  2. 1. 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

  4. 2. Echocardiography/Doppler for the evaluation of coronary artery function, left ventricular function and the relationship between early diastolic and systolic function

    Author : Reidar Winter; Malmö Institutionen för kliniska vetenskaper; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; coronary flow reserve; contrast echocardiography; early diastolic downward velocity; flow propagation velocity; colour M-mode; diastolic function; Echocardiography; Doppler; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Cardiovascular system;

    Abstract : Two specific areas of development in echocardiography are assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function and myocardial ischemia. This thesis describes echocardiographic methodology in these two areas. READ MORE

  5. 3. Imaging of coronary artery function and morphology in living mice - applications in atherosclerosis research

    Author : Johannes Wikström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : atherosclerosis; coronary artery; coronary flow velocity reserve; imaging; mouse; transthoracic Doppler echocardiography; ultrasound biomicroscopy;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries is the major reason for myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death. In the clinic, several imaging systems make it possible to study coronary artery function and morphology non-invasively, such as transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE). READ MORE

  6. 4. Effects of physical exercise on coronary and peripheral vascular function. An integrative physiological study from rat to man

    Author : Ulrika Hägg Samuelsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : exercise; endothelial function; coronary flow velocity reserve; colour Doppler echocardiography; oxidative stress; gene expression; stiffness; ultrasound biomicroscopy;

    Abstract : Physical exercise is beneficial for the cardiovascular health. Numerous epidemiological studies reveal that physical activity reduces the risk of cardiovascular related death. Nevertheless, the underlying vessel wall specific physiological and molecular mechanisms still remain incompletely understood. READ MORE

  7. 5. Coronary Heart Disease and Erectile Dysfunction

    Author : Rasmus Borgquist; Kardiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; risk factors; Cardiovascular system; Kardiovaskulära systemet; Erectile dysfunction; coronary heart disease;

    Abstract : Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a common condition associated with a high mortality. There is now growing evidence that erectile dysfunction (ED) in men may be a suitable marker of sub-clinical cardiovascular disease, identifying patients at high risk for future CHD. READ MORE
