2. 1. Autonomic function and myocardial repolarisation. Studies in renal diseases and in spinal cord injury

   Author : Sinsia Gao; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : vagus; sympathetic nervous system; repolarisation; baroreflex; reproducibility; agreement; hypertension; spinal cord injury; autonomic dysreflexia; renal failure.;

   Abstract : Both experimental and clinical evidence indicates that cardiac parasympathetic markers such as baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) and heart rate variability (HRV) have significant prognostic value. Furthermore, increased myocardial repolarisation lability reflected by increased QT variability index (QTVI) has been identified as a predictor for sudden cardiac death. READ MORE

4. 2. Markers of inflammation and cardiovascular disease in dialysis patients : variability and prognostic value

   Author : Sunna Snaedal; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Patients with end-stage renal disease are burdened with a high cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Inflammation is a common feature in these patients and strongly associates with cardiovascular complications and outcome. READ MORE

5. 3. Myocardial infarction and diabetes mellitus : studies on glucose lowering therapies and novel risk markers based on observations from the DIGAMI 2 trial

   Author : Linda Garcia Mellbin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and have a poor prognosis. Hyperglycemia is an independent risk predictor. The best tools for glucose control are debated. Important is identification of biomarkers to gain further pathophysiological insights and new therapeutic possibilities. READ MORE
