    Abstract : Background and aimsHeart failure (HF) is a major cause of serious morbidity and death in the population and one of the leading medical causes of hospitalization among people older than 60 years. The aim of this thesis was to describe how to create and how to analyze a Heart Failure Registry with emphasis on Anemia and Quality of Life. READ MORE

  4. 2. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in primary care

    Author : Björn Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a condition associated with low quality of life, high morbidity and mortality. It constitutes a diagnostic challenge and there is little evidence of effective treatments. READ MORE

  5. 3. On the assessment of right ventricular function using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and echocardiography

    Author : Stina Jorstig; Per Thunberg; Kent Emilsson; Mats Lidén; Micael Waldenborg; Einar Heiberg; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; right ventricle; stroke volume; ejection fraction; cardiac magnetic resonance; ehocardiography; Kirurgi; Surgery;

    Abstract : Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging are two commonly used imaging modalities for evaluating the size and function of the heart. There are advantages and disadvantages associated with both modalities when examining the right ventricle (RV). READ MORE

  6. 4. Biomarkers of inflammation in atrial fibrillation

    Author : Julia Aulin; Jonas Oldgren; Ziad Hijazi; Lars Wallentin; Håkan Wallén; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; biomarkers; inflammation; inflammatory biomarkers; oral anticoagulation; heart failure; left ventricular function; ejection fraction; risk assessment; risk prediction; interleukin 6 IL-6 ; C-reactive protein CRP ;

    Abstract : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common and associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure (HF) and mortality. Inflammation is linked to AF.The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate inflammatory activity and cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in patients with AF on effective oral anticoagulation.

  7. 5. Exercise in patients with chronic heart failure. With emphasis on peripheral muscle training, hydrotherapy and type 2 diabetes mellitus

    Author : Åsa Cider; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Exercise tolerance; Ejection fraction; Metabolic function; Muscle function; Oxygen uptake; Physical therapy techniques; Quality of life; Rehabilitation; Stroke volume; Water immersion;

    Abstract : Chronic heart failure (CHF) is not uncommon in developed countries with a growing ageing population. CHF is a chronic syndrome, which markedly impact negatively on the patient s life situation. Considerable impaired physical function and reduced health related quality of life is often present.
