  2. 1. Platelet Inhibition, Revascularization, and Risk Prediction in Non-ST-elevation Acute Coronary Syndromes

    Author : Daniel Lindholm; Stefan James; Christoph Varenhorst; James de Lemos; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; coronary artery disease; myocardial infarction; acute coronary syndrome; non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndrome; P2Y12 inhibitors; ticagrelor; biomarkers; revascularization; percutaneous coronary intervention; risk prediction; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide and ischemic heart disease is the most common manifestation. Despite improved outcomes during the last decades, patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) are still at substantial risk of recurrent ischemic events and mortality. READ MORE

  4. 2. No touch vein harvesting technique for coronary artery by-pass surgery : impact on patency rate, development of atheroscleosis, left ventricular function and clinical outcome during 16 years follow-up

    Author : Benny Johansson; Eva Swahn; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atherosclerosis; coronary artery disease; coronary artery bypass grafting; vein grafts; no touch vein harvesting technique; intravascular ultrasound; echocardiography; clinical outcome; revascularization; outcome analysis; angina pectoris; myocardial infarction; mortality; randomized trial; Surgery; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : This thesis was based on a prospective randomized trial which was started in 1993 to compare the no touch (NT) with the conventional (C) technique of saphenous vein harvesting for CABG.In paper I, was demonstrated superior patency for the NT grafts at short-term (1.5 years; 95,6% vs 89%; p < 0,05) and long-term follow-up (8.

  5. 3. Insight into coronary artery ectasia

    Author : Usama Boles; Michael Y. Henein; Peter Eriksson; Corrado Tamurino; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Coronary artery ectasia; atherosclerosis; acute coronary syndrome; lipidomic profile; cytokines; prognosis of coronary artery ectasia; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Abstract : Background:Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is defined as a diffuse dilatation of the epicardial coronary arteries exceeding 1.5 folds the diameter of the normal adjacent arterial segment and/ or the remaining non-dilated part of the same artery. (1) The incidence of CAE has been variably reported between different nations and ranges between 1. READ MORE

  6. 4. Prognostic impact of coronary microvascular funtion in patients with ischemic heart disease

    Author : Inger Haraldsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; coronary microvascular function; coronary flow reserve; coronary artery disease; acute coronary syndromes; thrombus aspiration; pretreatment; SCAAR; SWEDHEART;

    Abstract : Background: Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death globally. Despite recent advances in interventional and medical therapies, survivors of myocardial infarction are at high risk of recurrent cardiovascular events. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cardiovascular events after acute coronary syndrome with special reference to ischemic stroke

    Author : Anders Ulvenstam; Thomas Mooe; Bo Carlberg; Per Tornvall; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular disease; acute coronary syndrome; acute myocardial infarction; ischemic stroke; time trends; risk factors; P2Y12-receptor inhibitor; ticagrelor; major adverse cardiovascular events; revascularization; lipid-lowering therapy; Medicine; medicin; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Abstract : Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) encompasses acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and unstable angina (UA). It is a global major cause of morbidity and mortality in both the short and long terms. READ MORE
