  2. 11. Imaging of coronary artery function and morphology in living mice - applications in atherosclerosis research

    Author : Johannes Wikström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : atherosclerosis; coronary artery; coronary flow velocity reserve; imaging; mouse; transthoracic Doppler echocardiography; ultrasound biomicroscopy;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries is the major reason for myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death. In the clinic, several imaging systems make it possible to study coronary artery function and morphology non-invasively, such as transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE). READ MORE

  4. 12. Methodological aspects of quantitative cardiac molecular imaging

    Author : Tanja Kero; Mark Lubberink; Håkan Ahlström; Elin Trägårdh; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : PET; cardiac amyloidosis; 11C-PIB; retention index; standardized uptake value; PET-MR; MRI; myocardial blood flow; 15O-water; quantification; quantitative modeling;

    Abstract : The objective of this research was to facilitate the use of quantitative cardiac molecular imaging by developing and validating methods and applications. More specifically:we determined the optimal tracer kinetic model for analysis of 11C-PIB and evaluated the performance of two simpler measures, retention index (RI) and standardized uptake value (SUV), in the quantification of cardiac 11C-PIB uptake in amyloidosis.

  5. 13. Early Cardiovascular Changes of Familial Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy in the Young

    Author : Eva Fernlund; Lund Pediatrik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; A-ECG. SCD.; advanced ECG; CMR; Tissue Doppler; Echocardiography; Microcirculation; LaserDoppler; Athletes heart; HCM; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy;

    Abstract : Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited heart disease, transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion, i.e. 50% risk for transmission of the disease-causing mutation to each child of the affected family. READ MORE

  6. 14. Inflammatory and degenerative disease in the temporomandibular joint

    Author : Göran W Gynther; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : clinical findings; degenerative changes; generalized osteoarthritis; histology; immunohistochemistry; internal derangement; radiographic changes; rheumatoid arthritis; synovial inflammation; temporomandibular jointISBN 91-628-1 9;

    Abstract : Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthroscopy is an established technique with high diagnostic accuracy regarding synovitis and degenerative changes of the articular fibrocartilage and disk. However, so far no studies have been done to correlate the macroscopic and histologic findings with each arthroscopic criterion. READ MORE

  7. 15. Microcirculation in chronic kidney disease : from injury targets to potential therapeutics

    Author : Samsul Arefin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem worldwide, and patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) are at increased risk of developing cardiovascular complications. Small artery dysfunction is a common feature of CKD, which contributes to the development of early vascular ageing (EVA) and cardiovascular complications. READ MORE
