    Nyckelord :Women; coagulation; fibrinolysis; coronary heart disease; genetics; exercise test.;

    Sammanfattning : Inflammation and hemostasis play important roles in atherosclerotic disease. Chronic low-grade inflammation contributes to plaque vulnerability and rupture, and the subsequent thrombus formation is identified as the key mechanism in the pathogenesis of the acute coronary syndromes.

    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Aim: This thesis aims to contribute to the better understanding of the role of psychosocial factors in coronary heart disease (CHD) by analysing (1) the relationship of income, anger expression and work stress with prognosis after a cardiac event, (2) potential explanations for these associations and (3) whether a combined intervention consisting of a psychosocial rehabilitation and medical treatment from a cardiologist affects psychosocial risk factors and prognosis in women CHD patients. Methods: Data from the Healthier Female Heart (HFH) study, a randomized controlled trial enrolling consecutively 247 women cardiac patients aged 75 years (papers I, II, IV) and data of 676 non-fatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI) cases from the Stockholm Heart Epidemiology Program (SHEEP) (paper III) were analysed.

    Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis was to assess the prevalence and management of established cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and the prevalence and influence of self-reported markers (number of teeth and frequency of gum bleeding) of periodontal disease (PD), a less explored CV risk factor, in patients with stable chronic coronary heart disease (CHD).We studied patients from the global STabilization of Atherosclerotic plaque By Initiation of darapLadIb TherapY (STABILITY) trial (n=15,828), in which patients with stable chronic CHD were randomized to either darapladib or placebo.
