  1. 6. Mitral Valve Surgery: Effects on Cardiac Reverse Remodeling, Hemodynamics, and Clinical Outcome

    Författare :Snejana Hyllen; Thoraxkirurgi; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac function; mitral regurgitation; myocardial remodeling; mitral valve repair;

    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

  3. 7. Extreme hemodilution: Effects of inhalation anesthetics, hypoxia, and blood loss. An Experimental study in pigs

    Författare :Henning Schou; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anaesthesiology; oxygen saturation.; blood volume; coronary circulation; blood lactate; oxygen uptake; Anemia; oxygen delivery; intensive care; Anestesiologi; intensivvård;

    Sammanfattning : Hemodilution reduces the need for blood transfusion and hereby the risk for transmission of infectious agents. The present study investigated effects on systemic and myocardial circulation and oxygenation, and blood lactate concentrations; induced by nitrous oxide, isoflurane, hypoxia, and uncompensated blood loss, in pigs hemodiluted to a hematocrit of 11%.

  4. 8. Hemodynamics, echocardiography, and biomarkers in different heart failure phenotypes

    Författare :Emil Najjar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background. Heart failure (HF) is a major health problem affecting millions of patients worldwide and is associated with impaired quality of life and poor prognosis. Different approaches including invasive and non-invasive methods can be used to provide information about the cardiac performance in HF patients. LÄS MER

  5. 9. The important role of left atrial function parameters in clinical practice

    Författare :Ibadete Bytyci; Michael Y. Henein; Roxy Senior; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Left atrial function; Left atrial compliance; left atrial stiffness; Clinical practice; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the role of left atrial function in clinical practice based on the following studies:1)    Determining left atrial (LA) structure and myocardial function measurements that predict pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP).2)    Identifying predictors of exercise capacity in patients with HFpEF and right ventricle (RV) dysfunction.

  7. 10. Studies on incretins and cardiovascular function

    Författare :David Nathanson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a strong risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD). A great many diabetic subjects suffer from congestive heart failure (CHF), a condition with a high concomitant mortality. So far, attempts aimed at reducing macrovascular complications in T2DM have been essentially futile. LÄS MER
