  2. 11. Surgical treatment of left main coronary artery stenosis

    Author : Anders Jönsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Left main coronary artery; Surgical arterial patch angioplasty; Angiographic classification; Intravascular ultrasound; Coronary artery bypass grafting; Mortality.;

    Abstract : Clinical experience and follow-up of patients operated on with surgical arterial patch angioplasty of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) and observational retrospective studies in patients with LMCA obstruction who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are reported. Patients: Forty-three patients were operated on with LMCA angioplasty during 1997 - 2003. READ MORE

  4. 12. Renal hemodynamics in renal artery stenosis and angiotensin II-dependent hypertension. Pathophysiological and diagnostic aspects

    Author : Aso Saeed; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : angiotensin II; autoregulation of renal blood flow; color duplex sonography; endothelin-1; oxidative stress; renal artery stenosis; renal hemodynamics; renovascular hypertension;

    Abstract : Patients with renovascular hypertension have a poor renal and cardiovascular prognosis. To improve the care of these patients, we need to increase knowledge about the pathophysiological mechanisms involved. READ MORE

  5. 13. Platelet function in diabetes mellitus : relationships to hyperglycaemia, antidiabetic treatment and microangiopathy

    Author : Marianne Yngen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Diabetes mellitus; platelet function; P-selectin; leukocyte-platelet cross-talk; endothelium; inflammation; coagulation; hyperglycaemia; metabolic control; microvascular complications; percutaneous coronary intervention.;

    Abstract : Diabetes mellitus is associated with accelerated atherosclerosis and increased morbidity and mortality in micro-and macrovascular complications. The metabolic derangements that accompany diabetes can adversely influence platelets and vascular endothelial function, which may contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic angiopathy. READ MORE

  6. 14. Growth factors and their interaction in the regulation of vascular cells : with special reference to diabetes

    Author : Gunilla Dahlfors; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells plays an important role in the development of atherosclerosis and in restenosis following balloon angioplasty. This study focuses on growth factors associated with diabetic vascular disease and their interaction in the regulation of vascular smooth muscle cell growth. READ MORE

  7. 15. Myocardial Perfusion and Function: Comparative assessment by ECG, SPECT and MRI

    Author : Eva Persson; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering; Physiology; radiologi; radiology; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; Clinical physics; ST-segment deviation ; myocardial ischemia ; myocardial perfusion ; MRI; CMR; MPS; ECG; SPECT; Fysiologi; Cardiovascular system; myocardial function ; Kardiovaskulära systemet;

    Abstract : Evaluation of myocardial perfusion and function is important in management of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease. This thesis focuses on the use of common diagnostic methods, myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (MPS) and electrocardiography (ECG), to enhance and validate the diagnostic information.
