1. 1. Preeclampsia – Studies on the Placenta and B-type Natriuretic Peptide

   Författare :Katja Junus; Matts Olovsson; Anna-Karin Wikström; Stefan Hansson; Liv Cecilie Vestrheim Thomsen; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; BNP; B-type natriuretic peptide; early-onset preeclampsia; gene expression; NT-proBNP; placenta; preeclampsia; trophoblasts; Obstetrik och gynekologi; Obstetrics and Gynaecology;

   Sammanfattning : Preeclampsia has several pathophysiological pathways, but the placenta has a central role. The pathophysiology appears to differ between the two subtypes – early- and late-onset preeclampsia. LÄS MER

3. 2. New Risk Markers in Atrial Fibrillation

   Författare :Ziad Hijazi; Jonas Oldgren; Lars Wallentin; Agneta Siegbahn; Ola Hammarsten; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial fibrillation; stroke risk; cardiac biomarkers; troponin; natriuretic peptides; NT-proBNP; risk stratification; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

   Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation (AF) confers an independent increased risk of stroke and death. The stroke risk is very heterogeneous and current risk stratification models based on clinical variables, such as the CHADS2 and CHA2DS2VASc score, only offer a modest discriminating value. LÄS MER

4. 3. Unrecognized myocardial infarction and cardiac biochemical markers in patients with stable coronary artery disease

   Författare :Anna Nordenskjöld; Bertil Lindahl; Ole Fröbert; Kai Eggers; Torbjørn Omland; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Unrecognized myocardial infarction; Coronary artery disease; Prevalence; Prognosis; Troponin; NT-proBNP; Galectin-3; Medicin; Medicine;

   Sammanfattning : Aim: The overarching aim of the thesis was to explore the occurrence and clinical importance of two manifestations of myocardial injury; unrecognized myocardial injury (UMI) and altered levels of cardiac biochemical markers in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods: A prospective multicenter cohort study investigated the prevalence, localization, size, and prognostic implication of UMI in 235 patients with stable CAD.

5. 4. Age and gender differences in risk factor burden, myocardial dysfunction and cardiovascular events in relation to glucose metabolism

   Författare :Margrét Leosdottir; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []
   Nyckelord :Age; cardiovascular disease; diabetes; echocardiography; gender; glucose; left ventricular function; Nt-proBNP; self-rated health;

   Sammanfattning : The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and heart failure (HF) among individuals with diabetes is at least two times greater than in non-diabetic subjects. However, the excess risk of CVD in diabetic subjects seems to decrease with age. LÄS MER

7. 5. Clinically Unrecognized Myocardial Scars Detected by MRI

   Författare :Raquel Espregueira Themudo; Tomas Bjerner; Andrew Arai; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; unrecognized myocardial scars; myocardial infarction; epidemiology; magnetic resonance; computed topographic coronary angiography; exercise test; NT-proBNP; Radiology; Radiologi; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

   Sammanfattning : A high percentage of unrecognized myocardial infarctions (UMIs) seen at delayed-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) are not detected by ECG. DE-MRI-detected UMIs are independent predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease. LÄS MER
