		Ischaemic heart disease is a global priority of health-care policy, because of its social repercussions and its impact on the health-care system.
		Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) is an extremely frequent cause of hospitalisation and death in Spain.
		This study sought to describe the epidemiology of ischaemic heart disease and acute myocardial infarction in a cohort drawn from the population attending primary-care centres.

	Ischaemic heart disease - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ischaemic heart disease is a disease characterized by reduced blood supply to the heart.
		The coronary arteries supply blood to the heart muscle and no alternative blood supply exists, so a blockage in the coronary arteries reduces the supply of blood to heart muscle.
		Most ischaemic heart disease is caused by atherosclerosis, usually present even when the artery lumens appear normal by angiography, see IVUS.

	WebHealthCentre.com - Health Centre - Ischemic Heart Disease
		Ischaemic Heart Disease (IHD), otherwise known as Coronary Artery Disease, is a condition that affects the supply of blood to the heart.
		As the heart is the pump that supplies oxygenated blood to the various vital organs, any defect in the heart immediately affects the supply of oxygen to the vital organs like the brain, kidneys etc. This leads to the death of tissue within these organs and their eventual failure or death.
		Ischaemic Heart Disease is the most common cause of death in several countries around the world.

	Draft - Summary of Results from Ischaemic Heart Disease Study (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Ischaemic heart disease is the world's leading cause of mortality, causing an estimated 7.1 million deaths in 1999 (WHO 2000).
		Heart disease is also one of the greatest contributors to health expenditures, comprising about 10% of total health expenditures in OECD countries (Moore et al 1997; Hodgson and Cohen 1999; Mathers and Penm 1999).
		It is the nature of treatment for the acute phase of ischaemic heart disease (IHD), generally involving high-cost, high-technology procedures that makes it an ideal disease to observe patterns of technology diffusion, a major component of this study.

	Ischaemic heart-disease in a hard-water and in a soft-water area
		All the hearts were dissected and examined by T.C. who did not know the origin and other details of the specimens until after the findings had been recorded and assessments had been made.
		The prevalence of coronary disease and myocardial fibrosis in the London and Glasgow cases is shown in table III: under 30 years of age disease was minimal in both groups and such cases are not included in this table.
		There seems to be a paradox in the relation of these minerals and the arterial disease: low tissue concentration of calcium and magnesium are found in the area where disease appears earlier and is more lethal, but when disease is established the minerals are deposited in the lesions and very high values may be obtained.

		The study design was as reported previously for H pylori and ischaemic heart disease.[3] Briefly, the BUPA study is a prospective (cohort) study of 21 520 healthy professional men aged 35-64 who attended the BUPA (a private medical organisation) centre in London for a routine medical examination between 1975 and 1982.
		The established risk factors for ischaemic heart disease were, as expected, associated with ischaemic heart disease in our population,[3] and the associations were similar in magnitude to those reported in other large cohort studies.
		Examination of the association between antibody concentrations to C pneumoniae and mortality from heart disease is complicated by the fact that there is no agreed or validated cut-off point for concentrations of IgG or IgA that identifies individuals who have and have not been infected with C pneumoniae.

	Content of Magnesium in Drinking Water and Deaths from Ischaemic Heart Disease in White South Africans
		Mortality rates for acute myocardial infarction and ischaemic heart disease (IHD) of white males and females in South Africa are much higher than those in the USA, Australia, England and Wales when individuals in the 15- to 64-year age group are considered.
		Magnesium levels in the drinking water of 12 South African districts and deaths due to IHD assessed on the basis of corrected statistics for deaths apparently due to IHD in white residents were studied and a significant negative correlation was found between these two variables.
		The death rates for IHD used in the South African study were undoubtedly biased by the inclusion of patients who did not suffer from IHD but died as a result of unrelated acute cardiac arrhythmias.

		In a study published in The Lancet, researchers comparing heart disease death rates with food intake found that the highest correlation was with milk.
