1. 11. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation : prognostic implications

   Författare :Leif Friberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on data from the Stockholm Cohort on Atrial Fibrillation (SCAF). This cohort consists of all 2912 patients with atrial fibrillation or flutter who were treated as in or outpatients at South Hospital in Stockholm or at Gustavsberg Primary Care Centre during 2002.

3. 12. Atrial fibrillation – on its trigger mechanisms, risks and consequences

   Författare :Dritan Poci; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :acute coronary syndromes; atrial fibrillation; AV junctional ablation; CHADS2 score; electrical cardioversion; mortality; stroke; trigger mechanisms;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) frequently impairs quality of life, but in long-term it is associated with an increased morbidity and mortality. Persistent AF may cause changes in the sinus node function, and if converted to sinus rhythm (SR), there is a substantial risk of recurrence of AF. LÄS MER

4. 13. The Role of Transesophageal Echocardiography in Clinical Decision-Making in Patients with Stroke or Atrial Fibrillation

   Författare :Anders Roijer; Kardiologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system; stroke; cardioversion; Transesophageal echocardiography; embolic sources; atrial fibrillation;

   Sammanfattning : The subject of this thesis is the clinical use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) in patients with stroke or atrial fibrillation. Subjects were examined with echocardiography and sonography of the carotid artery. A control group of randomly selected volunteers without cerebrovascular disease was compared to patients with ischemic stroke. LÄS MER

5. 14. Cardiac involvement in familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy

   Författare :Peter Eriksson; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; amyloidosis; arrhythmias; cardiac pacing; cardiac radionuclide; imaging; echocardiography; electrocardiography; pathology;

   Sammanfattning : Familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (FAP) is a neuropathic form of heredofamilial systemic amyloidosis. Clusters of patients have been reported predominantly from Portugal, Japan and Sweden. The present study examines the involvement of the heart in individuals with the Swedish variety of FAP. LÄS MER

7. 15. Ventricular fibrillation and defibrillation in patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators

   Författare :Mikael Runsiö; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :ventricular fibrillation; defibrilla~ion; implantable cardioverter defibrillator; haemodynamic; metabolism; hyperaemia; ischaemia; myocardial injury; histamine; neuropeptide 1: noradrenaline; endothelin; histamine; positron emission tomography.;

   Sammanfattning : Since the introduction of the implantable cardioverter defibrillator for humans with malignant ventricular arrhythmias in 1980, over 50, 000 patients world wide have received this device. The implantation procedure is simple and resembles the implantation of an ordinary pacemaker. LÄS MER
