1. Right heart function in health and disease : a doppler echocardiography and doppler tissue imaging study
Abstract : Background: It is well known that performance of the right ventricle (RV) determines exercise capacity and may confer prognostic information in different cardiopulmonary diseases. To allow optimal patient management, ideal methods to assess right heart function are therefore important. READ MORE

2. Ventricular Long Axis Function: Amplitudes and Timings : Echocardiographic Studies in Health and Disease
Abstract : Background: The ageing process not only increases the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) but also complicates its diagnosis and treatment. It is therefore important to understand the newer concepts of cardiovascular ageing physiology as well as methods of predicting the outcomes of therapeutic options available for the elderly with severe CAD.

3. Prognostic and diagnostic value of tissue Doppler in patients with systolic heart failure
Abstract : Heart failure (HF) is a condition where the heart fails to meet the need of delivery of oxygen and energy to the tissues. In spite of advances in the recent decades, the prognosis is still serious with a mortality risk comparable to severe cancer. The most common heart imaging method today is ultrasound of the heart, or echocardiography. READ MORE

4. Left atrial function in health and disease
Abstract : The Objectives of this thesis are:1) To study possible atrial interaction in patients with right and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction due to significant pulmonary (PS) and aortic valve stenosis (AS), respectively.2) To assess left atrial (LA) intrinsic myocardial function and its relationship to indirect measures of left ventricular (LV) filling pressures in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF).

5. Disturbances in myocardial diastolic and vascular function with the emphasis on type 2 diabetes : diagnostic and therapeutic opportunities
Abstract : Background and aims: Cardiovascular involvement is common in diabetes and diastolic myocardial and endothelial dysfunction are early signs. The prognosis is serious and tools for early detection and a search for improved management strategies are important. READ MORE
