  2. 1. Diabetes mellitus and related glucometabolic disturbances in acute myocardial infarction : Diagnosis, prevalence and prognostic implications

    Author : Åke Tenerz; Jerzy Leppert; Christian Berne; Klas Malmberg; Göran Nilsson; Johan Herlitz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Medicine; Diabetes mellitus; impaired glucose tolerance; insulin resistance; prevalence; diagnosis; oral glucose tolerance test; acute myocardial infarction; prognosis; Medicin; Dermatology and venerology; clinical genetics; internal medicine; Dermatologi och venerologi; klinisk genetik; invärtesmedicin; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : In patients with diabetes mellitus (DM), acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a major cause of death. We have studied two populations with respect to the relationship between DM or related glucometabolic disturbances and AMI. READ MORE

  4. 2. Endocrine studies in stroke patients

    Author : Tommy Olsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cerebrovascular disorders; elderly; pituitary gland; thyroid gland; adrenal glands; hydrocortisone; dexamethasone suppression test; cortisol excretion; diabetes mellitus; prognosis;

    Abstract : There are a number of links between the endocrine system and the nervous system. In this study, the impact of ischemic stroke on the endocrine system was investigated. Elderly volunteers were studied because data regarding the influence of advanced age on endocrine parameters were lacking. READ MORE

  5. 3. On endothelial function in type 2 diabetic patients with coronary artery disease

    Author : Thomas Nyström; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Type 2 diabetes; endothelial dysfunction; insulin resistance; coronary artery disease; nitric oxide; glucagon-like peptide 1; exendin; tetrahydrobiopterin; inflammation; adiponectin; resistin; C-reactive protein; tumor necrosis factor a; interleukin-6;

    Abstract : Patients with type 2 diabetes have a poor outcome suffering a myocardial infarction (MI). Endothelial dysfunction may play a role in this poor prognosis. In type 2 diabetes, endothelial dysfunction is a salient feature coexisting with obesity and insulin resistance and may be linked by the same pathophysiology, i.e. READ MORE

  6. 4. Heart rate variability in patients with stable angina pectoris

    Author : Inge Björkander; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Ambulatory electrocardiographic registrations; autonomic nervous system; coronary artery disease; differential index; heart rate variability; prognosis;

    Abstract : The rate and modulation of the heart beat (i.e. heart rate variability; HRV) are controlled by the autonomic nervous system. Cardiac sympathetic activation decreases and parasympathetic increases HRV. READ MORE

  7. 5. Diabetes Mellitus and Cardiovascular Risk : epidemiology, etiology and intervention

    Author : Aslak Rautio; Kurt Boman; Anna Norhammar; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : Diabetes; Cardiovascular risk; epidemiology; myocardial infarction; stroke; fibrinolysis; insulin treatment; Diabetes; kardiovaskulär risk; epidemilogi; hjärtinfarkt; stroke; fibrinolys; insulinbehandling; cardiovascular disease; hjärt- och kärlforskning;

    Abstract : Background: The Framingham Study from 1988 showed a heavy impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the risk and prognosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Several other studies have confirmed that DM is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and that patients with DM have a poor prognosis. READ MORE
