1. Psychological distress in coronary heart disease : Risk indicators, treatment and cardiovascular prognosis
Abstract : The aims of this thesis were to: (1) explore factors associated with emotional distress; (2) investigate psychosocial stress as a risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) morbidity in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD); (3) investigate the impact of group-based stress management on psychological outcomes, and if that mediates risk of CV events; and (4) evaluate an internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) for emotional distress in patients with a recent myocardial infarction (MI).In Study I, data from the national registry SWEDEHEART on 27,267 MI patients < 75 years was used.

2. Atrial Fibrillation in the setting of Coronary Artery Disease : Risks and outcomes with different treatment options
Abstract : Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide and atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent arrhythmia associated with increased risk of mortality and morbidity. Despite improved outcome in both diseases, there is a need to further describe the prevalence, outcome and management of CAD in patients with concomitant AF. READ MORE

4. Socioeconomic status and myocardial infarction : influence on secondary prevention and prognosis
Abstract : Background and Aims: In the wealth of research undertaken on myocardial infarctions (MIs), secondary prevention is less well studied. Incidence and death from MI have declined substantially in the past decades due to the identification of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, methods to assess risk in the general population, development of efficient therapies that modify risk factor levels, and the introduction of revascularization therapies used in the acute phase of a MI.
