    Abstract : Background and aimsHeart failure (HF) is a major cause of serious morbidity and death in the population and one of the leading medical causes of hospitalization among people older than 60 years. The aim of this thesis was to describe how to create and how to analyze a Heart Failure Registry with emphasis on Anemia and Quality of Life. READ MORE

  4. 2. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction in primary care

    Author : Björn Eriksson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a condition associated with low quality of life, high morbidity and mortality. It constitutes a diagnostic challenge and there is little evidence of effective treatments. READ MORE

  5. 3. Biomarkers of inflammation in atrial fibrillation

    Author : Julia Aulin; Jonas Oldgren; Ziad Hijazi; Lars Wallentin; Håkan Wallén; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common and associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure (HF) and mortality. Inflammation is linked to AF.The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate inflammatory activity and cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in patients with AF on effective oral anticoagulation.

  6. 4. Heart failure : role of metabolic biomarkers, ejection fraction, and sex

    Author : Ulrika Ljung Faxén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Heart failure (HF) is common and associated with impaired quality of life (QoL) and poor prognosis. There is a ternary classification of HF based on ejection fraction (EF): HF with preserved(HFpEF), mid-range EF(HFmrEF), and reduced EF(HFrEF). READ MORE

  7. 5. Improved heart failure care organization including studies of diagnosis, risk prediction and biomarkers in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

    Author : Dmitri Matan; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Heart failure (HF) is a prevalent condition with low quality of life, high morbidity and mortality, and high societal costs. HF can be divided according to left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) into HF with reduced (HFrEF) or preserved EF (HFpEF). Diagnosis of HFpEF is more complex than for HFrEF. READ MORE
