2. 1. Neuropsychological Function After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

   Author : Cecilia Dautovic Bergh; Institutionen för psykologi; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; neuropsychology; neurophysiology; Neurology; coronary artery bypass surgery; S100B; neuropsychological function; Psychology; Neurologi; neuropsykologi; neurofysiologi; Psykologi;

   Abstract : Despite considerable research efforts, the incidence and mechanisms of diffuse cognitive impairment after coronary artery bypass surgery are not fully understood. The aim of the dissertation was to describe cognitive changes after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and the predictors and consequences thereof. READ MORE

4. 2. Coronary artery bypass surgery without extracorporeal circulation

   Author : Jenny Vedin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Cardiopulmonary bypass; off pump; hemodynamics; myocardial damage; inflammation; hemostasis; cognitive function;

   Abstract : Introduction: Coronary artery bypass surgery with extracorporeal circulation is associated with a systemic inflammatory response syndrome that contributes to morbidity and mortality. Aortic cross clamping and cardioplegic arrest induces an ischemic insult to the heart and is a risk factor for neurological injury. READ MORE

5. 3. Waiting time and mortality in coronary artery bypass grafting patients

   Author : Helena Rexius; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : coronary artery bypass grafting; waiting time; mortality; gender; risk score;

   Abstract : Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) has emerged as one of the most common major surgical procedures worldwide. Unfortunately the capacity is still unable to meet the demand in many countries. This leads to waiting times before surgery, prioritisation between patients and ultimately to deaths among the patients on the waiting list.Aims: 1. READ MORE

6. 4. Manifestations and Survival in Coronary Heart Disease

   Author : Kerstin Dudas; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : coronary heart disease; acute coronary syndrome; coronary-bypass grafting; mortality; case fatality; survival; manifestation; predictors; risk factors; trends; cholesterol;

   Abstract : Aim: To investigate how risk factors predict manifestations in coronary heart disease (CHD), and trends in short-term and long-term survival including trends in out-of-hospital mortality. Populations and methods: In the first study 7388 men aged 47 to 55 and free of previous acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or stroke were investigated during 28 years’ follow-up. READ MORE

7. 5. Left ventricular filling during coronary artery bypass grafting

   Author : Sten Samuelsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Heart: surgery; coronary artery revascularization; ventricle; mitral valve Cardiopulmonary bypass Cardiac output Thermodilution Echocardiography: transesophageal; two-dimensional; Doppler Radionuclide ventriculographySten Samue;

   Abstract : Left ventricular (LV) filling, determination of preload, right ventricular end-diastolic volumes, volume contributions during early (E) and atrial (A) phases of LV filling and mitral valve opening areas were studied in 75 patients scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). The purposes of the study were: (1) To evaluate changes in LV filling judged as peak velocity E/A ratios determined by Doppler transesophageal echocardiography during and in the early phase after CABG.
