  2. 1. Ischemic heart disease in Kiruna : risk factors and sequelae

    Author : Torbjörn Messner; Kurt Svärdsudd; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Ischemic heart disease; risk factors; alcohol; acetylsalicylic acid; lipids; fatty acids; diet; psychosocial risk factors; migration; smoking; mortality; diabetes mellitus; family history; heart failure;

    Abstract : Kiruna, a Swedish community situated 300 km north of the Arctic Circle, has a very high mortality in ischemic heart disease (IHD). Acase-control study was undertaken to find out if the risk factors for IHD or their impact differed from those in other populations. READ MORE

  4. 2. Population-based studies of atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke

    Author : John Berntsson; Kardiovaskulär forskning - epidemiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; Ischemic stroke; Biomarker; Stroke; Natriuretic peptides; Vascular endothelial growth factor; Epidemiology; Atrial Fibrillation; Stroke; Ischemic stroke; Natriuretic peptides; Vascular endothelial growth factor; Epidemiology;

    Abstract : AbstractBackground: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke and the most common cause of cardioembolic stroke. Early detection of AF and AF subjects at high risk for stroke is therefore important. READ MORE

  5. 3. High-Frequency ECG in Ischemic Heart Disease

    Author : Jonas Pettersson; Avdelningen för klinisk genetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; radiology; Clinical physics; high-frequency QRS components; electrocardiogram; myocardial infarction; myocardial ischemia; Ischemic heart disease; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; radiologi; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering;

    Abstract : Analysis of high-frequency QRS components (HF-QRS) is one of the emerging methods for increasing the diagnostic performance of the electrocardiogram (ECG). The overall objective of the thesis is to investigate whether analysis of HF-QRS has the ability to provide information about ischemic heart disease and so serve as an adjunctive diagnostic tool in several clinical situations.

  6. 4. Metabolic aspects of cardiac arrhythmias

    Author : Sigfus Gizurarson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Kardiologi; Electrofysiologi; Djurexperiment; Metabolism;

    Abstract : Cardiac arrhythmias are an important cause of mortality and morbidity in patients with cardiac diseases. Sudden death due to ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation (VT/VF) in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and heart failure (HF) is a frequent cause of premature death. READ MORE

  7. 5. Cardiac complications in celiac disease

    Author : Louise Emilsson; Jonas Ludvigsson; Roland Carlsson; Daniel Leffler; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; atrial fibrillation; autoimmune; celiac disease; cohort; dilated cardiomyopathy; inflammation; myocardial infarction; registry; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

    Abstract : Background: Celiac disease (CD) is an immune-mediated enteropathy induced by dietary gluten that affects about 1% of western populations. CD has been associated to an increased risk of cardiovascular mortality in some studies; however associations to cardiovascular diseases have not been broadly researched. READ MORE
