  1. 1. Cardiovascular function and biomarkers in women with preeclampsia

    Författare :Rangeen Rafik Hamad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Preeclampsia; endothelial function; FMD; thrombin; microparticle; menstrual cycle; ventricular diastolic function; echocardiography; NT-pro-BNP; cystatin C; CRP; inflammation; hemostasis; Pentraxin 3; angiogenesis; pregnancy; follow-up;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a multisystem disorder peculiar to human pregnancy and characterized by the onset of hypertension and proteinuria after the 20th week of gestation. The pathophysiology of this disorder is still not clear. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Cardiac Troponins in Patients with Suspected or Confirmed Acute Coronary Syndrome : New Applications for Biomarkers in Coronary Artery Disease

    Författare :Kai Eggers; Bertil Lindahl; Stefan James; Paul Collinson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Internal medicine; Ischemic heart disease; Acute myocardial infarction; Troponin; Natriuretic peptide; CRP; Cystatin C; Artificial neural network; Point of care measurements; Risk prediction; Invärtesmedicin;

    Sammanfattning : The cardiac troponins are the biochemical markers of choice for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and risk prediction in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In this thesis, the role of early serial cardiac troponin I (cTnI) testing was assessed in fairly unselected patient populations admitted because of chest pain and participating in the FAST II-study (n=197) and the FASTER I-study (n=380).

  4. 3. Left ventricular reconstruction in ischemic heart disease

    Författare :Ulrik Sartipy; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Left ventricular reconstruction; surgical ventricular restoration; heart failure surgery; left ventricular aneurysm; ischemic heart disease; cardiac remodeling; surgery for ventricular tachycardia;

    Sammanfattning : Objectives: [1] To review our experience with left ventricular reconstruction (LVR) regarding safety (early mortality and morbidity) and long-term survival (Study I). [2] To evaluate LVR including surgery for ventricular tachycardia in patients with preoperative spontaneous or inducible ventricular tachycardia (Study II). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Echocardiography in myocardial infarction : aspects on diastolic function and evaluation by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging

    Författare :Martin G Sundqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Echocardiography is routinely used to evaluate patients with known or suspected myocardial infarction (MI). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) provides the ability to quantify myocardial infarction size (IS), and to establish an underlying diagnosis in MI cases with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA).

  7. 5. Blood pressure, blood pressure variability and myocardial ischemia : studies in patients with peripheral arterial disease and matched control subjects

    Författare :Per Svensson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Peripheral vascular diseases; hypertension drug therapy; ambulatory blood pressure monitoring; coronary artery disease; ambulatory electrocardiography; SPECT; NT-proBNP;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Patients presenting with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) often have concomitant coronary artery disease (CAD), which is frequently asymptomatic. Ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) monitoring improves risk stratification in hypertensive patients beyond that offered by office BP(OBP) measurements. LÄS MER
