  1. 16. Utilities and quality of life in cardiovascular disease : drivers, economic effects and clinical outcomes

    Författare :Jenny Berg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Atrial fibrillation and chronic heart failure represent important contributors to cardiovascular disease burden, with high incidence, prevalence and mortality rates. The overall objective of this thesis is to enhance the knowledge on what drives preferences for different health st ates (utilities) in patients with atrial fibrillation and chronic heart failure, and how health-related quality of life and utilities in turn influence clinical and economic outcomes.

  3. 17. Cardiovascular disease in dementia

    Författare :Pavla Cermakova; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The objective of this thesis was to characterize the burden of cardiovascular diseases in patients with dementia, their treatment and association with survival. Further, we aimed to explore whether cardiac structure in young adults can affect the aging brain. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Prenatal risk factors for severe cardiovascular diseases up to middle-age : a Nordic collaborative study

    Författare :Fen Yang; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background and objectives: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are major causes of death and disability. However, the established traditional risk factors cannot explain a substantial proportion of CVD cases, prompting investigations into novel risk factors. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy - Risk Stratification and Long-Term Outcome

    Författare :Christian Reitan; Kardiologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy; heart Failure; Device therapy; long-term outcome;

    Sammanfattning : Heart failure is a condition that will affect 2-3% of the population. Around one third of the patients have a decreased LVEF and a widened QRS complex as a sign of ventricular dyssynchrony. CRT has emerged as a treatment that reduces morbidity, mortality and improve functional status in this population. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Clinical aspects of device-detected arrhythmias

    Författare :Emma Sandgren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : INTRODUCTION: Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) enable continuous monitoring of the heart rhythm. CIEDs constitute a unique opportunity for detecting arrhythmias, as the duration of cardiac monitoring is of the utmost importance for the detection rate. LÄS MER
