  1. 11. Clinical studies in severe heart failure : neurohormonal, electrolyte and metabolic aspects

    Författare :Mats Broqvist; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Congestive heart failure is a common and complex syndrome with a poor prognosis. Although heart disease is usually the primary event, the clinical syndrome is characterised by several extra-cardiac manifestations. Neurohormonal activation seems to play a crucial role for these manifestations and the progression of the disease. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Bioenergetic aspects of experimental heart failure

    Författare :Elmir Omerovic; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a complex syndrome associated with high morbidity and mortality in spite of advances in pharmacological treatment during recent years. CHF is global health problem and will become an even more important health issue in the future since the incidence of CHF is predicted to increase worldwide in the next decades. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Concept design and In Vitro evaluation of a novel dynamic displacement Ventricular Assist Device

    Författare :Mattias Stenberg; Håkan Elmqvist; Ulf Kjellman; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Ventricular Assist Devices; artificial heart; heart failure; InVitro evaluation; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

    Sammanfattning : Ventricular Assist Devices (VADs) are mechanical pumps used to off-load a deceased heart, primarily in late stage congestive heart failure patients. VAD employment may facilitate cardiac recovery, but most often provides time before a suitable heart transplant can be found. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Natriuretic Peptides and the Microcirkulation in Heart Failure Patients

    Författare :MarieLouise Edvinsson; Lund Medicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Heart failure natriuretic peptides BNP cutaneous microcirculation;

    Sammanfattning : The increased prevalence of chronic congestive heart failure (HF) is a tremendous challenge for society. In spite of effective medical treatment for acute HF, better pharmacological treatment for specific neurohormonal intervention and better diagnostic tools, e.g. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Echocardiographic assessment and B-type natriuretic peptide for risk evaluation in acute coronary syndromes

    Författare :Anita Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acute coronary syndromes; Dopplerechocardiography; BNP; mortality; NT-proBNP; mitral regurgitation; congestive heart failure; restrictive filling pattern;

    Sammanfattning : Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is one of the most common causes of emergency medical care and the single most common cause of death in Sweden in both men and women. Despite a significant improvement in survival in the acute phase, the frequency of rehospitalization and death in subsequent years is unacceptably high. LÄS MER
