Cardiologist
Cardiology () is a branch of medicine that deals with disorders of the heart and the cardiovascular system. The field includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease and electrophysiology. Physicians who specialize in this field of medicine are called cardiologists, a specialty of internal medicine. Pediatric cardiologists are pediatricians who specialize in cardiology. Physicians who specialize in cardiac surgery are called cardiothoracic surgeons or cardiac surgeons, a specialty of general surgery. Specializations All cardiologists study the disorders of the heart, but the study of adult and child heart disorders each require different training pathways. Therefore, an adult cardiologist (often simply called "cardiologist") is inadequately trained to take care of children, and pediatric cardiologists are not trained to treat adult heart disease. Surgical aspects are not included in car ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Heart Disease
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels. CVD includes coronary artery diseases (CAD) such as angina and myocardial infarction (commonly known as a heart attack). Other CVDs include stroke, heart failure, hypertensive heart disease, rheumatic heart disease, cardiomyopathy, abnormal heart rhythms, congenital heart disease, valvular heart disease, carditis, aortic aneurysms, peripheral artery disease, thromboembolic disease, and venous thrombosis. The underlying mechanisms vary depending on the disease. It is estimated that dietary risk factors are associated with 53% of CVD deaths. Coronary artery disease, stroke, and peripheral artery disease involve atherosclerosis. This may be caused by high blood pressure, smoking, diabetes mellitus, lack of exercise, obesity, high blood cholesterol, poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption, and poor sleep, among other things. High blood pressure is estimated to account for approximatel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
St Andrew's Church, Totteridge
St Andrew's is the Church of England church for Totteridge in north London. It is located in the Diocese of St Albans, one of the few churches in Greater London to have this distinction. History The church was probably first mentioned in 1250, in a document which records Totteridge Church as belonging to St Etheldreda's, Hatfield from whence it took its dedication. St Etheldreda was born near Newmarket in Suffolk about the year 630 and was the daughter of the Christian king of East Anglia. Over the years, the dedication was corrupted to St Audrey's and wills from the time of the Protestant Reformation refer to the Church by both names. Then at some time between the Reformation and the late 17th century the dedication changed to St Andrew possibly when only biblical saints were in favour and when the written word “Audrey” might well be transcribed as “Andrew” without any objection. In 1650 the Commonwealth Commissioners recommended that Totteridge Church should be deta ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Totteridge
Totteridge is a residential area and former village in the London Borough of Barnet, England. It is a mixture of suburban development and open land (including some farmland) situated 8 miles (13 km) north north-west of Charing Cross. It is part of the Whetstone postal district (N20). It gives its name to a ward in the borough and to the ''St Andrew, Totteridge'' ecclesiastical parish of the Diocese of St Albans. History This area was called Tataridge in the 13th century. It may have been named after someone called Tata. The ridge is the high ground between the valleys of the Dollis Brook and Folly Brook. Over the centuries the rural qualities of Totteridge have attracted well-to-do families. Cardinal Manning was born at Copped Hall in Totteridge in 1808. With the opening of the Great Northern Railway station in 1872, late- Victorian and Edwardian mansions were built around the old village. In line with overall trends in the late 1930s, following the conversion of t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
