  2. 1. On the causes of ventricular arrhythmia, its treatment and outcome

    Author : Christina M Holmgren; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Cardiac arrest; ICD; ventricular arrhythmia;

    Abstract : On the causes of ventricular arrhythmia, its treatment and outcome Christina Holmgren Institute of Medicine Sahlgrenska Academy at University of Gothenburg Göteborg, Sweden ABSTRACT Background: Ventricular arrhythmia is the most common aetiology of sudden cardiac death. Death can sometimes be prevented by the implantation of a defibrillator (ICD). READ MORE

  4. 2. Aspects of post-resuscitation care after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

    Author : Louise Martinell; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; out-of-hospital cardiac arrest; survival; Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator; Prediction of prognosis; mild induced hypothermia;

    Abstract : Background: Cardiac disease is the most common cause of death in the western world and the majority of these deaths are due to out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). In Sweden, approximately 10,000 persons suffer an OHCA annually and in 5000 cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is initiated. READ MORE

  6. 4. Assessment of myocardial viability using magnetic resonance imaging

    Author : Robert Jablonowski; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Magnetic resonance imaging; myocardial infarction; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; fibrosis; viability;

    Abstract : Myocardial infarction (MI) following an acute coronary occlusion is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. During revascularization, microemboli may complicate treatment and affect cardiac function. The long-term effects of microembolization are not fully elucidated. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies on malignant ventricular tachyarrhythmias and their treatment with an implantable defibrillator

    Author : Bengt Sandstedt; Göteborgs universitet; []
