  1. 11. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, with focus on vascular wall changes, cardiac risk-factor awareness and cardiovascular events

    Författare :Christine Bengtsson; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; microvascular reactivity; arteria stiffness; cardiac risk factors; Cardiovascular event; SLE;

    Sammanfattning : Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune disease with a wide range of disease manifestations with respect to severity and magnitude of organ involvement. An increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared with the general population causes both morbidity and mortality in SLE patients. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Arterial wall stiffness in man. On gender differences and abnormalities in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus and alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency

    Författare :Åsa Rydén Ahlgren; Malmö Klinisk fysiologi och nuklearmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sex characteristics.; abdominal aortic aneurysm; arterial stiffness; alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency; ultrasonography; Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus; Clinical physics; radiology; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

    Sammanfattning : The mechanical properties of major arteries may reflect early manifestations of vascular disease and are also of interest because they are important for cardiac work. Using echo-tracking sonography and blood pressure measurements, arterial stiffness and diameters were investigated in healthy individuals as well as in patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) or alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency (alpha1-AT deficiency).

  4. 13. Vascular functions in infants, children and their mothers

    Författare :Helena Martin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The function of the microvascular system was studied during early postnatal circulatory adaptation and in early-onset neonatal sepsis. We also studied large and small artery functions in infants and schoolchildren of low birthweight, a risk factor related to later development of cardiovascular disease and hypertension. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Association of novel vascular risk markers with cognitive function and dementia: special focus on arterial stiffness

  7. 15. New ultrasonographic approaches to monitoring cardiac and vascular function

    Författare :Anna Bjällmark; Lars-Åke Brodin; Kjell Karp; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medical technology; Medicinsk teknik;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. To decrease mortality and morbidity in cardiovascular disease, the development of accurate, non-invasive methods for early diagnosis of atherosclerotic cardiac and vascular engagement is of considerable clinical interest.
