1. Release and Clearance Mechanisms of Cardiac Troponin
Sammanfattning : Myocardial infarction (MI) is often suspected when a patient presents with chest pain. MI is defined as cardiac necrosis due to ischemia, most often mediated through impaired coronary perfusion. Cardiac necrosis results in the release of myoglobin, creatine kinase and cardiac troponin (cTn) to the circulation. LÄS MER
2. Cellular monitoring in open heart surgery. Monitoring of markers for ischemia, free amino acids, glucose and lactate in the myocardial interstitial fluid before, during and after cardiac surgery using microdialysis technique
Sammanfattning : Protection of the myocardium during open-heart surgery is a field of intense development. Numerous protocols have been proposed to minimize ischemia, since the beginning of open-heart surgery more than 40 years ago. LÄS MER
3. Cardiac troponin T in clinical and experimental studies
Sammanfattning : The cardiac troponin T (cTnT) assay became commercially available in the 1990s, and together with cardiac troponin I (cTnI), cTnT is today the marker of choice for the detection of myocardial infarction. However, when the cTnT assay was introduced it was insufficiently evaluated in two important fields: in patients with renal disease and in experimental cardiovascular research. LÄS MER
4. Impact of different interventions on cardiovascular risk factors
Sammanfattning : Obesity and related complications such as diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) and cardiovascular events, are a growing major health problem worldwide. Achieving a negative energy balance by increasing physical activity in combination with reduced caloric intake, is the most common approach in weight reduction strategies, something that is difficult to maintain in the long term.

5. Acute Myocardial Infarction: The Relationship between Duration of Ischaemia and Infarct Size in Humans - Assessment by MRI and SPECT
Sammanfattning : The effect of duration of ischaemia on final infarct size is well established in animal studies, but not fully evaluated in humans. Delayed contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) can be used to distinguish between viable and non-viable myocardium and thus to quantify infarct size. LÄS MER
