1. 6. Psychosocial risk factors in women with coronary heart disease : stress, social support and a behavioral intervention

   Författare :May Blom; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Stress; social support; CHD; women; behavioral intervention.;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Studies have shown that psychosocial factors such as stress at work and from marriage as well as lack of social support and depression may influence recovery following an acute coronary event. Rehabilitation programs after these events including stress management may improve both general health and prognosis. LÄS MER

3. 7. Prevention of intimal hyperplasia after balloon angioplasty and / or stent insertion. or How to mend a broken heart - Just say NO

   Författare :Jan Harnek; Kardiologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system; Remodeling. Endothelium-derived factors. Self-expanding stents. Restenosis. Scanning -electron microscopy. Endothelial factors. Nitric oxide. Intimal hyperplasia. Angioplasty. Stents. Interventional procedures. Endothelium.;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Restenosis is the most frequently occurring adverse event after percutaneous intravascular treatment of atherosclerotic lesions, which limits long-term patency of the intervention. Objective: The aim of the study was to evaluate if minimizing vascular injury during treatment by insertion of self-expanding stents or modifying the reparative mechanisms by local drug delivery can reduce restenosis.

4. 8. Non-conventional risk and prognostic factors in coronary heart disease : studies on heart rate variability, alcohol consumption, inflammation and depression

   Författare :Imre Janszky; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background and aims: Although, there has been a drop in age-specific coronary heart disease (CHD) incidence, and its prognosis has improved considerably in most parts of the industrialized world, CHD is still by far the leading cause of death in industrialized countries. The established, conventional risk factors, i.e. LÄS MER

5. 9. Myocardial Perfusion and Function: Comparative assessment by ECG, SPECT and MRI

   Författare :Eva Persson; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering; Physiology; radiologi; radiology; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; Clinical physics; ST-segment deviation ; myocardial ischemia ; myocardial perfusion ; MRI; CMR; MPS; ECG; SPECT; Fysiologi; Cardiovascular system; myocardial function ; Kardiovaskulära systemet;

   Sammanfattning : Evaluation of myocardial perfusion and function is important in management of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease. This thesis focuses on the use of common diagnostic methods, myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (MPS) and electrocardiography (ECG), to enhance and validate the diagnostic information.

7. 10. High-Frequency ECG in Ischemic Heart Disease

   Författare :Jonas Pettersson; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiology; Clinical physics; high-frequency QRS components; electrocardiogram; myocardial infarction; myocardial ischemia; Ischemic heart disease; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

   Sammanfattning : Analysis of high-frequency QRS components (HF-QRS) is one of the emerging methods for increasing the diagnostic performance of the electrocardiogram (ECG). The overall objective of the thesis is to investigate whether analysis of HF-QRS has the ability to provide information about ischemic heart disease and so serve as an adjunctive diagnostic tool in several clinical situations.
