11. Implantable defibrillator at end of life with emphasis on deactivation and guideline compliance
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICD) have been demonstrated to improve survival in cardiac patients with high risk for sudden death. The incidence of ICD implantations is increasing worldwide. The cause and nature of death in the ICD population has been insufficiently investigated. LÄS MER
12. Primary prevention defibrillators in clinical practice
Sammanfattning : Introduction: Guidelines for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) advocate implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy in patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Many patients are not considered for treatment and the net benefit of ICDs in real life is insufficiently studied. LÄS MER

14. Predictors of arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, and mortality in acute coronary syndrome
Sammanfattning : Background. Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) face a high risk of lethal complications, both during the hospital course and after discharge. LÄS MER
15. Heart failure : advanced treatments and novel hormonal responses
Sammanfattning : Background: Heart failure (HF) affects 2-3% of the Western population and is associated with a 1 year mortality of 20%. Despite therapeutic advances over the last decades, numerous unanswered questions remain regarding the impact of currently established therapies as well as potential new targets for therapy.
