2. 1. Endothelium-dependent vasodilation in essential hypertension

   Author : Jonas Millgård; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medical sciences; endothelium; hypertension; human; blood pressure; vasodilation; ACE-inhibition; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Internal Medicine; invärtesmedicin;

   Abstract : The vascular endothelium plays a crucial role in the regulation of several homeostatic parameters in the circulation. In this thesis, the influences of essential hypertension and antihypertensive agents on endothelium-dependent vasodilation (EDV) were evaluated in the human forearm circulation. READ MORE

4. 2. Variability of blood pressure and heart rate in borderline and mild hypertension : With special reference to spectral analysis

   Author : Reijo Takalo; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medical sciences; hypertension; blood pressure; ambulatory monitoring; power spectrum analysis; pulsecontour method; systemic hemodynamics; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Clinical Physiology; klinisk fysiologi;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to study whether blood pressure (BP) or heart rate (HR) variability in borderline (BHT) and hypertensive (HT) subjects differs from that in normotensive (NT) subjects, and whether indices for BP and HR variability can be used in risk stratification for future hypertension. The study groups consisted of 35 NT, 29 BHT, and 34 HT middle-aged men. READ MORE

5. 3. Endothelin in the pulmonary circulation with special reference to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction

   Author : Peter Holm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : bosentan; BMS-182874; ; BQ-123; BQ-788; endothelin; endothelium; hypoxia; hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction; pulmonary hypertension; receptor antagonism; TBC 11251.;

   Abstract : A number of substances originating from the pulmonary endothelium have recently been found to be involved in the regulation of pulmonary vascular tone. Accumulating evidence suggests that endothelial dysfunction contributes to pulmonary hypertension, an important clinical problem often associated with hypoxemia. READ MORE

6. 4. Diabetes mellitus and the risk of dementia

   Author : Weili Xu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Diabetes; borderline diabetes; dementia; Alzheimer¡¯s disease; vascular dementia; blood glucose; vascular comorbidities; prospective study; population-based twin study;

   Abstract : This doctoral thesis investigated the complex relationship between diabetes and the risk of dementia, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD), and examined the effect of borderline diabetes on the risk of dementia and AD. The data of this thesis were derived from the Kungsholmen Project (Studies I, II, and III) and from the HARMONY Study (Study IV). READ MORE

7. 5. On Renal Artery Stenosis

   Author : Hampus Eklöf; Rickard Nyman; David Bergqvist; Bertil Andrén; Lars Lönn; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Radiology; Renal artery obstruction; Comparative studies; Contrast media; adverse events; Revascularization; Radiologisk forskning; Radiological research; Radiologisk forskning;

   Abstract : Renal artery stenosis (RAS) is a potentially curable cause of hypertension and azotemia. Besides intra-arterial renal angiography there are several non-invasive techniques utilized to diagnose patients with suspicion of renal artery stenosis. READ MORE
