1. 1. Anticoagulants in kidney disease

   Författare :Frida Welander; Anders Själander; Henrik Holmberg; Emöke Dimény; Marie Evans; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anticoagulants; atrial fibrillation; chronic kidney disease; dialysis; DOAC; ischemic stroke; major bleeding; nephrotic syndrome; venous thromboembolism; warfarin.; Medicine; medicin;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are at high risk of ischemic stroke. Evidence is lacking if patients with advanced CKD or on dialysis benefit from oral anticoagulants (OAC) as stroke prophylaxis. LÄS MER

3. 2. Epidemiology of heart failure and feasibility of home care in patients with worsening chronic heart failure

   Författare :Masoud Shafazand; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Chronic heart failure; mortality; deterioration; hospitalisation; gender; home care; quality-adjusted life years; emergency care; health care costs; ischaemic; non-ischaemic; health-related quality of life; conventional care; acute myocardial infarction; coronary heart disease; heart failure;

   Sammanfattning : Aim: To investigate gender-specific trends in long-term mortality in patients hospitalised for ischaemic and non-ischaemic heart failure (HF) and explore temporal trends in the risk of HF complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Another aim is to characterise patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) that seek an emergency department (ED) because of their deteriorating condition and evaluate the feasibility of home care (HC) in comparison with conventional care (CC) in patients with worsening CHF.

4. 3. Cardiovascular disease in systemic lupus erythematosus

   Författare :Elisabet Svenungsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This is an important clinical problem and a main objective of this study was to identify risk factors and underlying mechanisms. LÄS MER

5. 4. Implications of chronic kidney disease on presentation, treatment and outcomes in patients with aortic stenosis

   Författare :Georgios Vavilis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease in the western world. No pharmacological treatment has been proved to halt the progression to severe disease and after symptom debut, the prognosis is poor with a high mortality, if left untreated. LÄS MER

7. 5. Thyroid hormone receptor expression in cardiovascular disease and pharmacology

   Författare :Shiva Shahrara; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :TR mRNA; amiodarone; propranolol; heart rate; Quantitative RT-PCR; Western blot; Northern blot; mRNA and protein distribution; chronic valvular disease; Mated cardiomyopathy; AT- I cardiomyocytes; mouse myocardium;

   Sammanfattning : The heart is a major target organ for thyroid hormone actions. Thyroid hormone exerts effects on the myocardium, which are mediated by specific nuclear receptors. The thyroid hormone receptors (TR) are members of the steroid hormone receptor superfamily. LÄS MER
