Cardiovascular Solid Mechanics: Cells, Tissues, and Organs" is a
vital resource for courses on cardiovascular solid mechanics or soft
tissue biomechanics. Focusing on the response of the heart and blood
vessels to mechanical loads from the perspective of nonlinear solid
mechanics, its primary goal is to integrate basic analytical,
experimental, and computational methods to offer a more complete
understanding of the underlying mechanobiology. While dealing
primarily with cardiovascular mechanics, both the fundamental
methods and many of the specific results are applicable to many
different soft tissues, making this book an excellent general
introduction to soft tissue biomechanics overall. Divided into three
parts, "Cardiovascular Solid Mechanics" presents a practical and
rational approach to biomechanics. Part I, "Foundations," briefly
reviews historical points of interest, basic molecular and cell
biology, and histology, and gives an overview of sift tissue
mechanics. In order to provide not only a working framework, but
also to give key references for those who wish to develop and extend
biomechanics, included are mathematical preliminaries and salient
results from continuum mechanics, finite elasticity, experimental
mechanics, and finite elements. |

Product Description:
Although cardiac output is measured as the flow of blood from the
left ventricle into the aorta, the system that controls cardiac
output includes many other components besides the heart itself. The
heart's rate of output cannot exceed the rate of venous return to
it, and therefore, the factors governing venous return are primarily
responsible for control of output from the heart. Venous return is
affected by its pressure gradient and resistance to flow throughout
the vascular system. The pressure gradient for venous return is a
function of several factors including the blood volume flowing
through the system, the unstressed vascular volume of the
circulatory system, its capacitance, mean systemic pressure, and
right atrial pressure. Resistance to venous return is the sum of
total vascular resistance from the aortic valve to the right atrium.
The sympathetic nervous system and vasoactive circulating hormones
affect short-term resistance, whereas local tissue blood flow
autoregulatory mechanisms are the dominant determinants of long-term
resistance to venous return. |

Product Description:
Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a branch of rehabilitation medicine
dealing with optimising physical function in patients with cardiac
diseases. CR services are generally provided in an outpatient
setting as comprehensive, long-term programs involving medical
evaluation, prescribed exercise, cardiac risk factor modification,
education and counselling. While the 'glue' of cardiac
rehabilitation is exercise, programs are evolving to become
comprehensive prevention centres where all aspects of preventive
cardiology care are delivered. This includes nutritional therapies,
weight loss programs, management of lipid abnormalities with diet
and medication, blood pressure control, diabetes management and
stress management. |

Product Description: The
seven papers of this volume present a glimpse into current research
on soft tissue mechanics as well as some future directions. The
seven papers concern tissues within the cardiovascular system: three
focus on arteries, three on the heart, and one on biaxial testing of
planar tissues such as heart valves. Given that cardiovascular
disease continues to be the leading cause of death in the developed
world, the importance of such research is clear. There are notable
common features of the seven papers. First, most of the proposed
constitutive relations are motivated directly by data on the
underlying microstructure, and especially the orientations of a
structurally important protein (collagen) that forms as undulated
cross-linked fibers. Another feature of most of the papers is the
consideration of the fact that both arteries and the heart contain
muscle and that there is a need to quantify the so-called active
(contractile) response in addition to the passive (non-contractile)
response. |
