  1. 16. Assessment of Atherosclerosis by Whole-Body Magnetic Resonance Angiography

    Författare :Tomas Hansen; Håkan Ahlström; Lars Lind; Johan Wikström; Lars Johansson; Björn Fagerberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Radiology; Atherosclerosis; Magnetic Resonance Angiography; Epidemiology; Radiologisk forskning;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is a serious threat to public health and a major cause of morbidity and mortality. In this doctoral research, the feasibility of using whole-body magnetic resonance angiography (WBMRA) was studied as a principal aim both in patients and in an epidemiological setting. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Energy metabolic failure within the arterial wall in atherosclerosis

    Författare :Max Levin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :atherosclerosis; hypoxia; hypoxia marker; bioluminescence imaging; ATP; glucose; lactate; energy metabolism;

    Sammanfattning : Atherosclerosis is a disease that affects large and medium sized arteries. The majority of deaths in a Western population can be directly attributed to complications of this disease. Although research efforts have been vast, the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying atherosclerosis are not fully understood. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Ultrasound and atherosclerosis. Evaluation of methods, risk factors and intervention

    Författare :Jerker Persson; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Clinical physics; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system; validation; ultrasound; reproducibility; progression; plaque; intima-media thickness; intervention; atherosclerosis; epidemiology; cardiovascular risk factors; radiology; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

    Sammanfattning : The importance of studying cardiovascular disease before the process leads to hard end-points has been recognised, and methods to quantify early atherosclerosis have been taken in use in many research centres around the world. An ultrasound method with a computer assisted image analysing system was developed in co-operation with the Wallenberg Laboratory for Cardiovascular Research and Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden.

  5. 19. Screening for asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis

    Författare :Dominika Högberg; Anders Wanhainen; Hans-Henning Eckstein; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Carotid stenosis; carotid atherosclerosis; screening; cost-effectiveness; natural history; carotid ultrasound; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Sammanfattning : Ischemic stroke is the most common cause of handicap in adults and the third most common cause of death in Sweden. Internal carotid artery atherosclerosis is an important cause and accounts for 20% of ischemic strokes. Screening for carotid atherosclerosis has been debated over the past two decades. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Pictorial presentation of subclinical atherosclerosis : a measure to reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease

    Författare :Anna Bengtsson; Margareta Norberg; Eva Fhärm; Per Wester; Mai-Lis Hellénius; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular disease; non-adherence; pictorial information; prevention; subclinical atherosclerosis;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aim was improved cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention through the VIPVIZA intervention. This includes the provision of pictorial information of subclinical atherosclerosis to participants and their general practitioners (GPs), follow-up phone call, and written information to the participant.
