  1. 16. Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Myocardial Deformation and Scarring in Coronary Artery Disease

    Författare :Johan Kihlberg; Jan Engvall; Tino Ebbers; Anders Persson; Åse Johnsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Although improved treatments have reduced the rates of acute complications from myocardial infarction, sequelae such as heart failure and sudden death threaten the future wellbeing of those patients. Secondary prevention after myocardial infarction is related to cardiovascular risk factors and the effect of the infarct on left ventricular function. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Cardiovascular structure and function in obesity. The impact of body composition, sleep apnea and sustained weight loss

    Författare :Dimitris Kardassis; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Obesity; weight loss; cardiac function; cardiac structure; inflammation; intima-media thickness; obstructive sleep apnoea;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Obesity is associated with disturbances in cardiovascular structure and function varying along with the degree of fatness, but the mechanisms underlying this co-variation are unclear. Short-term weight loss appears to have favourable effects on the cardiovascular system, but whether such improvements are maintained in the long run is unknown. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Cardiac function in experimental septic and non-septic conditions with special reference to the endothelin system

    Författare :David Konrad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :sepsis; cardiac; endothelin; endotoxin; levosimendan; contractility; diastolic; LVPVR.;

    Sammanfattning : Myocardial depression in sepsis has been intensely investigated for the past 30 years and still poses a considerable issue in the intensive care units. Both systolic and diastolic dysfunction is implicated, correlating with severity of illness and mortality The importance of the endothelin (ET) system in normal physiology has been extensively studied.

  5. 19. Clinical characteristics and prognosis of peripartum cardiomyopathy

    Författare :Kamilu Musa Karaye; Michael Henein; Krister Lindmark; Maria Schaufelberger; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :peripartum cardiomyopathy; characteristics; survival; selenium; RV dysfunction; Cardiology; kardiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background:Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is an incompletely understood disease that causes significant morbidity and mortality in many parts of the world, including Northern Nigeria. The aims of this Thesis were: [1] to determine if selenium deficiency, serum ceruloplasmin and traditional birth practices are risk factors for PPCM, in Kano, Nigeria; [2] to describe the one year survival and left ventricular reverse remodeling (LVRR) in a group of patients with PPCM from three referral hospitals in Kano, Nigeria; [3] to identify potential electrocardiographic (ECG) predictors of PPCM; and [4] to assess right ventricular systolic dysfunction (RVSD) and remodelling in a cohort of PPCM patients in Kano, Nigeria.
