  2. 1. On cardiovascular responses to hypovolemic circulatory stress. An experimental study in man

    Author : Henrik Olsen; Helsingborg Kliniska Vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; diabetology; secreting systems; Endocrinology; vein.; type 1 diabetes; skeletal muscle; LBNP; compliance; CFC; Ageing; baroreceptor; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet;

    Abstract : Aged subjects have a decreased tolerance to hypovolemia, which could contribute to their increased cardiovascular morbidity. One possible etiological factor might be an age-related reduction in the efficiency of the baroreceptor reflex axis. READ MORE

  4. 2. Cerebral Hemodynamics through Intracrnial Pressure

    Author : Sima Shahsavari; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Intracranial dynamics; Baroreceptor reflex; Secondary brain injury; Traumatic brain injury; Collapsible tubes; Intracranial pressure; Cushing reflex; Pulse wave propagation; Cerebral autoregulation; Cerebral compliance; Mathematical modelling;

    Abstract : Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) continues to be a major problem worldwide. Today, intensive care of patients with TBI is mainly focused on preventing and treating secondary brain injuries. High pressure inside the intracranial cavity has been found to be an important feature of disturbed cerebral dynamics and secondary injuries. READ MORE

  5. 3. Effects of the angiotensin II type 1 receptor blocker (AT₁ receptor blocker) candesartan cilexetil on systemic and renal haemodynamics in hypertensive patients

    Author : Katarina Fridman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Established primary hypertension is primarily characterised by elevated peripheral resistance and an increase in renal vascular resistance. Antagonism of angiotensin II may be a particularly relevant intervention in this condition, as angiotensin II is known to act both as a powerful vasoconstrictor and as a stimulus to vascular hyperthrophy.

  6. 4. Heart rate variability and vascular function in healthy subjects and in patients with insulindependent (Type 1) diabetes mellitus

    Author : Kerstin Jensen-Urstad; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : atherosclerosis; autonomic nervous system; blood-glucose control; Holter ECG; heart rate variability; insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus; population-study; ultrasound; vascular endothelium.;

    Abstract : The incidence of atherosclerosis parallels the decreasing function of the autonomic nervous system. Both atherosclerosis and autonomic dysfunction are common in patients with diabetes mellitus. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cardiovascular and metabolic control in obese children and adolescents

    Author : Frida Dangardt; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : obesity; children; atherosclerosis; omega-3 fatty acids; ultrasound; insulin;

    Abstract : Childhood obesity is an emerging risk factor for disease and mortality worldwide. The cardiovascular consequences and prevention thereof need to be further investigated. Exercise and weight loss are well examined and effective in the prevention of cardiovascular risk, but warrant well motivated patients with strong social support. READ MORE
