1. 16. The effect of sex hormones on hemostasis and cardiovascular riskfactors in postmenopausal women

   Författare :Ulla Pripp; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Postmenopausal women; cardiovascular risk factors; hemostasis; ambulatory blood pressure; angina pectoris; HRT;

   Sammanfattning : The influence of cardiac riskfactors and sex hormones on hemostasis were studied in healthy women (n=260) in Study I. Body mass Index (BMI), dyslipidemia, surgical menopause, smoking and years since menopause were associated with an increase of 28% in fibrinogen levels. BMI, total cholesterol (tot. chol. LÄS MER

3. 17. The immune response in atherosclerosis and acute coronary syndromes

   Författare :Giuseppina Caligiuri; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :atherosclerosis; angina pectoris; myocardial infarction; endothelin; lymphocytes; T-cell receptor; antigens; hypercholesterolemia; mice;

   Sammanfattning : The immune system is involved in the process of atherogenesis from the earliest steps of plaque formation, throughout the progression to the mature plaque, and finally in plaque complication and clinical manifestation of plaque instability. The present study has explored the role of specific immunity in relation to clinical instability of human coronary atherosclerosis and in experimental models of atherogenesis. LÄS MER

4. 18. Coronary heart disease in Swedish twins : quantitative genetic studies

   Författare :Slobodan Zdravkovic; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Coronary heart disease; angina pectoris; acute myocardial infarction; twins; heritability; liability; frailty;

   Sammanfattning : To this point in time, coronary heart disease (CHD) has been a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the industrialized part of the world. During the last decades a decrease in morbidity and mortality has been observed in the developed countries. LÄS MER

5. 19. On-line vectorcardiography in ischemic heart disease

   Författare :Peter Lundin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Vectorcardiography; ischemia monitoring; coronary artery disease; exercise test; echocardiography; dobutamine; unstable angina pectoris; myocardial infarction; prognosis.;

   Sammanfattning : The clinical usefulness of continuous on-line vector cardiography (VCG) was assessed in 435 patients, admitted to the coronary care unit. The ability of 24-hour VCG monitoring to differentiate patients with or without ischemic heart disease (IHD), to provide long-term prognostic information and to predict results from a predischarge exercise test in patients with unstable angina pectoris or acute myocardial infarction (MI) was evaluated.

7. 20. Endothelial function and dysfunction in coronary artery bypass grafting

   Författare :Ulf Lockowandt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :CABG; Endothelin; Endothelin-blockers; endothelium; lactate; off-pump CABG; prostacyclin; radial artery; unstable angina pectoris;

   Sammanfattning : The integrity of the endothelium is of importance for short- and long-term results following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In this thesis different factors of the endothelial role in the regulation of vascular tone in relation to various current aspects of CABG have been investigated. LÄS MER
