1. 16. Cardiac effects of prolonged exercise

   Författare :Anders Sahlén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme; Exercise; Natriuretic Peptides; Troponin;

   Sammanfattning : Long-distance running is growing in popularity. While moderate exercise unquestionably gives major health benefits, the effects of extreme physical exhaustion on cardiac function have been studied less. It has previously been observed that elevated cardiac biomarkers may be observed after exercise, the significance of which is not known. LÄS MER

3. 17. Myocardial gene therapy and gene expression in angina pectoris

   Författare :Andreas Rück; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Angina pectoris; gene therapy; vascular endothelial growth factor; plasmid; prognosis; collaterals; angiogenesis; gene expression; microarray; natriuretic peptides.;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Angiogenesis does not fully counteract myocardial ischemia in stable angina pectoris. Refractory angina pectoris, with remaining symptoms despite medication and no possibility for bypass surgery or angioplasty, is rather common. Angiogenic gene therapy is a novel treatment strategy for these patients. LÄS MER

4. 18. Implantable devices in heart failure : studies on biventricular pacing and continuous hemodynamic monitoring

   Författare :Frieder Braunschweig; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Implantable devices; congestive heart failure; biventricular pacing; hemodynamic monitoring; ambulatory; hospitalizations; positron emission tomography; stress; blood flow; loop diuretics; natriuretic peptides; hemodynamics.;

   Sammanfattning : Chronic heart failure is a highly symptomatic syndrome associated with increasing prevalence, frequent hospital admissions and high treatment costs. Despite recent advances in drug therapy, morbidity and mortality are still high. LÄS MER

5. 19. Adiponectin : genetic determinants and relations with subclinical cardiovascular disease

   Författare :Stefan Gustafsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :adiponectin;

   Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and premature death in Sweden and globally, which besides the substantial individual suffering, puts large restraints on the public health system. Adiponectin is a highly heritable trait, which is strongly associated with metabolic disturbances such as obesity and insulin resistance. LÄS MER

7. 20. Heart failure : role of metabolic biomarkers, ejection fraction, and sex

   Författare :Ulrika Ljung Faxén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Heart failure (HF) is common and associated with impaired quality of life (QoL) and poor prognosis. There is a ternary classification of HF based on ejection fraction (EF): HF with preserved(HFpEF), mid-range EF(HFmrEF), and reduced EF(HFrEF). LÄS MER
