  1. 1. Aspects on wall properties of the brachial artery in man : with special reference to SLE and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus

    Författare :Niclas Bjarnegård; Toste Länne; Reinhard Volkmann; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Arterial wall; atherosclerotic; brachial artery BA ; type 1 diabetes; ulse wave velocity PWV ; pulse wave analysis PWA ; intima-media thickness IMT ; nitrate mediated dilatation NMD ; Diabetology; Diabetologi;

    Sammanfattning : The mechanical properties of the arterial wall are of great importance for blood pressure regulation and cardiac load. With increasing age, large arteries are affected by increased wall stiffness. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Studies on arterial endothelial function and intima-media thickness using ultrasound technique

    Författare :Morteza Rohani; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Ultrasound; atherosclerosis; flow mediated dilatation; endothelial function; carotid arteries; thoracic aorta; brachial artery; coronary artery disease; nicotine; snuff; prednisolone; rheumatoid arthritis;

    Sammanfattning : Background: The development of ultrasonographic arterial imaging, high-resolution B-mode ultrasonography, has created a technical basis for a new diagnostic approach to atherosclerotic disease by offering the possibility of accurate and reproducible quantification of the structural and functional changes in the arterial wall. Flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) have been shown to be good surrogate markers of atherosclerosis. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Remote ischemic conditioning to protect the heart in myocardial infarction : therapeutic intervention and underlying mechanisms

    Författare :Dinos Verouhis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Urgent reperfusion of the occluded coronary artery halts the ischemic insult to the myocardium and is the single most important action to limit infarct size in ST-elevation myocardial infarction. However, reperfusion itself introduces an additional threat to the recovering ischemic myocardium whereby still viable cardiomyocytes suffer additional irreversible damage. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Vascular mechanical properties and endothelial function with special reference to pregnancy and hormonal influences

    Författare :Jana Brodszki; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; gynaecology; andrology; reproduction; sexuality; Obstetrik; gynekologi; andrologi; reproduktion; sexualitet; Obstetrics; systemic lupus erythematosus; hormone therapy; preeclampsia; pregnancy; endothelial function; arterial stiffness; vessels; ultrasound; cardiovascular disease;

    Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Early recognition of vascular changes, both structural and functional, may help to identify individuals at risk for CVD. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Endothelial function in isolated small arteries from women at reproductive age and after menopause : possibilities for improvement

    Författare :Eimantas Svedas; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Alterations in vascular function are present in patients with Preeclampsia (PE) and in women after menopause. PE is a syndrome peculiar to human pregnancy that adversely affects the mother by endothelial dysfunction and the fetus due to impaired uteroplacental blood flow. LÄS MER
