   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; first-ever acute myocardial infarction; first-ever stroke; bilirubin; iron; HFE genotypes; UGT1A1*28; prospective; risk factor; Cardiovascular medicine; Kardiovaskulär medicin; Epidemiology; Epidemiologi; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

   Abstract : Background Cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction and stroke, are the main reason of death in Sweden and Western Europe. High iron stores are believed to produce oxygen radicals, which is the presumed putative mechanism behind lipid peroxidation, atherosclerosis and subsequent cardiovascular disease. READ MORE

4. 2. Left ventricular thrombus and stroke after acute myocardial infarction

   Author : Thomas Mooe; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; myocardial infarction; thrombolytic therapy; left ventricular thrombosis; risk factors; cerebral embolism and thrombosis;

   Abstract : A left ventricular thrombus develops in approximately 40% of patients following an anterior myocardial infarction. Embolization from these thrombi has been regarded as the most important cause of stroke following a myocardial infarction. READ MORE

5. 3. Beyond the established risk factors of myocardial infarction : lifestyle factors and novel biomarkers

   Abstract : Age, male sex, hypertension, smoking, diabetes, dyslipidaemia, and obesity are considered as established risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Several of these established cardiovascular risk factors are strongly influenced by lifestyle. READ MORE

6. 4. Social determinants of leisure time physical activity, body mass index, and acute myocardial infarction

   Abstract : There are substantial socioeconomic differences in cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in most western countries. Socioeconomic differences in cardiovascular risk factors (obesity/overweight, tobacco smoking, leisure time physical activity, dietary habits) are correspondingly large. READ MORE

7. 5. Socioeconomic status and myocardial infarction : influence on secondary prevention and prognosis

   Author : Joel Ohm; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   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.
