  2. 1. Aspects of pediatric hemodynamics. A study of young children undergoing corrective heart surgery

    Author : Theódór Sigurdsson; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac output; Heart surgery; Hemodynamics; Intracardiac shunt; Volume estimation; Young children;

    Abstract : AbstractBackground: Assessing critically ill patients is demanding because their clinical signs are not always easy to interpret. This is particularly true for pediatric patients, due to their small size and robust circulatory compensatorymechanism. READ MORE

  4. 2. Non-Invasive Measures of Heart Failure

    Author : Mikael Kanski; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Heart failure; diagnosis; magnetic resonance imaging; blood flow; 4D flow; pulmonary blood volume; kinetic energy;

    Abstract : Heart failure is a clinical syndrome characterized by an inability of the heart to meet the metabolic demands of the body. Approximately 1-2% of the population in the western society has the diagnosis, and the 5-year mortality rate is comparable with the common cancer diagnoses. READ MORE

  6. 4. Hemodynamics of artificial devices used in extracorporeal life support

    Author : Francesco Fiusco; Lisa Prahl Wittberg; Katharine Fraser; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; computational fluid dynamics; hemorheology; platelet activation; thrombogenicity; extracorporeal membrane oxygenation; hemodynamics; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract : Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO) is a life-saving therapy usedfor support in critical heart and/or lung failure. Patient’s blood is pumped viaan artificial lung for oxygenation outside of the body. The circuit is composedof a blood pump, cannulae for drainage and reinfusion, a membrane lung,tubing and connectors. READ MORE

  7. 5. Endothelium-derived substances and regional hemodynamics in experimental hypertension

    Author : Sven-Olof Granstam; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; nitric oxide; endothelin; hypertension; rats; SHR; hemodynamics; blood pressure; blood flow; acetylcholine; carvedilol; microsphere method; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), a model for experimental hypertension, is considered to have similarities with essential hypertension in humans. Differences between SHR and normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) in the vascular response to endothelial-derived substances such as nitric oxide (NO) have been intensively studied in vitro. READ MORE
