  2. 1. Coagulation, Inflammation and Myocardial Dysfunction in Unstable Coronary Artery Disease and the Influence of Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibition and Low Molecular Weight Heparin

    Author : Stefan James; Lars Wallentin; Agneta Siegbahn; Robbert de Winter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Acute coronary syndrome; Angina; Mortality; Myocardial infarction; Glycoprotein IIb IIIa inhibition; Troponin; C-reactive protein; Coagulation; Natriuretic peptide; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Abstract : Hjärt-kärl sjukdom är den vanligaste dödsorsaken i västvärlden. Samtidigt som antalet patienter med hjärtinfarkt har minskat, har antalet patienter med instabil kranskärlsjukdom d.v.s. READ MORE

  4. 2. Severe angina pectoris and spinal cord stimulation. Long-term effects and safety aspects

    Author : Olof Ekre; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Angina pectoris; Epidemiology; Spinal cord stimulation; Quality of life; Mortality; Health care costs; Electromagnetic interference; Placebo effects;

    Abstract : Refractory angina pectoris has been defined as coronary artery disease and severe angina, where standard pharmacological and invasive treatment possibilities are exhausted. The epidemiology of this condition is virtually unknown.During the last few decades, additional treatment options have evolved for this condition. READ MORE

  5. 3. Refractory angina pectoris. Patient characteristics, safety and long-term effects of spinal cord stimulation

    Author : Paulin Andréll; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Angina pectoris; Deep white matter disease; Epidemiology; Health care costs; Morbidity; Mortality; Quality of life; Spinal cord stimulation;

    Abstract : Refractory angina pectoris has been defined as severe angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease which cannot be controlled by conventional pharmacological or surgical therapy. The epidemiology of this condition is virtually unknown. During the last decades, additional treatment options have been developed for this condition. READ MORE

  6. 4. Myocardial gene therapy and gene expression in angina pectoris

    Author : Andreas Rück; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Angina pectoris; gene therapy; vascular endothelial growth factor; plasmid; prognosis; collaterals; angiogenesis; gene expression; microarray; natriuretic peptides.;

    Abstract : Background: Angiogenesis does not fully counteract myocardial ischemia in stable angina pectoris. Refractory angina pectoris, with remaining symptoms despite medication and no possibility for bypass surgery or angioplasty, is rather common. Angiogenic gene therapy is a novel treatment strategy for these patients. READ MORE

  7. 5. Heart rate variability in patients with stable angina pectoris

    Author : Inge Björkander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Ambulatory electrocardiographic registrations; autonomic nervous system; coronary artery disease; differential index; heart rate variability; prognosis;

    Abstract : The rate and modulation of the heart beat (i.e. heart rate variability; HRV) are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Cardiac sympathetic activation decreases and parasympathetic increases HRV. READ MORE
