  1. 1. The important role of left atrial function parameters in clinical practice

    Författare :Ibadete Bytyci; Michael Y. Henein; Roxy Senior; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Left atrial function; Left atrial compliance; left atrial stiffness; Clinical practice; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the role of left atrial function in clinical practice based on the following studies:1)    Determining left atrial (LA) structure and myocardial function measurements that predict pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP).2)    Identifying predictors of exercise capacity in patients with HFpEF and right ventricle (RV) dysfunction.

  3. 2. Cardioplegia and cardiac function : evaluated by left ventricular pressure-volume relations

    Författare :Anders B Ericsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :cardioplegia; simultaneous cardioplegia; intermittent warn cardioplegia; cardiac function; pressure-volume loops; conductance catheter; heart rate;

    Sammanfattning : Purpose: This thesis is focused on studies of blood cardioplegia in order to evaluate regimens of myocardial protection during cardiac surgery. To further bring down operative mortality and morbidity, in patients with acutely ischaemic hearts, an optimal peroperative myocardial management is essential. LÄS MER

  4. 3. In the hands of ohm : hemodynamic aspects in pulmonary hypertension

    Författare :Erik Tossavainen; Per Lindqvist; Michael Henein; Stefan Söderberg; Peter Eriksson; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Sammanfattning : Congestive heart failure (CHF) is one of the most challenging diseases in terms of health care demand and mortality, in the western world. Despite major breakthroughs in the fields of diagnosis and treatment over the three last decades, the management of CHF still remains challenging. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Echocardiography in myocardial infarction : aspects on diastolic function and evaluation by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging

    Författare :Martin G Sundqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Echocardiography is routinely used to evaluate patients with known or suspected myocardial infarction (MI). Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) provides the ability to quantify myocardial infarction size (IS), and to establish an underlying diagnosis in MI cases with nonobstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA).
