1. Prognostic impact of coronary microvascular funtion in patients with ischemic heart disease
Sammanfattning : Background: Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death globally. Despite recent advances in interventional and medical therapies, survivors of myocardial infarction are at high risk of recurrent cardiovascular events. LÄS MER
2. Insulin resistance and cardiovascular function - Observational, translational and interventional studies
Sammanfattning : Background: Microvascular disease is now recognized as an important driver for cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Diabetic patients are known to suffer from this condition, leading to e.g. coronary ischemia as well as kidney dysfunction. LÄS MER
3. Platelet function in diabetes mellitus : relationships to hyperglycaemia, antidiabetic treatment and microangiopathy
Sammanfattning : Diabetes mellitus is associated with accelerated atherosclerosis and increased morbidity and mortality in micro-and macrovascular complications. The metabolic derangements that accompany diabetes can adversely influence platelets and vascular endothelial function, which may contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic angiopathy. LÄS MER
4. Noninvasive Evaluation of Myocardial Ischemia and Left Ventricular Function
Sammanfattning : The general aim of this thesis was, following the path of the ischemic cascade, to evaluate the feasibility of some new non-invasive techniques for the detection of myocardial ischemia, the extent of infarcted myocardium, and for the quantification of systolic left ventricular function.Reduced longitudinal myocardial velocity and displacement may be early signs of ischemia.

5. Pathophysiology of myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries and Takotsubo syndrome
Sammanfattning : Introduction: The working diagnosis myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA), with the subgroup myocardial infarction with normal coronary arteries (MINCA), encompasses conditions of diverse aetiological origin. One of them is Takotsubo syndrome (TTS), a reversible and often stress-induced condition of acute heart failure, predominantly affecting postmenopausal women. LÄS MER
