11. Recipient and Donor Characteristics - Impact on Outcome after Heart Transplantation
Sammanfattning : Heart transplantation (HTx) is severely limited by a shortage of donors. This thesis aimed to investigate the effectof variables used to match donors to recipients in HTx.Methods: Data from the ISHLT registry was used to study: I: Identical versus compatible non-identical ABOmatchingin 3,589 AB HTx recipients.

12. Echocardiographic assessment of atrioventricular plane displacement, Clinical application in patients with coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation and aortic stenosis
Sammanfattning : Left atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) has been shown to correlate well with left ventricular (LV) systolic function measured as ejection fraction (EF). AVPD has also been shown to be related to diastolic performance. LÄS MER
13. Cardioprotective treatment strategies
Sammanfattning : In myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, complement activation, tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) and extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) release contribute to myocardial injury. ATP is degraded into adenosine by the enzyme apyrase, and adenosine possesses cardioprotective properties. LÄS MER
14. Electrocardiographic predictors of clinical outcome in ST-elevation myocardial infarction
Sammanfattning : Malignant ventricular arrhythmias, particularly ventricular fibrillation (VF), remain an important contributor to mortality in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The size of myocardial injury is one more important factor influencing the prognosis of STEMI patients. LÄS MER
15. Mitral Valve Surgery: Effects on Cardiac Reverse Remodeling, Hemodynamics, and Clinical Outcome
Sammanfattning : Normalization of life expectancy after mitral valve surgery is highly dependent on early diagnosis and referral for surgical treatment. Among cases treated surgically, the majority (60–70%) have a degenerative etiology, which is also easiest to repair. LÄS MER
