JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY & CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPY Abstract The main biological function of the lipids includes storing energy, signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membrane. Lipids, such as cholesterol and triglycerides, are insoluble in plasma and circulating lipids are carried in lipoproteins to various tissues for energy utilization, lipid deposition, steroid hormone production, and bile acid formation. This review article will present the different types, functions and metabolism of the lipids. Keywords: Lipid profile; Cholesterol; HDL; VLDL; LDL Cholesterol Cholesterol is designated as 3-betahydroxy-5, 6-cholestene. Cholesterol is widely distributed in all the cells of the body, particularly abundant in nervous tissues. Higher concentration of cholesterol is found in brain, liver, kidney, adipose tissue and suprarenal glands in both free and esterified forms. In plasma, esterified form comprises 65-75% and

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY & CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPY Abstract Both dietary salt and sugar are related to blood pressure (BP) and hypertension. The evidence for salt was initially considered stronger, and various types of studies have consistently shown that salt is a major cause of raised BP, and a reduction from the current intake of between 9-12g/day in most countries of the world to a recommended level of no more than 6 gram (i.e. 2.5 grams of sodium) on a daily basis (an approximate of 1 teaspoon of salt per day) will lower BP in both hypertensive and normotensive individuals, in men and women of all age groups and in all the black and the Caucasians. The physiology by which salt raises causes hypertension has to do with the kidney using a delicate balance of sodium and potassium to pull water across a wall of cells from the bloodstream into a collecting channel that leads to the bladder. A high salt intake raises the amount of sodiu

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY & CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPY Keywords: Aerobic exercise; Cardiac output; Maximal oxygen uptake Coronary Artery Disease Considerations A systematic review estimated that inactivity is responsible for 6% of the burden of disease from coronary heart disease worldwide [1]. CAD influence on work capacity and physical performance has been widely investigated. Myocardial functional changes include declines in maximum heart rate, stroke volume, left ventricular contractility and an increase in peripheral vascular resistance. Oxygen demand and supply for the Myocardium are normally balanced. Oxygen demand above quiescent needs of the Myocardium is determined by number of factors: Heart rate-the greater the frequency of contractions, the greater the oxygen demand. Myocardial wall tension is a function of both left ventricular systolic pressure and the ventricular radius [2]. The contractility of the heart-relates to the

JUNIPER PUBLISHERS-OPEN ACCESS JOURNAL OF CARDIOLOGY & CARDIOVASCULAR THERAPY Abstract Background: Full median sternotomy has been a standard surgical approach for heart surgery for more than 50 years. Several advantages increasing the use of less invasive approaches to the mitral valve surgery including, cosmetic, blood product use, respiratory, and pain advantages over conventional surgery. Parasternal incision, right mini-thoracotomy and partial sternotomy are described approaches for less invasive cardiac surgery. Objective: Comparing the standard approach via conventional median sternotomy vs. less invasive approach via upper partial sternotomy. Methods: Sixty patients, underwent mitral valve replacement with or without tricuspid valve repair in NHI, were enrolled in this study and divided into two equal groups, Group I via conventional median sternotomy (CMS), and Group II via upper partial sternotomy (UPS). The preoperative characteristics, operative
