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. Mitral Valve Surgery: Effects on Cardiac Reverse Remodeling, Hemodynamics, and Clinical Outcome
Sammanfattning : Normalization of life expectancy after mitral valve surgery is highly dependent on early diagnosis and referral for surgical treatment. Among cases treated surgically, the majority (60–70%) have a degenerative etiology, which is also easiest to repair. LÄS MER
4. Quantitative cardiac 15O-water PET : Assessment of left-ventricular function, remodeling, and impact of patient motion
Sammanfattning : International guidelines advocate the use of noninvasive cardiac imaging as the initial diagnostic test for coronary artery disease, the global leading cause of death according to the world health organization. Within the wide spectrum of cardiac imaging, 15O-water PET is the gold standard for noninvasive quantification of myocardial blood flow (MBF). LÄS MER
5. Studies on myocardial regeneration
Sammanfattning : Heart disease is one of the leading causes of adult and child morbidity and mortality. The underlying pathology leads typically to a loss of functional cardiomyocytes that causes heart failure. LÄS MER
