  1. 1. The fight against time in prehospital cardiac arrest - a true medical emergency

    Författare :Johan Holmén; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac arrest; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; prehospital; out-of-hospital;

    Sammanfattning : ABSTRACT Background: The chances of survival after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are one in ten. The majority of survivors have no or relatively mild neurological sequelae. Interventions are time critical and well-timed management is challenging. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Right heart function in health and disease : a doppler echocardiography and doppler tissue imaging study

    Författare :Per Lindqvist; Elsadig E Kazzam; Anders Waldenström; Lars Åke Brodin; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Echocardiography; Doppler tissue imaging; right ventricle; cardiac catheterisation; isovolumic relaxation; isovolumic contraction; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Sammanfattning : Background: It is well known that performance of the right ventricle (RV) determines exercise capacity and may confer prognostic information in different cardiopulmonary diseases. To allow optimal patient management, ideal methods to assess right heart function are therefore important. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Surgically corrected univentricular hearts. Anatomical, haemodynamic and functional status at a long-term follow-up

    Författare :Eva Strömvall-Larsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :cavopulmonary connections; univentricular hearts; long-term follow-up; pulmonary; arteriovenous malformations; lung volumes; cardiac output; pulmonary gas exchange and maximal; exercise studies;

    Sammanfattning : The Fontan operation and its modifications are applied to a large spectrum of congenital heart defectswith univentricular physiology. The Fontan circulation is characterised by a reduced, non-pulsatilepulmonary blood flow and the elevated central venous pressure is the main driving force for thepulmonary blood flow. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Interventional closure of persistent foetal cardiac shunts including PDA and PFO : study of outcome, complications and novel methods

    Författare :Kristoffer Jonathan Steiner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Persistent foramen ovale (PFO) and persistent ductus arteriosus (PDA) are two of the most common congenital heart defects (CHD). The incidence of PFO is reported to be between 10% and 35% (1, 2). In term infants, a PDA is seen in around one in 2000 births, accounting for 5% to 10% of all congenital heart disease (3, 4).

  7. 5. Continuous ambulatory hemodynamic monitoring with an implantable system : the feasibility of a new technique

    Författare :Åke Ohlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :heartfailure; hemodynamic monitoring; implantable; oxygen saturation; pressure; ambulatory; right ventricle; dPdt; long-term; sensor; cardiac output.;

    Sammanfattning : Patients with chronic heart failure constitute an increasingly large group. Despite recent therapeutic improvements, these patients have a poor prognosis. LÄS MER
