  2. 6. Insight into coronary artery ectasia

    Author : Usama Boles; Michael Y. Henein; Peter Eriksson; Corrado Tamurino; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Coronary artery ectasia; atherosclerosis; acute coronary syndrome; lipidomic profile; cytokines; prognosis of coronary artery ectasia; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Abstract : Background:Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is defined as a diffuse dilatation of the epicardial coronary arteries exceeding 1.5 folds the diameter of the normal adjacent arterial segment and/ or the remaining non-dilated part of the same artery. (1) The incidence of CAE has been variably reported between different nations and ranges between 1. READ MORE

  4. 7. Doppler evaluation of coronary blood flow and coronary flow reserve - Clinical and experimental studies

    Author : Gylfi Oskarsson; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pediatrics; Pediatri; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet; fetal asphyxia; transposition of the great arteries; dilated cardiomyopathy; aortic stenosis; child; neonate; adenosine; coronary flow reserve; Doppler; coronary flow;

    Abstract : Heart diseases in children cause different combinations of myocardial hypertrophy, increased intra-ventricular pressures, volume overload and decreased oxygen saturation. This may affect basal coronary flow and the ability of the heart to maximally increase coronary flow. READ MORE

  5. 8. Insight into Coro-Carotid atherosclerotic disease in patients with acute coronary syndrome

    Author : Rafik B. Shenouda; Michael Y. Henein; Per Wester; Ana Djordjevic-Dikic; Umeå universitet; []

    Abstract : Background: the arterial tree branches in different parts of human body are sharing the histological and physiological features. Atherosclerosis is a systemic arterial disease, hence is expected to affect to affect more than one arterial system with similar pathologic manifestations. READ MORE

  6. 9. Computed tomography of the coronary arteries

    Author : Jonaz Ripsweden; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Non-invasive coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has become an important tool for visualisation of coronary arteries since the introduction of 64-channel detector CCTA in 2004. It has been proved to be especially beneficial for ruling out coronary artery disease (CAD) in selected patient populations, due to the high negative predictive value (NPV). READ MORE

  7. 10. Computed Tomography of the Coronary Arteries : Developmental and Prognostic Investigations

    Author : Mårten Sandstedt; Anders Persson; Joakim Alfredsson; Magnus Janzon; Jan Engvall; Mats Lidén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Computed tomography (CT) is an increasingly used modality for investigations of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD). Technical advances could improve diagnostic accuracy and lead to clinical workflow improvements. Also, more prognostic information can optimize clinical follow-up strategies and treatments. READ MORE
