1. Myocardial metabolism in experimental infarction and heart failure
Sammanfattning : Abstract The heart is an organ heavily dependent on exogenous lipids for the oxidative production of adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) and therefore maintenance of normal cellular energy homeostasis. However, high energy flux organs such as the heart must closely match lipid import and utilization or otherwise lipids will accumulate in the cardiomyocytes. LÄS MER
2. Myocardial creatine metabolism in experimental infarction and heart failure
Sammanfattning : The failing heart is characterized by changes in structure, function and metabolism. All these changes are usually defined as pathologic remodelling. An important part of this negative remodelling process is disturbances in the myocardial energy metabolism. LÄS MER
3. Surgery for aortic stenosis : with special reference to myocardial metabolism, postoperative heart failure and long-term outcome
Sammanfattning : Postoperative heart failure (PHF) remains a major determinant of the outcome after cardiac surgery. However, characteristics of and risk factors for PHF after valve surgery have received little attention. LÄS MER
4. Cardiac lipid storage and metabolism following myocardial ischemia
Sammanfattning : Myocardial ischemia is associated with cellular- and metabolic adjustments within the heart, including accumulation of lipids. Myocardial lipids are stored in cytosolic droplets, consisting of a core of neutral lipids surrounded by a complex surface containing proteins, such as perilipins. LÄS MER
5. Myocardial metabolism and ischemia assessed by microdialysis. Clinical and experimental studies in cardiac surgery
Sammanfattning : Background: The available methods to study myocardial metabolism and ischemia show considerable limitations when employed during and after cardiac surgery. Microdialysis is a technique for continuous sampling of substances from the interstitium. LÄS MER
