   Abstract : BackgroundCardiovascular disease, of which coronary heart disease constitutes the lion’s share, is the leading cause of premature morbidity and mortality worldwide. Management of the condition has evolved rapidly in recent decades, and mortality has more than halved in the western world.

4. 2. Insights into the relationship between coronary calcification and atherosclerosis risk factors

   Author : Rachel Nicoll; Michael Henein; Gunilla Olivecrona; Jan Engvall; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Coronary artery calcification; risk factors; atherosclerosis; stenosis; Cardiology; kardiologi;

   Abstract : Introduction Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common cause of death in Europe and North America and early detection of atherosclerosis is a clinical priority. Diagnosis of CAD remains conventional angiography, although recent technology has introduced non-invasive imaging of coronary arteries using computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTCA), which enables the detection and quantification of coronary artery calcification (CAC).

5. 3. Sleep-Wake-Activity and Health-Related Quality of Life in Patients with Coronary Artery Disease and evaluation of an individualized non-pharmacological programme to promote self-care in sleep

   Author : Anna Johansson; Ulla Edéll-Gustafsson; Jan Ejdebäck; Jan-Erik Broman; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Actigraphy; coronary artery disease; health-related quality of life; insomnia; non-pharmacological programme; nursing; self-care management; sleep-activity; sleep quality;

   Abstract : Sleep is a basic need, important to physical and psychological recovery.

6. 4. Hemostasis in middle-aged women with coronary heart disease

   Author : Margita Eriksson-Berg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Women; coagulation; fibrinolysis; coronary heart disease; genetics; exercise test.;

   Abstract : Inflammation and hemostasis play important roles in atherosclerotic disease. Chronic low-grade inflammation contributes to plaque vulnerability and rupture, and the subsequent thrombus formation is identified as the key mechanism in the pathogenesis of the acute coronary syndromes.

7. 5. Epidemiology of heart failure and feasibility of home care in patients with worsening chronic heart failure

   Author : Masoud Shafazand; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Chronic heart failure; mortality; deterioration; hospitalisation; gender; home care; quality-adjusted life years; emergency care; health care costs; ischaemic; non-ischaemic; health-related quality of life; conventional care; acute myocardial infarction; coronary heart disease; heart failure;

   Abstract : Aim: To investigate gender-specific trends in long-term mortality in patients hospitalised for ischaemic and non-ischaemic heart failure (HF) and explore temporal trends in the risk of HF complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Another aim is to characterise patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) that seek an emergency department (ED) because of their deteriorating condition and evaluate the feasibility of home care (HC) in comparison with conventional care (CC) in patients with worsening CHF.
