1. Effects of lipid-lowering treatment on platelet function and hemostatic mechanisms in diabetic patients : influence of chronic kidney disease and inflammatory parameters
Abstract : Diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are both associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and the risk is even higher when they are concurrent. Both diseases are considered to be prothrombotic states with increased inflammatory activity and major disturbances in the hemostasis. READ MORE

2. The immune response in atherosclerosis and acute coronary syndromes
Abstract : The immune system is involved in the process of atherogenesis from the earliest steps of plaque formation, throughout the progression to the mature plaque, and finally in plaque complication and clinical manifestation of plaque instability. The present study has explored the role of specific immunity in relation to clinical instability of human coronary atherosclerosis and in experimental models of atherogenesis. READ MORE

3. Chlamydophila pneumoniae in Cardiovascular Diseases : Clinical and Experimental Studies
Abstract : Chlamydophila pneumoniae (C. pneumoniae) has been suggested as a stimulator of chronic inflammation in atherosclerosis. C. pneumoniae DNA was demonstrated in aortic biopsies in 50% of patients with stable angina pectoris or acute coronary syndrome undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting. READ MORE

4. Platelets and the inflammatory response in coronary heart disease
Abstract : The thesis investigates a new invented computerised apparatus suitable for determining platelet density distribution and peak platelet density in undisturbed linear Percoll™ gradients. The device measures light transmission through test tubes containing density-separated platelets. READ MORE

5. Chemoattractants as causative agents, biomarkers and therapeutic targets in vascular pathology
Abstract : Atherosclerosis and restenosis are driven by chronic immune response in the vascular wall. This involves cell migration into and within the vessel wall, cell proliferation as well as accumulation of lipids in the vessel wall. These processes are mediated, among other substances, by molecules belonging to a large family of chemoattractants. READ MORE
