1. Cardiovascular aspects on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease : with focus on ischemic ECG abnormalities, QT prolongation and arterial stiffness
Sammanfattning : Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD) is an under-diagnosed disease with a prevalence of approximately 10%, highly dependent on age and smoking habits. Comorbidities are common in COPD and of these, cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most common. LÄS MER
2. Management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic heart disease in primary health care : Guidelines, patients and comorbidity
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this compilation thesis was to explore different aspects of the management of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart disease in primary health care: guideline adherence in chronic heart failure (CHF) management (I); comparing patients with COPD and heart failure, and factors associated with the pa-tients’ exercise self-efficacy (II); and the influence of comorbid heart disease in COPD over time (III–IV).Materials and methods: Cross-sectional data from primary health care: 155 patients with heart failure (I) and 150 with COPD and/or heart failure (II).

4. Heart and lung function - in health and disease : methodological studies in clinical physiology
Sammanfattning : The human heart and lungs constitute an intricate and dynamic system. Various clinical physiological examinations can be used to evaluate cardio-pulmonary function and identify abnormalities. Thus, it is important to understand how normal physiology presents, to be able to identify pathological findings. LÄS MER
5. Pulmonary hypertension. Clinical and pathophysiological studies
Sammanfattning : Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common abnormality, most often associated with various cardiopulmonary diseases. Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a devastating pulmonary vascular disease characterised by the proliferation of endothelial, smooth-muscle cells and fibroblasts. LÄS MER
