16. Prehospital Diagnosis and Oxygen Treatment in ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction
Sammanfattning : IntroductionPaper I: An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was constructed to identify ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) and predict the need for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Paper II, III and IV: Studies suggest that O2 therapy may be harmful in STEMI patients. LÄS MER
17. Subclinical cardiovascular disease and health related quality of life in patients with radiographic axial spondyloarthritis
Sammanfattning : Background: Radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r-axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory rheumatic disease predominantly affecting the axial skeleton. The global prevalence of r-axSpA is between 0.1-1.4%. LÄS MER
18. Cardiac dysfunction in septic shock : Observational studies on characteristics and outcome
Sammanfattning : Background: Cardiac dysfunction is a well-known complication of sepsis, but its characteristics and consequences, especially on a longer term, remain unclear. The aim of this thesis was to study the characteristics and the implications of cardiac dysfunction for outcome in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with septic shock. LÄS MER
19. Oxidants and antioxidants in cardiovascular disease
Sammanfattning : Background Cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction and stroke, are the main reason of death in Sweden and Western Europe. High iron stores are believed to produce oxygen radicals, which is the presumed putative mechanism behind lipid peroxidation, atherosclerosis and subsequent cardiovascular disease. LÄS MER
20. Improving management of STEMI patients treated with primary PCI : Pharmacotherapy, renal function estimation and gender perspective
Sammanfattning : This thesis focused on the acute management of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in an effort to provide information that may improve outcome. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bivalirudin versus unfractionated heparin (UFH) in STEMI patients during primary PCI. LÄS MER
