16. Cardioprotective treatment strategies
Sammanfattning : In myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, complement activation, tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release contribute to myocardial injury. ATP is degraded into adenosine by the enzyme apyrase, and adenosine possesses cardioprotective properties. LÄS MER
17. Cardioprotective mechanisms by inhibition of the HMG-CoA reductase pathway and stimulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors in myocardial ischaemia-reperfusion
Sammanfattning : Acute myocardial ischaemia causes metabolic changes and results in a rapid decrease in the energy available to the cell. This leads to cell injury that, depending on the length of the ischaemic time, is reversible or irreversible. LÄS MER
18. Electrocardiographic predictors of clinical outcome in ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Sammanfattning : Malignant ventricular arrhythmias, particularly ventricular fibrillation (VF), remain an important contributor to mortality in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The size of myocardial injury is one more important factor influencing the prognosis of STEMI patients. LÄS MER
19. Energy-metabolic aspects of ischemia and pre-treatment: studies in porcine myocardium
Sammanfattning : The focus of this thesis is to clarify mechanisms involved in protective pre-treatment of ischemia by carbon monoxide (CO) and ischemic preconditioning (IP), so that new pro-tective therapies can be designed. This is studied in heart muscle, where the clinical gain would ultimately be to be able to prolong the period during a threatened myocardial infarction where permanent injury can be prevented.

20. Myocardial energy metabolism in ischemic preconditioning, role of adenosine catabolism
Sammanfattning : Brief episodes of ischemia and reperfusion render the myocardium more resistant to necrosis from a subsequent, otherwise lethal ischemic insult. This phenomenon is called ischemic preconditioning(IP). LÄS MER
