  1. 21. Assessment of myocardial viability using magnetic resonance imaging

    Författare :Robert Jablonowski; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Magnetic resonance imaging; myocardial infarction; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; fibrosis; viability;

    Sammanfattning : Myocardial infarction (MI) following an acute coronary occlusion is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. During revascularization, microemboli may complicate treatment and affect cardiac function. The long-term effects of microembolization are not fully elucidated. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Prenatal Tisse Velocity Imaging of the Heart : A new approach to assess fetal myocardial function

    Författare :Nina Elmstedt; Lars-Åke Brodin; Britta Lind; Karel Marsal; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis has been to evaluate color‐coded tissue velocity imaging (TVI) as an approach to developing a new, non‐invasive assessment method for fetal myocardial function. Such a method could hypothetically give early indications of fetal pathology, as myocardial dysfunction is often the consequence when the circulation tries to adapt to deteriorating situations.

  4. 23. Porcine myocardial ischemia-reperfusion studies on cardioprotection, ventricular arrhythmia and electrophysiology

    Författare :Jacob Odenstedt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :porcine; myocardial ischemia; ventricular arrhythmia; sudden cardiac death; electrophysiology; vectorcardiography; endocardial mapping; spinal cord stimulation;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Coronary artery disease is the primary cause of death in adults in the industrialised world and ventricular fibrillation associated with myocardial ischemia is the main cause of sudden cardiac death. Restoration of blood flow and preservation of myocardial integrity throughout ischemia and reperfusion is essential to improve clinical outcome. LÄS MER

  5. 24. Cardiac side-effects of adjuvant radiotherapy for early breast cancer

    Författare :Gábor Gyenes; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Early breast cancer; Radiation therapy; Ischemic heart disease; Side-effects; Microvascular domage; Long-term effects; Myocardial disease; Technetium 99-m sestamibi perfusion scintigraphy; Prospective study;

    Sammanfattning : It is well established that adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) reduces loco-regional recurrences in breast cancer. The effect on overall survival on the other hand is much debated. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Patient stratification and treatment effects in diseases with disturbed cardiac function

    Författare :Gabriel Granåsen; Urban Wiklund; Frida Sandberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biostatistics; Heart rate variability; Cardiac amyloidosis; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; cluster analysis; Echocardiography; Long QT syndrome; Pediatric; Statins; Coronary artery calcium; Computer tomography; Machine learning; Predictive modeling;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Cardiovascular disease characteristics are often measured using a combination of different measurement modalities. By combining information from these modalities using statistical modelling we can gain additional knowledge about these diseases. LÄS MER
