  2. 1. Computer Assisted Coronary CT Angiography Analysis : Disease-centered Software Development

    Author : Chunliang Wang; Örjan Smedby; Anders Persson; Hans Frimmel; Markus Müller; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Coronary CTA; vessel segmenation; centerline tracking; visualization; Radiology; Radiologi; Image analysis; Bildanalys; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

    Abstract : The substantial advances of coronary CTA have resulted in a boost of use of this new technique in the last several years, which brings a big challenge to radiologists by the increasing number of exams and the large amount of data for each patient. The main goal of this study was to develop a computer tool to facilitate coronary CTA analysis by combining knowledge of medicine and image processing. READ MORE

  4. 2. Early Invasive Strategy in Unstable Coronary Artery Disease : Outcome in Relation to Risk Stratification

    Author : Erik Diderholm; Lars Grip; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Unstable angina; non-ST elevation myocardial infarction; risk stratification; coronary angiography; revascularisation; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Abstract : In unstable coronary artery disease (CAD) it still is a matter of debate which patients should undergo early revascularisation. In the FRISC II study (n=2457) an early invasive strategy was, compared to a primarily non-invasive strategy, associated with reduced mortality and myocardial infarction (MI) rates. READ MORE

  5. 3. Clinically Unrecognized Myocardial Scars Detected by MRI

    Author : Raquel Espregueira Themudo; Tomas Bjerner; Andrew Arai; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; unrecognized myocardial scars; myocardial infarction; epidemiology; magnetic resonance; computed topographic coronary angiography; exercise test; NT-proBNP; Radiology; Radiologi; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

    Abstract : A high percentage of unrecognized myocardial infarctions (UMIs) seen at delayed-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) are not detected by ECG. DE-MRI-detected UMIs are independent predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease. READ MORE

  6. 4. Quality Improvement in Acute Coronary Care : Combining the Use of an Interactive Quality Registry with a Quality Improvement Collaborative to Improve Clinical Outcome in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction

    Author : Rickard Carlhed; Bertil Lindahl; Leif Bojö; Duncan Neuhauser; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Quality Improvement; Quality Registry; Acute Coronary Care; Guideline Adherence; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

    Abstract : The quality of care for Swedish patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is continuously increasing. Nevertheless, a great potential for improvement still exists. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cardiac complications in celiac disease

    Author : Louise Emilsson; Jonas Ludvigsson; Roland Carlsson; Daniel Leffler; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial fibrillation; autoimmune; celiac disease; cohort; dilated cardiomyopathy; inflammation; myocardial infarction; registry; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

    Abstract : Background: Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated enteropathy induced by dietary gluten that affects about 1% of western populations. CD has been associated to an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality in some studies; however associations to cardiovascular diseases have not been broadly researched. READ MORE
