    Abstract : Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited heart disease, transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion, i.e. 50% risk for transmission of the disease-causing mutation to each child of the affected family. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cardio-pulmonary function in familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy : a clinical study of cases from northern Sweden

    Author : Bert-Ove Olofsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; amyloidosis; atrioventricular conduction; ECG; echocardiography; hemodynamics; pulmonary diffusing capacity;

    Abstract : Familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (FAP) was first reported from Portugal in 1952, but since then this syndrome has been recognized in many countries including Sweden. In this investigation cardiac and pulmonary functions in the Swedish variety of FAP were studied. READ MORE

  5. 3. Advanced electrocardiography in myocardial electrical remodeling : insights from cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging

    Author : Maren Maanja; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a common diagnostic tool in cardiology thanks to its high accessibility and low cost. However, in several cardiovascular diagnoses, including left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), current conventional ECG measures and criteria have a poor diagnostic performance. READ MORE
