2. 1. Age and gender differences in risk factor burden, myocardial dysfunction and cardiovascular events in relation to glucose metabolism

   Author : Margrét Leosdottir; Internmedicin - epidemiologi; []
   Keywords : Age; cardiovascular disease; diabetes; echocardiography; gender; glucose; left ventricular function; Nt-proBNP; self-rated health;

   Abstract : The risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and heart failure (HF) among individuals with diabetes is at least two times greater than in non-diabetic subjects. However, the excess risk of CVD in diabetic subjects seems to decrease with age. READ MORE

4. 2. Disturbances in myocardial diastolic and vascular function with the emphasis on type 2 diabetes : diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities

   Author : Christina Jarnert; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background and aims: Cardiovascular involvement is common in diabetes and diastolic myocardial and endothelial dysfunction are early signs. The prognosis is serious and tools for early detection and a search for improved management strategies are important. READ MORE

5. 3. Impaired glucose tolerance in ischemic heart disease

   Author : Loghman Henareh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Diabetes mellitus; myocardial infarction; atherosclerosis; endothelial dysfunction; inflammation; microalbumiuria; left ventricular hypertrophy; tissue Doppler.;

   Abstract : Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) and impaired glucose tolerance test (IGT) are well known risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Individuals with IGT, a prediabetic state, are asymptomatic during many years and they often remain undiagnosed until they have developed overt diabetes or cardiovascular complications. READ MORE

6. 4. Left Ventricular Function in Elderly Men : Metabolic, Hormonal, Genetic and Prognostic Implications

   Author : Johan Ärnlöv; Anders Waldenström; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; echocardiography; heart failure; left ventricular function; genetics; mortality; insulin sensitivity; natriuretic peptides; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; Geriatrics; geriatrik;

   Abstract : Heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction are major causes of morbidity and mortality. In this thesis, metabolic, hormonal, genetic and prognostic aspects of echocardiographically determined left ventricular function were investigated in a fairly large longitudinal population-based study of men.

7. 5. Aspects on gender, quality of life and diastolic function in patients with cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes

   Author : Laura Venskutonyte; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: A majority of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) suffer and die from a cardiovascular disease (CVD). Because of the increasing prevalence of diabetes, it today rivals smoking, hypertension and hypercholesterolemia as a major risk factor for CVD resulting in a need for more attention and further investigations.
