2. 21. Myocardial infarction - Risk stratification and evaluation of therapies

   Author : Axel Wester; Kardiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; myocardial infarction; percutaneous coronary intervention; cardiac arrest; elderly; anemia; bleeding;

   Abstract : Background. Myocardial infarction (MI) remains the leading cause of death worldwide, despite several advances in acute coronary care during the last decades. This thesis assessed different risk stratification tools and evaluated interventional and pharmacological treatment strategies in high-risk patients with MI. Methods. READ MORE

4. 22. Life after myocardial infarction in women and men : coping, social support and quality of life over the first year

   Author : Marja-Leena Kristofferzon; Högskolan i Gävle; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; myocardial infarction; women and men; gender differences; problems; coping; social support; quality of life; Caring sciences; Vårdvetenskap;

   Abstract : Aims : The general aim of this thesis was to describe the life situation of women and men during their first year after myocardial infarction (MI) with regard to problems in daily life, how they coped with them, the social support available and the patients’ perceived quality of life (QoL). An additional aim was to examine differences over time and between women and men in coping, social support and QoL. READ MORE

5. 23. Left ventricular thrombus and stroke after acute myocardial infarction

   Author : Thomas Mooe; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; myocardial infarction; thrombolytic therapy; left ventricular thrombosis; risk factors; cerebral embolism and thrombosis;

   Abstract : A left ventricular thrombus develops in approximately 40% of patients following an anterior myocardial infarction. Embolization from these thrombi has been regarded as the most important cause of stroke following a myocardial infarction. READ MORE

6. 24. Smokeless Tobacco (Snus) and Cardiovascular Disease : Associations with Heart Failure and Prognosis after Myocardial Infarction

   Author : Gabriel Arefalk; Johan Sundström; Martin Holzmann; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Snus; smokeless tobacco; nicotine; cardiovascular disease; heart failure; myocardial infarction; mortality; prognosis; epidemiology; Epidemiologi; Epidemiology;

   Abstract : Previous investigations of snus use (oral moist snuff, a Swedish form of smokeless tobacco) and cardiovascular disease have generally focused on atherosclerotic events such as myocardial infarction and stroke, likely because smoking is such a well-established risk factor for atherosclerotic disease. Smokeless administration of tobacco circumvents most of the atherogenic effects of the combusted products from smoked tobacco, but it is possible that the potent autonomic and hemodynamic effects of snus and nicotine per se are detrimental for cardiovascular tissues.

7. 25. Inflammation, platelet aggregation and prognosis in acute myocardial infarction

   Author : Angelo Modica; Thomas Mooe; Håkan Wallén; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Myocardial infarction; C-reactive protein; platelet aggregation; prognosis; Cardiology; Kardiologi; Medicine; medicin;

   Abstract : The incidence of stroke and re-infarction is noticeably high in the first few days following acute myocardial infarction. This finding has raised questions whether the systemic inflammatory reaction secondary to myocardial necrosis is involved. READ MORE
