  1. 1. Echocardiographic measurements at Takotsubo cardiomyopathy : transient left ventricular dysfunction

    Författare :Micael Waldenborg; Kent Emilsson; Ole Fröbert; Per Lindqvist; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Echocardiography; takotsubo; annulus motion; cardiac autonomic function; broken heart; diastolic; ventricular mass; concentric wall motion; Medicine; Medicin; Biomedicin; Biomedicine;

    Sammanfattning : Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a disease characterized by transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction and typical wall motion abnormalities in apical parts, without obvious signs of coronary influence. Due to its elusive natural cause and the lack of clarified pathology, further studies are needed. LÄS MER

  3. 2. 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.

  4. 3. Samhällsförändring och det ömtåliga hjärtat : En analys av samhälle, ohälsa och hjärtdödlighet i Linköping och Norrköping från 1950-tal till 2000-tal

    Författare :Björn Grip; Roger Qvarsell; Hans Nilsson; Sam Willner; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Linköping; Norrköping; Sweden; post-World War II; premature death; heart disease mortality; social change; living conditions; working life; structural change; unemployment; socio-economic conditions; health inequality;

    Sammanfattning : The study Social Change and the Fragile Heart is an analysis of contemporary history in two neighboring Swedish cities, Linköping and Norrköping. The analysis has been made from a special perspective: the changes in deaths due to heart disease in the age group 50-74 years. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Trust in a Product Development Context : Drivers, Dynamics and Consequences

    Författare :Anna Brattström; Handelshögskolan i Stockholm; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : To trust is to accept vulnerability. We need trust when we are dependent on others to achieve what we want, but cannot predict with certainty how they will act. Product development represents such a situation. This activity means to deal with profound uncertainty; creating something that has not existed before. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Pathophysiology and treatment of Takotsubo Syndrome - insights from preclinical studies

    Författare :Anwar Ali Gasim Elsied; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Takotsubo;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Background: Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), also recognized as “stress-induced cardiomyopathy (SIC)” and “broken heart syndrome”, is an acute cardiac failure syndrome characterized by transient regional ventricular akinesia or hypokinesia, and often presents similarly to acute myocardial infarction (AMI). In contrast to AMI, the characteristic regional myocardial akinesia in TTS does not involve a culprit coronary artery. LÄS MER
