1. Platelet Inhibition, Revascularization, and Risk Prediction in Non-ST-elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes
Abstract : Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and ischemic heart disease is the most common manifestation. Despite improved outcomes during the last decades, patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are still at substantial risk of recurrent ischemic events and mortality. READ MORE

2. Biomarkers of Renal Function in Acute Coronary Syndromes
Abstract : The thesis aimed to investigate cystatin C and creatinine-based estimates of glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), both at admission and during follow-up, on the combined endpoint of cardiovascular death and myocardial infarction in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We also evaluated two cystatin C assays and assessed genetic determinants of cystatin C concentrations. READ MORE

3. Acute Coronary Syndromes. Characteristics, management and prognosis in relation to gender and type of syndrome
Abstract : ABSTRACT Background: Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) represent a wide spectrum of conditions from ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) to unstable angina pectoris (UAP). Randomized trials tend to focus on ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST-elevation ACS, and consequently studies providing data on the entire condition are relatively scarce, especially with information including long-term follow-up.

4. Cost-effectiveness and Value of Further Research of Treatment Strategies for Cardiovascular Disease
Abstract : Economic evaluations provide a tool to estimate costs and health consequences of competing medical technologies, ultimately to aid decision makers when deciding which medical technologies should be funded from available resources. Such decisions inevitably need to be taken under uncertainty and it is not clear how to approach them in health care decision-making. READ MORE

5. Predictors of arrhythmias, cardiac arrest, and mortality in acute coronary syndrome
Abstract : Background. Patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) face a high risk of lethal complications, both during the hospital course and after discharge. READ MORE
