2. Aspects on wall properties of the brachial artery in man : with special reference to SLE and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus
Abstract : The mechanical properties of the arterial wall are of great importance for blood pressure regulation and cardiac load. With increasing age, large arteries are affected by increased wall stiffness. READ MORE

3. Measure the pressure and measure it right, at the brachial artery with infrared light
Abstract : This thesis describes the development and assessment of an optical probe and instrument based on photoplethysmography (PPG) for monitoring of systolic blood pressure on the upper arm. The development procedure steps have included investigation of best probe position above the brachial artery, probe location underneath the occlusion cuff and also assessment of the ability of infrared light to mirror a blood flow related signal from a deeper vascular depth where the brachial artery is found.

4. On endothelial function in type 2 diabetic patients with coronary artery disease
Abstract : Patients with type 2 diabetes have a poor outcome suffering a myocardial infarction (MI). Endothelial dysfunction may play a role in this poor prognosis. In type 2 diabetes, endothelial dysfunction is a salient feature coexisting with obesity and insulin resistance and may be linked by the same pathophysiology, i.e. READ MORE

5. Importance of peripheral arterial disease as a risk marker in patients with myocardial infarction
Abstract : The purpose of this thesis was to describe the true prevalence of widespread arterial disease in a cohort with patients with a recent myocardial infarction (MI) to find valuable clinical methods to detect these patients. Our aim was also to investigate biomarker relationships with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and the importance of PAD in patients’ long-term outcomes. READ MORE
