  2. 1. Surgical treatment in chronic aortic regurgitation : Timing, results, prognosis and left ventricular function

    Author : Éva Tamás; Christian Olin; Eva Nylander; Mats Broqvist; Dan Lindblom; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aortic regurgitation; left ventricular function; exercise; physical capacity; echocardiography; Thoracic surgery; Thoraxkirurgi;

    Abstract : Chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) of varying degree affects 13% of men and 8.5% of women. In persons with severe AR, the expected length of life and its quality are influenced. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cardiovascular modelling and ultrasound heart flow quantification : aortic flow and mitral regurgitation

    Author : Lars E. J. Eidenvall; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The primary objective of this thesis was to model and simulate aortic flow and mitral regurgitation and to improve quantitative ultrasound measurements. The tools used were; theoretical analysis, computer simulation, model experiments, image analysis and clinical evaluation. READ MORE

  5. 3. On modelling and simulation of the human cardiovascular system : with special reference to aortic coarctation and mitral regurgitation

    Author : Matts Karlsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this thesis the method of identification has been proposed for interpreting data obatined from pressure measurement on patients with aortic coarctation. In order to investigate its charcteristics and applicability the algortithm for identification was initially tested using a simple model of the human cardiovascular system. READ MORE

  6. 4. Mitral Valve Surgery: Effects on Cardiac Reverse Remodeling, Hemodynamics, and Clinical Outcome

    Author : Snejana Hyllen; Thoraxkirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac function; mitral regurgitation; myocardial remodeling; mitral valve repair;

    Abstract : Normalization of life expectancy after mitral valve surgery is highly dependent on early diagnosis and referral for surgical treatment. Among cases treated surgically, the majority (60–70%) have a degenerative etiology, which is also easiest to repair. READ MORE

  7. 5. Echocardiographic assessment and B-type natriuretic peptide for risk evaluation in acute coronary syndromes

    Author : Anita Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acute coronary syndromes; Dopplerechocardiography; BNP; mortality; NT-proBNP; mitral regurgitation; congestive heart failure; restrictive filling pattern;

    Abstract : Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) is one of the most common causes of emergency medical care and the single most common cause of death in Sweden in both men and women. Despite a significant improvement in survival in the acute phase, the frequency of rehospitalization and death in subsequent years is unacceptably high. READ MORE
