  1. 31. Surgical treatment in chronic aortic regurgitation : Timing, results, prognosis and left ventricular function

    Författare :Éva Tamás; Christian Olin; Eva Nylander; Mats Broqvist; Dan Lindblom; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aortic regurgitation; left ventricular function; exercise; physical capacity; echocardiography; Thoracic surgery; Thoraxkirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) of varying degree affects 13% of men and 8.5% of women. In persons with severe AR, the expected length of life and its quality are influenced. LÄS MER

  3. 32. Structural, functional and metabolic effects of growth hormone on nomal and failing heart

    Författare :Entela Bollano; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; growth hormone; myocardial infarction; echocardiography; magnetic resonance spectroscopy; left ventricular remodelling;

    Sammanfattning : The growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor I (GH/IGF-I) system plays an important role for cardiac development, structure and function. Recently, data from experimental and clinical studies have suggested the use of GH as treatment after myocardial infarction (MI) affecting cardiac remodeling and development of heart failureThe aim of this thesis was to study the effects of GH on cardiac structure, function and energy metabolism in normal and failing heart.

  4. 33. Left ventricular dysfunction in critically ill patients

    Författare :Oscar Cavefors; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Left ventricular dysfunction; Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction; hsTNT; NT-proBNP; Coronary angiography; Regional wall motion abnormalities; Takotsubo syndrome; Septic cardiomyopathy; MINOCA; Cardiac disease; Intensive care unit; Echocardiography;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Background: Cardiac dysfunction is common in Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients and can contribute to multiorgan failure and death. Despite this, few studies have been performed on pathogenies, prevalence, diagnosis and impact on mortality in unselected ICU patients. LÄS MER

  5. 34. Cardiopulmonary Function in Healthy Individuals and in Patients After Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

    Författare :Margareta Genberg; Andrei Malinovschi; Eva Nylander; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; echocardiography; cardiopulmonary execise testing; stress testing; onchology; childhood leukemia; healthy adults; breathing reserve; oxygen uptake; Clinical Physiology; Klinisk fysiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is the gold standard of clinical exercise tests, combining conventional stress testing with measurement of oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide production. In order to interpret CPET findings, adequate reference values are needed. Currently, no Swedish reference values exist. LÄS MER

  7. 35. Age and gender differences in risk factor burden, myocardial dysfunction and cardiovascular events in relation to glucose metabolism

    Författare :Margrét Leosdottir; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []
    Nyckelord :Age; cardiovascular disease; diabetes; echocardiography; gender; glucose; left ventricular function; Nt-proBNP; self-rated health;

    Sammanfattning : The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and heart failure (HF) among individuals with diabetes is at least two times greater than in non-diabetic subjects. However, the excess risk of CVD in diabetic subjects seems to decrease with age. LÄS MER
