1. 21. Clinical studies in severe heart failure : neurohormonal, electrolyte and metabolic aspects

   Författare :Mats Broqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : Congestive heart failure is a common and complex syndrome with a poor prognosis. Although heart disease is usually the primary event, the clinical syndrome is characterised by several extra-cardiac manifestations. Neurohormonal activation seems to play a crucial role for these manifestations and the progression of the disease. LÄS MER

3. 22. Heart failure : aspects on treatment and prognosis

   Författare :Märit Mejhert; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Heart failure; management program; quality of life; gender; prognosis;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to describe aspects on treatment and prognosis in heart failure. In paper I, we studied two hundred and seventy-nine hospitalised heart failure patients, and related clinical and demograhic data to the use of diagnostic tests, treatment and follow up. LÄS MER

4. 23. Assessment of Pulmonary Blood Flow in Heart Failure. Using Novel and Non-Invasive Diagnostic Methods

   Författare :Mariam Al-Mashat; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; heart failure; magnetic resonance imaging; pulmonary congestion; pulmonary perfusion; tomographic lung scintigraphy; V P SPECT;

   Sammanfattning : In heart failure (HF), the heart is unable to pump effectively in order to satisfy the demands of the body. The elevated filling pressure seen in HF leads to accumulation of fluid in the lungs, i.e pulmonary congestion. While investigation with chest X-ray is recommended, it has limitations in detecting pulmonary congestion. LÄS MER

5. 24. Biomarkers of inflammation in atrial fibrillation

   Författare :Julia Aulin; Jonas Oldgren; Ziad Hijazi; Lars Wallentin; Håkan Wallén; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; biomarkers; inflammation; inflammatory biomarkers; oral anticoagulation; heart failure; left ventricular function; ejection fraction; risk assessment; risk prediction; interleukin 6 IL-6 ; C-reactive protein CRP ;

   Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common and associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure (HF) and mortality. Inflammation is linked to AF.The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate inflammatory activity and cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in patients with AF on effective oral anticoagulation.

7. 25. The clinical value of total isovolumic time

   Författare :Gani Bajraktari; Michael Henein; Krister Lindmark; Lars-Åke Brodin; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Heart failure; cardiac resynchronization therapy; predictors; echocardiography; total isovolumic time; six-minute walk test; left ventricular dyssynchrony;

   Sammanfattning : The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the use of Doppler echocardiography markers ofglobal dyssynchrony [total isovolumic time (t-IVT)] in the following 6 studies: 1) Its prognostic role in predicting cardiac events in patients undergoing CABG surgery,compared with conventional global systolic and diastolic measurements. 2) Its additional value in predicting six minute walk test (6-MWT) in patients with leftventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) .
