1. 1. Signs of inflammation in different types of heart valve disease : The VOCIN study

   Författare :Lars Wallby; Lena Jonasson; Mats Broqvist; Mårten Rosenqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Heart valve dysfunction; heart valve disease; VOCIN study group; aortic valves; Gross valvular pathology; Cariology; Cariologi;

   Sammanfattning : Heart valve dysfunction is a relatively common condition in the population, whereas significant heart valve disease is more unusual. The cause of different types of heart valve disease depends on which valve is concerned. Rheumatic heart valve disease, has for a long time been considered to constitute a post-inflammatory condition. LÄS MER

3. 2. Implications of myocardial dysfunction before and after aortic valve intervention

   Författare :Henrik Hultkvist; Farkas Vánky; Rolf Svedjeholm; Jonas Holm; Odd Bech-Hanssen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : BACKGROUNDPostoperative heart failure in the setting of aortic valve surgery results in poor long-term survival. We hypothesized that there could be a myocardial factor that is not addressed by risk scores currently available. We speculated that this myocardial factor could be diastolic dysfunction. LÄS MER

4. 3. Survival and functional recovery following valve replacement in patients with severe aortic stenosis

   Författare :Wenhong Ding; Michael Y Henein; Eugenio Picano; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aortic stenosis; surgical aortic valve replacement; transcatheter aortic valve implantation; survival; predictor; echocardiography; speckle tracking; ventricular function; twist; strain; Cardiology; kardiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common heart valve disease in Europe and North America. Age-related calcification of the valve is the commonest cause of acquired AS, especially in patients older than 70 years. LÄS MER

5. 4. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: Risk Assessment and Clinical Outcome

   Författare :Malin Johansson; Thoraxkirurgi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Key words: Aortic stenosis; transcatheter aortic valve implantation; outcome; acute kidney injury;

   Sammanfattning : Abstract Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has emerged as a treatment for patients with aortic stenosis (AS) and high surgical risk. To date, reports of short- and mid-term survival have been favourable. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate early safety, risk assessment and late survival following TAVI. LÄS MER

7. 5. Mitral Valve Surgery: Effects on Cardiac Reverse Remodeling, Hemodynamics, and Clinical Outcome

   Författare :Snejana Hyllen; Thoraxkirurgi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac function; mitral regurgitation; myocardial remodeling; mitral valve repair;

   Sammanfattning : Normalization of life expectancy after mitral valve surgery is highly dependent on early diagnosis and referral for surgical treatment. Among cases treated surgically, the majority (60–70%) have a degenerative etiology, which is also easiest to repair. LÄS MER
