  2. 1. Role of ambulatory blood pressure monitoring after pediatric renal transplantation

    Author : Rafael Tomás Krmar; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Children; renal transplantation; office blood pressure; ambulatory blood pressure; hypertension;

    Abstract : Background: Office blood pressure (BP) readings, i.e., BP obtained in a clinical setting, are the basis of the present knowledge concerning the risks associated with hypertension. READ MORE

  4. 2. Computer-based detection of cardiac arrhythmias : methods and systems

    Author : Mats-Erik Nygårds; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Arrhythmia; monitoring; feature extraction; QRS delineation; power spectrum; ventricular fibrillation; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The aim of this study was to develop methods and systems which could improve the accuracy or arrhythmia monitoring and analysis of long-term ECGs and eliminate or reduce the need for continuous visual ECG screening. The detection of arrhythmias was based on an automatic classification of heart beats, using waveform features obtained from a basis signals representation. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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

  6. 4. Real-Time Monitoring of Healthcare Interventions in Routine Care : Effectiveness and Safety of Newly Introduced Medicines

    Author : Thomas Cars; Johan Sundström; Björn Wettermark; Martin Neovius; Til Stürmer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Electronic Health Records; Comparative Effectiveness Research; Comparative Safety Research; Sequential drug monitoring; propensity score; real-world data; infliximab; TNF-inhibitors; dronedarone; amiodarone; flecainide; Farmakoepidemiologi; Pharmacoepidemiology;

    Abstract : Before market authorization of new medicines, their efficacy and safety are evaluated using randomized controlled trials. While there is no doubt about the scientific value of randomized trials, they are usually conducted in selected populations with questionable generalizability to routine care. READ MORE

  7. 5. Continuous ambulatory hemodynamic monitoring with an implantable system : the feasibility of a new technique

    Author : Åke Ohlsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : heartfailure; hemodynamic monitoring; implantable; oxygen saturation; pressure; ambulatory; right ventricle; dPdt; long-term; sensor; cardiac output.;

    Abstract : Patients with chronic heart failure constitute an increasingly large group. Despite recent therapeutic improvements, these patients have a poor prognosis. READ MORE
