   Sammanfattning : Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality and the identification of modifiable risk factors is crucial in order to diminish suffering of this common disease. The primary aim of this thesis was to investigate novel metabolic risk factors for CHF, with a focus on insulin resistance and inflammation. LÄS MER

4. 8. Myocardial creatine metabolism in experimental infarction and heart failure

   Författare :Malin Lindbom; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Energy metabolism; Creatine; Congestive heart failure; Myocardial infarction; Ventricular arrhythmias; Cardiac remodeling; apolipoprotein B; Lipid metabolism;

   Sammanfattning : The failing heart is characterized by changes in structure, function and metabolism. All these changes are usually defined as pathologic remodelling. An important part of this negative remodelling process is disturbances in the myocardial energy metabolism. LÄS MER

5. 9. Altered vascular responses in experimental congestive heart failure

   Författare :Anders Bergdahl; Lund Medicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet;

   Sammanfattning : Congestive heart failure is accompanied with increased circulatory levels of several vasoregulatory neurotransmitters and hormones which affect the outcome of this disease. In this thesis the blood levels of several vasoactive peptides in humans with congestive heart failure and their effects on the vasculature by the use of an animal model of heart failure were studied.

7. 10. Prevalence and treatment of patients with heart failure with special emphasis on diuretics

   Författare :Pär Parén; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; heart failure; epidemiology; pharmaco-epidemiology; diuretics; mortality;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Heart failure (HF) is a major health problem worldwide with an estimated prevalence of about 1-2% in the Western world. The temporal trend for prevalence of HF has never been investigated in a nationwide population. In patients with HF diuretic treatment is recommended for relief of congestive symptoms. LÄS MER
