2. 1. Myocardial ischemia : As a risk indicator after an episode of unstable angina or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction

   Author : Hans Larsson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : The diagnostic and prognostic value of different noninvasive tests were evaluated in men below 70 years of age admitted to the coronary care unit (CCU) with unstable coronary artery disease (CAD) i.e unstableangina or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction (Ml). A symptom limited exercise test (ET) was performed before discharge in 740 patients. READ MORE

4. 2. Clinically Unrecognized Myocardial Scars Detected by MRI

   Author : Raquel Espregueira Themudo; Tomas Bjerner; Andrew Arai; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; unrecognized myocardial scars; myocardial infarction; epidemiology; magnetic resonance; computed topographic coronary angiography; exercise test; NT-proBNP; Radiology; Radiologi; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

   Abstract : A high percentage of unrecognized myocardial infarctions (UMIs) seen at delayed-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) are not detected by ECG. DE-MRI-detected UMIs are independent predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease. READ MORE

5. 3. Physical activity, visceral adipose tissue, and cardiovascular disease in older adults : associations and effects

   Author : Marcel Ballin; Peter Nordström; Johan Niklasson; Maria Hagströmer; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; physical activity; exercise; obesity; stroke; myocardial infarction; death; aging; geriatrics; epidemiology; trial; Geriatrics; geriatrik; epidemiologi; Epidemiology; kardiologi; Cardiology; Public health; folkhälsa; physiotherapy; fysioterapi;

   Abstract : BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) poses a substantial public health burden and is the leading cause of mortality in older adults. With the population aging rapidly, interventions aimed at improving modifiable risk factors for CVD, such as physical inactivity and visceral obesity, could play an important role in reducing its burden, provided they are proven effective.

6. 4. Ischaemic heart disease - risk assessment, diagnosis, and secondary preventive treatment in primary care : with special reference to the relevance of exercise ECG

   Author : Gunnar Nilsson; Eva Samuelsson; Thomas Mooe; Per Wändell; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Exercise ECG; Ischaemic heart disease; Myocardial infarction; Prehospital delay; Primary care; Prognosis; Referral; Statin; Secondary prevention; Arbets-EKG; hjärtinfarkt; ischemisk hjärtsjukdom; sekundärprevention; Family Medicine; allmänmedicin;

   Abstract : Background: Ischaemic heart disease is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge to most general practitioners. We sought to identify diagnostic characteristics and prognoses of patients in primary care that received exercise electrocardiography (ECG). We compared the ECG test results with respect to probability of subsequent cardiologist referrals. READ MORE

7. 5. High-Frequency ECG in Ischemic Heart Disease

   Author : Jonas Pettersson; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiology; Clinical physics; high-frequency QRS components; electrocardiogram; myocardial infarction; myocardial ischemia; Ischemic heart disease; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

   Abstract : Analysis of high-frequency QRS components (HF-QRS) is one of the emerging methods for increasing the diagnostic performance of the electrocardiogram (ECG). The overall objective of the thesis is to investigate whether analysis of HF-QRS has the ability to provide information about ischemic heart disease and so serve as an adjunctive diagnostic tool in several clinical situations.
