  1. 6. Vascular Dysfunction in Stroke and CADASIL

    Författare :Anna Stenborg; Lars Lind; Andreas Terent; Toste Länne; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Internal medicine; stroke; CADASIL; endothelium; vasodilation; Invärtesmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is strongly linked to hypertension and generally occurs later in life than coronary artery disease (CAD). Three quarters of the patients with symptomatic CVD are above 65 years of age. The risk factors are the same for CVD and CAD, but the relative importance of the vascular risk factors differs greatly.

  3. 7. Cerebral Hemodynamics through Intracrnial Pressure

    Författare :Sima Shahsavari; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Intracranial dynamics; Baroreceptor reflex; Secondary brain injury; Traumatic brain injury; Collapsible tubes; Intracranial pressure; Cushing reflex; Pulse wave propagation; Cerebral autoregulation; Cerebral compliance; Mathematical modelling;

    Sammanfattning : Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) continues to be a major problem worldwide. Today, intensive care of patients with TBI is mainly focused on preventing and treating secondary brain injuries. High pressure inside the intracranial cavity has been found to be an important feature of disturbed cerebral dynamics and secondary injuries. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Small artery dysfunction : focus on preeclampsia and end-stage renal disease

    Författare :Natallia Luksha; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :resistance arteries;

    Sammanfattning : Background: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) and preeclampsia (PE) are associated with high risk of cardiovascular events and characterized by endothelial dysfunction. Resistance arteries are actively involved in the control of blood pressure and blood flow to the target organs. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Non-Invasive Measures of Heart Failure

    Författare :Mikael Kanski; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Heart failure; diagnosis; magnetic resonance imaging; blood flow; 4D flow; pulmonary blood volume; kinetic energy;

    Sammanfattning : Heart failure is a clinical syndrome characterized by an inability of the heart to meet the metabolic demands of the body. Approximately 1-2% of the population in the western society has the diagnosis, and the 5-year mortality rate is comparable with the common cancer diagnoses. LÄS MER
