21. Clinical Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)
Abstract : Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease and most prevalent in the elderly. In the latest decades, a new method for replacement of the aortic valve: transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been introduced. READ MORE

22. Survival and functional recovery following valve replacement in patients with severe aortic stenosis
Abstract : Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common heart valve disease in Europe and North America. Age-related calcification of the valve is the commonest cause of acquired AS, especially in patients older than 70 years. READ MORE

23. Noninvasive evaluation of the effects of coronary artery bypass grafting on myocardial function
Abstract : Coronary bypass grafting (CABG) is an effective treatment of patients with coronary artery disease and leads to an improvement in both cardiac symptoms and long-term survival. The effects of CA13G on global left ventricular systolic and diastolic function at rest and during stress, and the long-term effects on right ventricular function and their significance and relation to early graft occlusion and residual myocardial ischemia have however not been fully elucidated.

24. Clinical and Laboratory Investigations in Postmenopusal Women with Unstable Coronary Artery Disease
Abstract : Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the major cause of death in both sexes in the western world. In men with chest pain the diagnostic methods are more useful than in women. An exercise test is considered less reliable in women, mostly due to a high percentage offalse positive tests. READ MORE

25. Echocardiography/Doppler for the evaluation of coronary artery function, left ventricular function and the relationship between early diastolic and systolic function
Abstract : Two specific areas of development in echocardiography are assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function and myocardial ischemia. This thesis describes echocardiographic methodology in these two areas. READ MORE
