  2. 21. Platelets and the inflammatory response in coronary heart disease

    Author : Petter Järemo; Frank Brosstad; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The thesis investigates a new invented computerised apparatus suitable for determining platelet density distribution and peak platelet density in undisturbed linear Percoll™ gradients. The device measures light transmission through test tubes containing density-separated platelets. READ MORE

  4. 22. Ventricular Depolarization in Ischemic Heart Disease.Value of Electrocardiography in Assessment of Severity and Extent of Acute Myocardial Ischemia

    Author : Michael Ringborn; Kardiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute myocardial ischemia; Acute myocardial infarction; Severity of ischemia; QRS changes; HF-QRS; QRS slopes; Depolarization changes; Myocardium at risk; Final infarct size; SPECT.;

    Abstract : Background In patients with symptoms compatible with acute myocardial infarction (MI), early triage by ECG in the pre-hospital phase by ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) criteria is important for direct transport of these patients to a regional center for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). The time from first medical contact to pPCI should, due to present guidelines, be no longer than two hours. READ MORE

  5. 23. Detection of apoptosis in patients with coronary artery disease : Assessment of temporal patterns and potential sources

    Author : Aleksander Szymanowski; Lennart Nilsson; Lena Jonasson; Eva Swahn; Stefan Jovinge; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The atherosclerotic process and its consequences are considered driven by an imbalance between pro- and ant-inflammatory actions. One contributing factor in this scenario is an altered regulation of apoptosis, which affects both immune, vascular and myocardial cells. READ MORE

  6. 24. Obesity, Weight Loss and Cardiovascular Risk

    Author : Shabbar Jamaly; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; obesity; bariatric surgery; weight loss; risk factors; atrial fibrillation; heart failure;

    Abstract : Background: The global prevalence of obesity is on the rise, contributing to increased incidence and prevalence of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Obesity has adverse effects on cardiac structure and function, directly through a hemodynamic overload, and indirectly through cardiovascular risk factors and low-grade inflammation. READ MORE

  7. 25. No time to waste : Pre-hospital actions and time delays in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction – temporal trends and prognostic impact on short- and long-term survival

    Author : Maria Ericsson; Ingela Thylén; Anna Strömberg; Sofia Sederholm Lawesson; Emil Hagström; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Background: In ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients, a rapid diagnosis is imperative to reduce total ischaemic time minimizing risk for heart failure, serious arrhythmias, or death. Prehospital context is complex, and the patient delay constitute major part of the pre-hospital phase. READ MORE
