1. 1. Diabetes mellitus and acute coronary syndromes. Prognosis and risk factors

   Författare :Ann-Marie Svensson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :diabetes; prognosis; hyperglycaemia; hypoglycaemia; risk-factors; morbidity; mortality; unstable coronary syndrome; unstable angina pectoris; acute myocardial infarction;

   Sammanfattning : Aims: the aims of the thesis were: - To investigate the prognostic influence of diabetes on short- and long-term mortality after an episode of unstable coronary disease - To evaluate the association between glycometabolic parameters on admission and during hospitalization and the 2 year mortality risk among diabetic patients with unstable coronary disease - To investigate the influence of diabetes on treatment and outcome in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) - To determine long-term morbidity and mortality after hospitalization for unstable coronary disease in patients with and without diabetes Diabetes was associated with higher mortality: We investigated an unselected series of 4,341 patients with unstable angina or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction, of which 722 (17%) had diabetes. Diabetes was associated with increased mortality during initial hospitalization (10. LÄS MER

3. 2. Treatment strategies in unstable coronary artery disease : economic and quality of life evaluations

   Författare :Magnus Janzon; Marcus Flather; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Sammanfattning : During the past few decades two treatment strategies have evolved for patients with unstable coronary artery disease (UCAD). The non-invasive strategy uses clinical investigations and non-invasive stress tests to identify patients who need diagnostic catheterisation. LÄS MER

4. 3. On-line vectorcardiography during coronary angioplasty and unstable coronary artery disease

   Författare :Jens Jensen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :vectorcardiography; myocardial ischemia; coronary artery disease; percutaneous coronary angioplasty; prognosis; gender; tissue Doppler echocardiography;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis evaluates the usefulness of continuous vectorcardiography (VCG) in patients undergoing elective coronary angioplasty and in patients with unstable coronary artery disease (CAD), for detection and quantitation of myocardial ischemia and for identification of patients at risk of coronary events. The aims were to investigate, whether continuous on-line VCG: 1. LÄS MER

5. 4. On-line vectorcardiography in ischemic heart disease

   Författare :Peter Lundin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Vectorcardiography; ischemia monitoring; coronary artery disease; exercise test; echocardiography; dobutamine; unstable angina pectoris; myocardial infarction; prognosis.;

   Sammanfattning : The clinical usefulness of continuous on-line vector cardiography (VCG) was assessed in 435 patients, admitted to the coronary care unit. The ability of 24-hour VCG monitoring to differentiate patients with or without ischemic heart disease (IHD), to provide long-term prognostic information and to predict results from a predischarge exercise test in patients with unstable angina pectoris or acute myocardial infarction (MI) was evaluated.

7. 5. Endothelial function and dysfunction in coronary artery bypass grafting

   Författare :Ulf Lockowandt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :CABG; Endothelin; Endothelin-blockers; endothelium; lactate; off-pump CABG; prostacyclin; radial artery; unstable angina pectoris;

   Sammanfattning : The integrity of the endothelium is of importance for short- and long-term results following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). In this thesis different factors of the endothelial role in the regulation of vascular tone in relation to various current aspects of CABG have been investigated. LÄS MER
