1. Noninvasive characterization of patients with monomorphic ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation using the signal-averaged electrocardiogram. A study on late potentials and spectral turbulence in patients with ischemic heart disease and in healthy subjects
Sammanfattning : Many people die suddenly from sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias caused by ischemic heart disease, and the sudden death may be the first presentation of heart disease. If the patients at risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmia could be identified, some patients may be saved. LÄS MER
2. Studies on malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmias and their treatment with an implantable defibrillator
Sammanfattning : Aims: To investigate the hemodynamic, metabolic and autonomic effects of ventricular fibrillation per se during maintained circulation. To study the defibrillation threshold (DFT) and efficacy of a new and thinner ICD lead (DSP) compared with the standard lead (C). LÄS MER
3. Biomarkers of inflammation in atrial fibrillation
Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common and associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure (HF) and mortality. Inflammation is linked to AF.The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate inflammatory activity and cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in patients with AF on effective oral anticoagulation.

4. Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation : effects on rhythm, symptoms and health-related quality of life
Sammanfattning : Background: AF ablation is an increasingly used treatment in patients with AF to improve patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Atrioventricular junction ablation (AVJA) is a palliative treatment option in therapy refractory AF that improves PROs but renders the patient pacemaker dependent. LÄS MER
5. Aspects of Intraoperative Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation
Sammanfattning : Background: Increasing knowledge about mechanisms that trigger and maintain atrial fibrillation (AF) has influenced the possibilities for treatment and even cure of AF. The surgical Cox Maze III procedure is still the gold standard for the curative treatment of AF. LÄS MER
