2. 1. Renal insufficiency, mortality and myocardial infarction

   Author : Martin Holzmann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Patients with dialysis-dependent renal insufficiency (RI) have a markedly increased risk of dying or developing cardiovascular disease. Among patients who have coronary heart disease (CHD), moderate or severe RI is associated with increased mortality. READ MORE

4. 2. Cardiovascular Risk Genes in Prevention and Treatment Response

   Author : Viktor Hamrefors; Kardiovaskulär forskning - hypertoni; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; blood pressure treatment; hypertension; statins; dyslipidemia; cardiovascular prevention; cardiovascular genetics; stroke; coronary artery disease; chromosome 9p21; pharmacogenetics; pharmacogenomics;

   Abstract : GENERAL AIM: To investigate how common single-nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) that associate with cardiovascular disease (CVD) could be used in prevention and treatment of CVD. SUBJECTS: Subjects from the population-based Malmö-Diet-and-Cancer-(MDC)-Study (n=30447) and hypertensives from the Nordic-Diltiazem-(NORDIL)-Study (n=10881). READ MORE

5. 3. Fibrinogen and susceptibility to myocardial infarction : role of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions

   Author : Maria Nastase Mannila; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Atherothrombosis; epistasis; fibrinogen; fibrinogen gamma; fibrin clot structure; haplotypes; myocardial infarction; pleiotropy; SNPs;

   Abstract : Fibrinogen, the precursor of fibrin, is a glycoprotein synthesized in the liver and maintained in plasma at concentrations normally ranging between 2-4 g/L. The fibrinogen molecule consists of two sets of three non-identical polypeptide chains, which are encoded by the fibrinogen gamma (FGG), fibrinogen alpha (FGA) and fibrinogen beta (FGB) genes clustered on chromosome 4.

6. 4. Lipid-related genes and their associations with coronary heart disease

   Author : Ci Song; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a complex disease caused by the long-term progression of atherosclerosis. Lipids, including high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglycerides (TG) are well established biomarkers for CHD, and are used to predict individual 10-year risk for CHD both in the Framingham risk score and in the System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (SCORE) project.

7. 5. Atherosclerotic Plaque Stability and Vascular Repair

   Author : Anki Knutsson; Kärlväggsbiologi; []
   Keywords : atherosclerosis; diabetes; repair; inflammation; extracellular matrix;

   Abstract : Myocardial infarction and stroke are two of the most common causes of death in the world, mainly caused by a rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque. A vulnerable atherosclerotic plaque is a high-risk plaque that can form a thrombus by rupture. READ MORE
