  2. 16. Acute myocardial infarction : early diagnosis and the prognostic value of ECG and echocardiography

    Author : Josephine Muhrbeck; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Introduction: Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a main cause of death. Despite vast improvements in management and treatment strategies over the past decades, morbidity and mortality after an AMI remains high. READ MORE

  4. 17. Effects of postconditioning in ST-elevation myocardial infarction : assessment of myocardium at risk and infarct size

    Author : Peder Sörensson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Myocardial infarction remains a major health problem, despite recent improvements in detection and treatment. Infarct size is a major determinant of future mortality and morbidity. READ MORE

  5. 18. Traces of Repolarization Inhomogeneity in the ECG

    Author : Milos Kesek; Anders Englund; Bertil Lindahl; Markku Mäkijärvi; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Internal medicine; cardiology; repolarization; ECG; QT dispersion; nondipolar components; T-wave; principal component analysis; repolarization inhomogeneity; Invärtesmedicin; Internal medicine; Invärtesmedicin;

    Abstract : Repolarization inhomogeneity is arrhythmogenic. QT dispersion (QTd) is an easily accessible ECG-variable, related to the repolarization and shown to carry prognostic information. It was originally thought to reflect repolarization inhomogeneity. Lately, arguments have been risen against this hypothesis. READ MORE

  6. 19. Coronary care networks in the resource-limited setting : systems of care in South Africa

    Author : Willem Stassen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : BACKGROUND: Owing to an epidemiological transition observed throughout Sub- Saharan Africa, South Africa is experiencing an increase in the incidence of myocardial infarction. ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) occurs commonly in South Africa and at much younger ages than observed elsewhere in the world. READ MORE

  7. 20. Hypothermia as an adjunctive therapy in Acute Myocardial Infarction and Cardiogenic Shock

    Author : Matthias Götberg; Kardiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; AMI; Cardiogenic Shock; CMR; Hypothermia;

    Abstract : INTRODUCTION: Reperfusion therapy in patients with an ongoing ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is to re-establish coronary flow in the epicardial arteries as soon as possible in order to reduce infarct size and associated complications. Hypothermia has in experimental studies been shown to reduce infarct size. READ MORE
