  1. 16. Structural and neurohormonal factors in left ventricular hypertrophy and inhibition of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system

    Författare :Karin Malmqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Left ventricular hypertrophy; RAAS; insulin; sympathetic nervous system; leptin echocardiography; soluble cell adhesion molecules; AT1-recemor blockade; ACE inhibitor; QT dispersion;

    Sammanfattning : Hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The aim of this thesis was to study how different neurohormonal systems relate to left ventricular mass, and to study structural and functional cardiovascular changes in hypertensive LVH. LÄS MER

  3. 17. Coarctation of the aorta : register and imaging studies

    Författare :Daniel Rinnström; Bengt Johansson; Michael Henein; Martin Ugander; Gerhard-Paul Diller; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; coarctation of the aorta; adult congenital heart disease; hypertension; left ventricular hypertrophy; body mass index; height; weight; register; CMR;

    Sammanfattning : Background Coarctation of the aorta (CoA) constitutes 5-8 % of all congenital heart disease (CHD) and is associated with long-term complications such as hypertension (HTN) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Factors associated with HTN, LVH, and diffuse myocardial fibrosis, are not yet fully explored in this population. LÄS MER

  4. 18. Blood Pressure Elevation - Impact on Cardiovascular Structure and Endogenous Fibrinolysis

    Författare :Wilhelm Ridderstråle; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :hypertension; left ventricular hypertrophy; intima-media thickness; fibrinolysis; endothelium; tissue plasminogen activator; antihypertensive agents; mechanical stress; plasminogen activator inhibitor-1;

    Sammanfattning : Blood pressure elevation is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events and the risk increases in a dose-dependant manner. It is of importance to identify subjects prone to develop hypertension and adverse cardiovascular remodeling in order to start treatment timely. LÄS MER

  5. 19. Impaired glucose tolerance in ischemic heart disease

    Författare :Loghman Henareh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Diabetes mellitus; myocardial infarction; atherosclerosis; endothelial dysfunction; inflammation; microalbumiuria; left ventricular hypertrophy; tissue Doppler.;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and impaired glucose tolerance test (IGT) are well known risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Individuals with IGT, a prediabetic state, are asymptomatic during many years and they often remain undiagnosed until they have developed overt diabetes or cardiovascular complications. LÄS MER

  7. 20. Early Cardiovascular Changes of Familial Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in the Young

    Författare :Eva Fernlund; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; A-ECG. SCD.; advanced ECG; CMR; Tissue Doppler; Echocardiography; Microcirculation; LaserDoppler; Athletes heart; HCM; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy;

    Sammanfattning : Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited heart disease, transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion, i.e. 50% risk for transmission of the disease-causing mutation to each child of the affected family. LÄS MER
