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

2. Myocardial creatine metabolism in experimental infarction and heart failure
Abstract : The failing heart is characterized by changes in structure, function and metabolism. All these changes are usually defined as pathologic remodelling. An important part of this negative remodelling process is disturbances in the myocardial energy metabolism. READ MORE

3. Cardiovascular and respiratory effects of air pollution : application of different observational study designs and analysis approaches
Abstract : The effect of air pollution exposure on human health has been a topic of an increasing volume of research over the past half century. Due to the ubiquitous nature of ambient air pollution exposure and the comparatively weak effects that can be expected, one of the most viable and most utilized avenues of research has been to conduct large scale observational studies.

4. Electrocardiographic Imaging of Myocardial Ischemia, Infarction and Scar: Correlation with SPECT, MRI and Arrhythmias
Abstract : This thesis focuses on the development and testing of electrocardiographic (ECG) methods to diagnose and characterize myocardial ischemia, infarction and fibrosis (scar). The goal is to provide improved decision support to physicians regarding the optimal selection of patients for two costly, invasive therapies – percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) for patients with heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).
