  2. 1. Inflammation, platelet aggregation and prognosis in acute myocardial infarction

    Author : Angelo Modica; Thomas Mooe; Håkan Wallén; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Myocardial infarction; C-reactive protein; platelet aggregation; prognosis; Cardiology; Kardiologi; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : The incidence of stroke and re-infarction is noticeably high in the first few days following acute myocardial infarction. This finding has raised questions whether the systemic inflammatory reaction secondary to myocardial necrosis is involved. READ MORE

    Abstract : Introduction. Multiple clinical methods for detecting myocardial ischemia are utilised in the hospital setting each day, but there is uncertainty about their diagnostic accuracy. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality : influence of fitness, fatness and genetic factors

    Author : Gabriel Högström; Anna Nordström; Peter Nordström; Johan Sundström; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; all-cause mortality; aerobic fitness; obesity; cardiovascular disease; stroke; myocardial infarction; Epidemiology; epidemiologi; Population studies; befolkningsstudier; Cardiology; kardiologi;

    Abstract : BackgroundLow aerobic fitness and obesity are associated with atherosclerosis, and thereforegreatly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and early death. It has long been known that atherosclerosis my begin early in life. READ MORE

  7. 5. Inflammation and cortisol response in coronary artery disease

    Author : Johnny Nijm; Lena Jonasson; Eva Särendahl; Per Tornvall; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Coronary artery disease; Cardiology; Kardiologi; Internal medicine; Invärtesmedicin;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is characterized by a chronic inflammation, involving autoimmune components, in the arterial wall. An increase in proinflammatory activity relative to anti-inflammatory activity is considered to cause a progression of the disease towards plaque instability and risk of atherothrombotic events, such as acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
