  2. 11. Cost-effectiveness and Value of Further Research of Treatment Strategies for Cardiovascular Disease

    Author : Martin Henriksson; Per Carlsson; Fredrik Lundgren; Mark Scupher; Hans Severens; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Economic evaluation; decision-analytic modelling; prioritising research; carotid endarterectomy; abdominal aortic aneurysm; screening; non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome; early intervention; Health and medical services in society; Hälso- och sjukvård i samhället;

    Abstract : Economic evaluations provide a tool to estimate costs and health consequences of competing medical technologies, ultimately to aid decision makers when deciding which medical technologies should be funded from available resources. Such decisions inevitably need to be taken under uncertainty and it is not clear how to approach them in health care decision-making. READ MORE

  4. 12. Cerebral blood flow distribution, collateral function and pulsatility in healthy and in patients with symptomatic carotid stenosis  : a magnetic resonance imaging approach

    Author : Laleh Zarrinkoob; Jan Malm; Anders Eklund; Khalid Ambarki; Sepideh Amin-Hanjani; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Aging; Arterial pulsatility; Carotid stenosis; Cerebral arteries; Cerebral blood flow; Cerebral collateral blood flow; Circle of Willis; Phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging;

    Abstract : Background: For the detection and treatment of early cerebral vascular disease it is of paramount importance to first understand the normal physiology of the cerebral vasculature, and subsequently, to understand how and when pathology can develop from that. This is especially important as the population above 65 years of age is increasing and aging itself is an established risk factor for the development of cerebral vascular disease. READ MORE

  5. 13. Inflammation, Plaque Vulnerability and Cardiovascular Risk

    Author : Helena Grufman; Kardiovaskulär forskning - immunitet och ateroskleros; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atherosclerosis; carotid plaque; acute coronary syndrome; CRP; cytokines; aging; IL-27;

    Abstract : Acute cardiovascular events, most commonly caused by rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque, lie behind one third of all deaths worldwide. Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease of large and medium sized arteries driven by retention of lipid in the arterial wall. READ MORE

  6. 14. Improving stroke risk prediction and individualised treatment in carotid atherosclerosis

    Author : Eva Karlöf; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Unstable carotid atherosclerosis causes stroke, but methods to identify patients and lesions at risk are lacking. Currently, this risk estimation is based on measurements of stenosis and neurological symptoms, which determines the therapy of either medical treatment with or without carotid endarterectomy.

  7. 15. Timely treatment in stroke and TIA

    Author : Annika Nordanstig; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stroke; transient ischemic attack; campaign; carotid artery stenosis;

    Abstract : In acute stroke, the effect of both acute treatments and secondary prevention is timedependent. Patients´ delay is an important obstacle to acute recanalization therapy for stroke. To decrease this delay, a stroke educational campaign was carried out in Sweden. READ MORE
