	Jahrbuch-CD der MPG 2003 - Premature circulatory disease m
		Increasing mortality from ischemic heart disease and from cerebrovascular disorders are the biggest components of the overall increase in mortality from circulatory diseases in Russia.
		Increases in circulatory disease mortality among men were greater than for women, and tended to occur at younger ages.
		Further, proportional mortality analyses on individual death records from the Udmurt Republic show that the risk of death at working ages from circulatory diseases is significantly elevated in people with low levels of education, although for men the educational gradient is stronger for external causes (accidents, homicides, suicides) and alcohol-related conditions.

		This disease is caused by the accumulation of plaque (atherosclerosis) on the vessel walls.
		As with coronary artery disease, plaque formation in the peripheral vascular system is more likely to occur in those patients with a history of high blood pressure, diabetes, increased cholesterol levels, and smoking.
		Carotid artery disease involves the vessels leading to the head and brain and is also referred to as cerebrovascular disease.

	Circulatory system
		The circulatory system of arthropods and most mollusks is open, meaning that there are no capillaries and veins: one or more hearts pump the blood (more properly called hemolymph in this case) through the arteries to spaces called sinuses which surround the organs, allowing the tissues to exchange materials with the hemolymph.
		The circulatory systems of all vertebrates, as well as of annelids (for example, earthworms) and cephalopods (squids and octopuses) are closed, meaning that the blood never leaves the system of blood vessels consisting of arteries, capillaries and veins..
		The circulatory system of the fetus is different, as the fetus does not use its lungs yet and obtains oxygen and nutrients from the placenta through the umbilical cord.

	Raynaud's Disease: Circulatory Disorder of the Hands and Feet
		Raynaud's disease (also called Raynaud’s phenomenon, Raynaud’s syndrome, or white finger disease) is a circulatory disorder of the very small arteries that supply oxygen and nutrients to the skin.

		Crude counts and age-standardized rates for all circulatory disease deaths; ischemic heart disease deaths; cerebrovascular disease deaths; all other circulatory disease deaths; all respiratory disease deaths; pneumonia and influenza deaths; bronchitis, emphysema and asthma deaths; and all other respiratory disease deaths.
		The crude death (or disease) rate is the number of deaths (or disease cases) divided by the number of people in the population.
		This rate depicts the “true” picture of death /disease in a community although it is greatly influenced by the age structure of the population.

	Buerger's Disease- Treatment and Information
		Buerger's disease is a circulatory disease that is brought on by chronic inflammation of the blood vessels in the extremities.
		Early signs of Buerger’s disease are a tingling sensation like "pin pricks" and a burning sensation in the fingers and toes.
		Another serious circulatory condition is Raynaud's phenomenon, which is characterized by constriction and spasm of the blood vessels in the body extremities, like fingers, toes, and tip of the nose.

	Teaching Brief® - MedPage Today
		Circulatory disorders were of two sorts: central disorders (hypertension, myocardial infarction, angina, stroke, or heart failure) and peripheral disease (peripheral vascular disease, intermittent claudication, venous thrombosis, or varicosity).
		In addition, unlike smokers with central disease, those with a single peripheral disease ailment were unlikely to quit (OR 0.99; 95% CI 0.73-1.33).
		To explain the persistence of smoking even among those with diseases linked to smoking, the investigators suggested that denial and a need to minimize the health threat might be a possibility.

		The rate of coronary heart disease death dropped by 8% between 2003 and 2004 from 1,204 per million population to 1,104 per million.
		However, circulatory disease remains the biggest killer, responsible for 37% of all deaths.
		Heart and circulatory disease is still the UK's biggest killer, and while the number dying from heart disease is falling, the number living with it is increasing - now around 2.6 million in the UK.

		This is especially important because coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death among people with older-onset or type 2 diabetes, accounting for about 40% of all deaths.
		The results indicate that the risk of death from coronary heart disease was significantly lower among older-onset diabetics who consumed alcohol compared to those who had never consumed alcohol.
		These findings support the overwhelming and growing body of scientific research indicating that moderate consumption of alcohol is associated with lower levels of coronary heart disease as well as with better health and greater longevity.

	Vascular Disease Screening
		Dr. Flinn says it's important to understand that vascular disease outside the heart does occur in a variety of different locations -- the carotid arteries in the neck, the aorta, the arteries in the legs and arms and even disease in the veins.
		Flinn says that carotid artery disease, PAD and aortic aneurysms are probably the three most serious non-cardiac vascular diseases that afflict Americans and "those are certainly the ones that produce the most potential for death and disability."
		Carotid artery disease typically occurs when the carotid arteries, the main blood vessels to the brain, develop a buildup of plaque caused by atherosclerosis, or a hardening of the arteries.

	The Circulatory System
		This is the commonest valve disease in adult dogs, and consists of progressive thickening and twisting (scrolling) of the valve leaflets.
		This causes no circulatory problems, but the ductus arteriosus (the remnant of the shunt which causes problems in P.D.A) now crosses the oesophagus, and so swallowing is affected (megaoesophagus develops).
		Having said this, it is important to understand that the circulatory system is closed, so sooner or later, it all goes wrong together, and it is usual for one type of failure to lead to others.

		Ischemic heart disease results from an impediment to circulation that deprives the heart of adequate blood supply.
		Ischemic heart disease can develop gradually from atherosclerosis, in which deposits on the walls of coronary arteries restrict blood flow to the heart muscle, or it can result from a thrombus, or clot, that suddenly blocks a coronary artery.
		From a public health perspective, the impact of cardiovascular disease attributable to OC use is slight, particularly since most OC users are young and do not have other risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
