  1. 16. Assessment of Ventricular Function in Normal and Failing Hearts Using 4D Flow CMR

    Författare :Jakub Zajac; Carljohan Carlhäll; Tino Ebbers; Petter Dyverfeldt; Victor A. Ferrari; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Heart failure is a common disorder and a major cause of illness and death in the population, creating an enormous health-care burden. It is a complex condition, representing the end-point of many cardiovascular diseases. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Atrial fibrillation : clinical presentation and management, with special emphasis on magnesium therapy

    Författare :Mats Frick; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :atrial fibrillation; magnesium; arrhythmias; cardioversion; sotalol;

    Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, causing disabling symptoms, risk of thromboembolic events and increased mortality. Some patients with AF are asymptomatic, but to what extent these patients differ from patients with symptoms is unclear. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Blood flow specific assessment of ventricular function : Visualization and quantification using 4D flow CMR

    Författare :Alexandru Grigorescu Fredriksson; Carljohan Carlhäll; Bengt Johansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : The spectrum of cardiovascular diseases is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Early assessment and treatment of these conditions, acquired as well as congenital, is therefore of paramount importance. The human heart has a great ability to adapt to various hemodynamic conditions by cardiac remodeling.

  5. 19. Towards Immunotherapy of Midgut Carcinoid Tumors

    Författare :Sofia Vikman; Thomas Tötterman; Valeria Giandomenico; Bengt Widegren; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Immunology; midgut carcinoid; gene expression; immunotherapy; tumor antigen; VMAT-1; T cell; HLA-A*0201-binding peptide; IFNγ; regulatory T cell; Immunologi;

    Sammanfattning : Classical midgut carcinoids belong to neuroendocrine tumors of the gastroenteropancreatic tract (GEP-NETs) and are associated with serotonin overproduction. The term midgut is derived from the tumors’ embryological site of origin: enterochromaffin cells in the lower jejunum, ileum, caecum and the ascending colon. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Impact of Surgical Techniques Used for Mitral Valve Repair on Hemodynamic Performance

    Författare :Sigurdur Ragnarsson; Thoraxkirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mitral valve repair; artificial chordae; outcome; right ventricular function; infective endocarditis; mitral valve repair; artificial chordae; right ventricular function; outcome; infective endocarditis;

    Sammanfattning : AbstractBackground Mitral regurgitation (MR) has many etiologies; the most common is degenerative disease. If not corrected, severe MR may cause left and right ventricular heart failure. Mitral valve (MV) repair is the gold standard for treatment of MR. LÄS MER
