Ebook "Minerals and lipids profiles in cardiovascular disorders in South Asia: Cu, Mg, Se, Zn and lipid serum profiles for the example of patients in Pakistan" correlates different minerals and lipids serum profiles with the prevalence of cardiovascular disorders in South Asian countries with special emphasis on Pakistan. Cardiovascular disorders (CVD, e.g. coronary heart diseases, hypertension, rheumatic heart disease, angina, heart failure and deep vein thrombosis) show significantly increasing rates in South Asian countries like Pakistan and have become a major health problem.

Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is commonly seen in people from developing and low-income countries. More cases are being recorded in developed countries due to migration and globalization. RHD develops in people with a history of rheumatic fever; it is an autoimmune response to group A streptococcal infection due to similarities at the molecular level.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a severe rheumatic disease of the interstitial tissue, in which heart and lung involvement can lead to disease-specific mortality. Our study tests the hypothesis that in addition to established prognostic factors, cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) parameters, particularly peak oxygen uptake (peakVO2) and ventilation/carbon dioxide (VE/VCO2)-slope, can predict survival in patients with SSc.

Rheumatic fever (RF) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD) are nonsuppurative complications of Group A streptococcal pharyngitis due to a delayed immune response. Although RF and RHD are rare in developed countries, they are still major public health problems among children and young adults in developing countries (1–6). The economic effects of the disability and premature death caused by these diseases are felt at both the individual and national levels through higher direct and indirect health-care costs....

Children who have congenital heart defects or who have rheumatic heart disease may develop infective endocarditis in which the endocardial tissue is infected by organisms such as Streptococcus viridans, Staphylococcus aureus, or Staphylococcus epidermidus. The child presents with general malaise, arthralgia, fever, splenomegaly and the signs of their underlying heart disease. The classical signs of splinter haemorrhages, petechiae, haemorrhagic lesions (Janeway lesions), tender Osler’s nodes, or Roth’s spots (retinal haemorrhage) are not always seen in children.

The most important treatment of acute rheumatic fever is prevention, associated with improvements in socioeconomic conditions. Once acute rheumatic fever has occurred, treatment includes penicillin to eradicate the streptococcal infection, high dose aspirin as an anti-inflammatory drug, or steroids if the cardiac disease is severe. Heart failure is treated with diuretics, and urgent heart valve replacement may occasionally be required.

Rheumatic fever is uncommon in the developed world, but still occurs with an incidence of 1-2/1000 in developing countries. Rheumatic fever is due to an abnormal immune response to the Lancefield Group A streptococcus (Streptococcus pyogenes), which results in a pancarditis that may lead to permanent damage to the heart and heart valves. The left sided valves are most commonly affected, the mitral valve more commonly than the aortic valve. Mitral regurgitation is seen initially; mitral stenosis may develop over time.

Heart disease is one of several cardiovascular diseases, which are diseases of the heart and blood vessel system. Other cardiovascular diseases include stroke, high blood pressure, and rheumatic heart disease. One reason some women aren’t too concerned about heart disease is that they think it can be “cured” with surgery. This is a myth. Heart disease is a lifelong condition—once you get it, you’ll always have it. True, procedures such as bypass surgery and angioplasty can help blood and oxygen flow to the heart more easily.

Group A Streptococci Lancefield's group A consists of a single species, S. pyogenes. As its species name implies, this organism is associated with a variety of suppurative infections. In addition, GAS can trigger the postinfectious syndromes of ARF (which is uniquely associated with S. pyogenes infection; Chap. 315) and PSGN (Chap. 277). Worldwide, GAS infections and their postinfectious sequelae (primarily ARF and rheumatic heart disease) account for an estimated 500,000 deaths per year.
