Synopsis: |
Factors such as high level of serum cholesterol, hypertension and smoking have been known for over 30 years to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. However other risk factors do exist, upon which further research is necessary. The subjects covered include nutritional factors, such as plant foods and antioxidants, and metabolic factors including new lipoprotein phenotypes, insulin resistance and homocysteine. Special attention is given to cardiovascular disease in women in relation to the use of hormone replacement therapy and the possible resulting increase in the risk of endometrial and breast cancer. Areas for further research are also identified. |
