2. 11. Factors influencing prognosis in acute coronary syndrome - A report from the SWEDEHEART registry

   Author : Oskar Angerås; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute coronary syndrome; acute myocardial infarction; risk factors; obesity paradox; socioeconomic status; cardiogenic shock; thrombus aspiration; SWEDEHEART; SCAAR; RIKS-HIA;

   Abstract : Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is one of the major causes of mortality in the world. The prognosis for patients with ACS is affected by several factors, such as baseline characteristics and treatment before, during and after hospitalisation. . READ MORE

4. 12. Atrial Fibrillation in the setting of Coronary Artery Disease : Risks and outcomes with different treatment options

   Author : Gorav Batra; Jonas Oldgren; Gunnar Gislason; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial fibrillation; coronary artery disease; acute coronary syndrome; myocardial infarction; percutaneous coronary intervention; coronary artery bypass grafting; antithrombotic therapy; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors; angiotensin II receptor blockers; epidemiology; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Abstract : Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality worldwide and atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent arrhythmia associated with increased risk of mortality and morbidity. Despite improved outcome in both diseases, there is a need to further describe the prevalence, outcome and management of CAD in patients with concomitant AF. READ MORE

5. 13. Manifestations and Survival in Coronary Heart Disease

   Author : Kerstin Dudas; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : coronary heart disease; acute coronary syndrome; coronary-bypass grafting; mortality; case fatality; survival; manifestation; predictors; risk factors; trends; cholesterol;

   Abstract : Aim: To investigate how risk factors predict manifestations in coronary heart disease (CHD), and trends in short-term and long-term survival including trends in out-of-hospital mortality. Populations and methods: In the first study 7388 men aged 47 to 55 and free of previous acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or stroke were investigated during 28 years’ follow-up. READ MORE

6. 14. Cardiac Troponins in Patients with Suspected or Confirmed Acute Coronary Syndrome : New Applications for Biomarkers in Coronary Artery Disease

   Author : Kai Eggers; Bertil Lindahl; Stefan James; Paul Collinson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Internal medicine; Ischemic heart disease; Acute myocardial infarction; Troponin; Natriuretic peptide; CRP; Cystatin C; Artificial neural network; Point of care measurements; Risk prediction; Invärtesmedicin;

   Abstract : The cardiac troponins are the biochemical markers of choice for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and risk prediction in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In this thesis, the role of early serial cardiac troponin I (cTnI) testing was assessed in fairly unselected patient populations admitted because of chest pain and participating in the FAST II-study (n=197) and the FASTER I-study (n=380).

7. 15. Inflammatory markers and prognosis in acute coronary syndromes

   Author : Anna M Jansson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : acute coronary syndrome;

   Abstract : Background: Inflammation both accelerates atherosclerosis and contributes to the activation and rupture of the atherosclerotic plaque. Several markers of inflammation, such as CRP, have shown prognostic merit in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). READ MORE
