  1. 11. Myocardial infarction - Risk stratification and evaluation of therapies

    Författare :Axel Wester; Kardiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; myocardial infarction; percutaneous coronary intervention; cardiac arrest; elderly; anemia; bleeding;

    Sammanfattning : Background. Myocardial infarction (MI) remains the leading cause of death worldwide, despite several advances in acute coronary care during the last decades. This thesis assessed different risk stratification tools and evaluated interventional and pharmacological treatment strategies in high-risk patients with MI. Methods. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Improving outcomes in patients with coronary heart disease using national registers and platelet function testing

    Sammanfattning : Introduction: Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. The aims of this thesis were to evaluate different contemporary approaches in coronary care with regard to mortality and myocardial infarction. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Influence of chronic kidney disease on presentation, treatment and outcome in patients with coronary artery disease

    Författare :Robert Edfors; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background. About one third of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) have renal dysfunction (RD). Concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD) and RD is accompanied by a markedly higher risk of death and subsequent cardiovascular (CV) events. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Prevention of intimal hyperplasia after balloon angioplasty and / or stent insertion. or How to mend a broken heart - Just say NO

    Författare :Jan Harnek; Kardiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system; Remodeling. Endothelium-derived factors. Self-expanding stents. Restenosis. Scanning -electron microscopy. Endothelial factors. Nitric oxide. Intimal hyperplasia. Angioplasty. Stents. Interventional procedures. Endothelium.;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Restenosis is the most frequently occurring adverse event after percutaneous intravascular treatment of atherosclerotic lesions, which limits long-term patency of the intervention. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate if minimizing vascular injury during treatment by insertion of self-expanding stents or modifying the reparative mechanisms by local drug delivery can reduce restenosis.

  7. 15. On cardiovascular complications in people with type 2 diabetes : Aspects of incretin-based therapy and glycemic control

    Författare :Irene Santos Pardo; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Hyperglycemia, insulin resistance, and the presence of advanced glycation end products are key features of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and the leading mechanisms behind the increased cardiovascular risk observed in people with this condition. Percutaneous coronary revascularization has been associated with higher risk of stent failure in people with diabetes mellitus (DM), having greater risk of both in-stent restenosis (ISR) and stent thrombosis (ST).
