  2. 1. Cardiac Microvascular Disease Quantified with CMR

    Author : Tom Gyllenhammar; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac microvascular disease; magnetic resonance imaging; microvascular dysfunction; hypertrohic cardiomyopathy; systemic sclerosis; microvascular angina;

    Abstract : This thesis has investigated three different diagnoses where cardiac microvascular disease is suspected: hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), systemic sclerosis (SSc), and patients with suspected microvascular angina (MVA).Study I of this thesis investigated patients with HCM.

  4. 2. Cardiac abnormalities in chronic kidney disease

    Author : Pavlos Kashioulis; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiovascular; chronic kidney disease; diastolic dysfunction;

    Abstract : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem associated with increased risk of mortality and development of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality even before the development of ESRD. READ MORE

  5. 3. Prognostic impact of coronary microvascular funtion in patients with ischemic heart disease

    Author : Inger Haraldsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; coronary microvascular function; coronary flow reserve; coronary artery disease; acute coronary syndromes; thrombus aspiration; pretreatment; SCAAR; SWEDHEART;

    Abstract : Background: Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death globally. Despite recent advances in interventional and medical therapies, survivors of myocardial infarction are at high risk of recurrent cardiovascular events. READ MORE

  6. 4. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, with focus on vascular wall changes, cardiac risk-factor awareness and cardiovascular events

    Author : Christine Bengtsson; Reumatologi och molekylär skelettbiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; microvascular reactivity; arteria stiffness; cardiac risk factors; Cardiovascular event; SLE;

    Abstract : Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune disease with a wide range of disease manifestations with respect to severity and magnitude of organ involvement. An increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared with the general population causes both morbidity and mortality in SLE patients. READ MORE

  7. 5. Myocardial Topical Negative Pressure

    Author : Sandra Lindstedt Ingemansson; Thoraxkirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; coronary blood flow; microvascular blood flow; topical negative pressure TNP ;

    Abstract : The aim of this research was to find out if it is possible to increase myocardial microvasular blood flow by applying a topical negative pressure source directly onto the myocardium. Topical negative pressure is a relatively new wound healing technique. READ MORE
