1. Echocardiographic assessment of atrioventricular plane displacement, Clinical application in patients with coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation and aortic stenosis
Sammanfattning : Left atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) has been shown to correlate well with left ventricular (LV) systolic function measured as ejection fraction (EF). AVPD has also been shown to be related to diastolic performance. LÄS MER
2. Assessment of Left Ventricular Dysfunction and Remodelling by Determination of Atrioventricular Plane Displacement and Simplified Echocardiography
Sammanfattning : Heart failure is a common disease characterised by poor prognosis and frequent hospitalisations, constituting a major economic burden to society. Mortality and morbidity can be reduced by optimal treatment, requiring objective evaluation of cardiac function and anatomy. LÄS MER
3. Cardiac Long-Axis Function. Experimental and Clinical Aspects
Sammanfattning : This thesis includes both experimental and clinical projects. The experimental studies investigate pathophysiological aspects of ventricular longitudinal function and therapeutic hypothermia during acute myocardial infarction (AMI). LÄS MER
4. Diagnostic and prognostic value of cardiac magnetic resonance in patients with pulmonary hypertension
Sammanfattning : Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease with poor prognosis. The symptoms are often unspecific, which can lead to delayed diagnosis. LÄS MER
5. Cardiac Function and Aortic Valve Intervention : Echocardiographic Studies of Myocardial Recovery in Patients with Severe Aortic Valve Disease
Sammanfattning : In patients with severe aortic valve disease, aortic valve intervention is performed when the risk for mortality or morbidity with conservative management is significantly increased. Left ventricular (LV) longitudinal motion decreases before conventional echocardiographic measures such as ejection fraction, are influenced in patients with severe aortic valve disease. LÄS MER
