2. 1. Severe angina pectoris and spinal cord stimulation. Long-term effects and safety aspects

   Author : Olof Ekre; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Angina pectoris; Epidemiology; Spinal cord stimulation; Quality of life; Mortality; Health care costs; Electromagnetic interference; Placebo effects;

   Abstract : Refractory angina pectoris has been defined as coronary artery disease and severe angina, where standard pharmacological and invasive treatment possibilities are exhausted. The epidemiology of this condition is virtually unknown.During the last few decades, additional treatment options have evolved for this condition. READ MORE

4. 2. Refractory angina pectoris. Patient characteristics, safety and long-term effects of spinal cord stimulation

   Author : Paulin Andréll; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Angina pectoris; Deep white matter disease; Epidemiology; Health care costs; Morbidity; Mortality; Quality of life; Spinal cord stimulation;

   Abstract : Refractory angina pectoris has been defined as severe angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease which cannot be controlled by conventional pharmacological or surgical therapy. The epidemiology of this condition is virtually unknown. During the last decades, additional treatment options have been developed for this condition. READ MORE

5. 3. Myocardial gene therapy and gene expression in angina pectoris

   Author : Andreas Rück; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Angina pectoris; gene therapy; vascular endothelial growth factor; plasmid; prognosis; collaterals; angiogenesis; gene expression; microarray; natriuretic peptides.;

   Abstract : Background: Angiogenesis does not fully counteract myocardial ischemia in stable angina pectoris. Refractory angina pectoris, with remaining symptoms despite medication and no possibility for bypass surgery or angioplasty, is rather common. Angiogenic gene therapy is a novel treatment strategy for these patients. 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. No touch vein harvesting technique for coronary artery by-pass surgery : impact on patency rate, development of atheroscleosis, left ventricular function and clinical outcome during 16 years follow-up

   Author : Benny Johansson; Eva Swahn; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atherosclerosis; coronary artery disease; coronary artery bypass grafting; vein grafts; no touch vein harvesting technique; intravascular ultrasound; echocardiography; clinical outcome; revascularization; outcome analysis; angina pectoris; myocardial infarction; mortality; randomized trial; Surgery; Kirurgi;

   Abstract : This thesis was based on a prospective randomized trial which was started in 1993 to compare the no touch (NT) with the conventional (C) technique of saphenous vein harvesting for CABG.In paper I, was demonstrated superior patency for the NT grafts at short-term (1.5 years; 95,6% vs 89%; p < 0,05) and long-term follow-up (8.
