2. 1. Women's hearts : ischaemic heart disease and stress management in women

   Author : Maria Claesson; Kjell Asplund; Gunilla Burell; Cecilia Mattsson; Annika Rosengren; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; ischaemic heart disease; women; cognitive-behavioural therapy; psychosocial risk factors; inflammation; leptin; haemostasis; fibrinolysis; insulin resistance; HRV; ischemic heart disease; cognitive behavioral therapy; heart rate variability; chd; cvd; cad; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; medicin; Medicine;

   Abstract : Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), caused by ischaemic heart disease (IHD), is a leading cause of death in both men and women in the western society. Hypertension, diabetes, and smoking are examples of well-known risk factors of IHD, but also there are psychosocial factors, such as stress, vital exhaustion (unusual fatigue, irritability, and demoralization) and depression that have been associated with an increased risk in both genders.

4. 2. Pharmacodynamic modeling of cardiovascular effects of Σb-antagonists and moxonidine : Special emphasis on tolerance and rebound effects

   Author : Lena Brynne; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pharmacy; FARMACI; PHARMACY; FARMACI; Biopharmaceutics; biofarmaci;

   Abstract : Pharmacodynamic (PD) modeling was used to characterize and quantify the short- and long-term changes in cardiovascular effects following treatment with β-antagonists or imidazoline receptor agonist moxonidine, in spontaneous hypertensive rats and patients with congestive heart failure, respectively. The complex cardiovascular system is regulated by several feedback mechanisms with different time domains and gains. READ MORE

5. 3. Autonomic cardiac control in patients with epilepsy : spectral analysis of heart rate variability

   Author : Håkan Persson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : SUDEP; autonomic nervous system; heart rate variability; epilepsy; carbamazepine; epilepsy surgery;

   Abstract : The heart is affected by the central nervous system via sympathetic and para-sympathetic efferents from autonomic centres in the brain stem. By assessing the beat to beat variation of the RR-intervals of the heart, i.e. the heart rate variability (HRV) it is possible to separately analyse sympathetic and parasympathetic effects on the heart.

6. 4. Ventricular repolarization in the human heart : effects of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions

   Author : Karolina J. Nowinski; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : QT interval; QT dispersion; PTCA; ischemia; T vector loop; AV junctional RF ablation; arrhythmia; sex hormones; hormone replacement therapy; cardiac memory ECG; signal-averaged ECG;

   Abstract : Ventricular arrhythmias is the main cause of sudden cardiac death. A prolonged repolarization might cause such arrhythmias, and an increased understanding about mechanisms is therefore important for their primary and secondary prevention. READ MORE

7. 5. Medical and social conditions in the elderly gender and age differences : the Umeå longitudinal study

   Author : Per Olov Österlind; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Population study; elderly; diseases; social situation; drug consumption; prognostic factors; reference intervals; blood components; electrocardiogram;

   Abstract : In 1981, no representative study of the medical and social conditions among elderly persons in northern Scandinavia was performed. Nor was there such a study in a smaller Swedish town than Gothenburg. This study was initiated to fill that knowledge gap. READ MORE
