2. 21. Serum lipoprotein(a) in relation to ischemic heart disease and associated risk factors

   Author : Lisbeth Slunga; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Lipoprotein a ; lipids; epidemiology; coronary artery disease; coronary angiography; HLA DR; acute-phase protein; myocardial infarction; HMG CoA reductase inhibitor; simvastatin;

   Abstract : Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) consists of an LDL-like particle and the specific protein apo(a), which is very similar to plasminogen. Apo(a) contains repeated kringle structures and a serine protease domain, which cannot be activated by t-PA. Lp(a) is considered to be a predictor for atherosclerotic disease. READ MORE

4. 22. Life-course influences on occurrence and outcome for stroke and coronary heart disease

   Author : Cecilia Bergh; Scott Montgomery; Katja Fall; Ylva Nilsagård; Peter Appelros; Meena Kumari; Örebro universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiovascular disease; stroke; risk factors; adolescence; stress resilience; adult infections; life-course epidemiology; cohort study;

   Abstract : Although typical clinical onset does not occur until adulthood, cardiovascular disease (CVD) may have a long natural history with accumulation of risks beginning in early life and continuing through childhood and into adolescence and adulthood. Therefore, it is important to adopt a life-course approach to explore accumulation of risks, as well as identifying age-defined windows of susceptibility, from early life to disease onset. READ MORE

5. 23. Diabetes Mellitus and Cardiovascular Risk : epidemiology, etiology and intervention

   Author : Aslak Rautio; Kurt Boman; Anna Norhammar; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : Diabetes; Cardiovascular risk; epidemiology; myocardial infarction; stroke; fibrinolysis; insulin treatment; Diabetes; kardiovaskulär risk; epidemilogi; hjärtinfarkt; stroke; fibrinolys; insulinbehandling; cardiovascular disease; hjärt- och kärlforskning;

   Abstract : Background: The Framingham Study from 1988 showed a heavy impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the risk and prognosis of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Several other studies have confirmed that DM is an independent risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD) and that patients with DM have a poor prognosis. READ MORE

6. 24. Shift work and coronary heart disease

   Author : Anders Knutsson; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CHD; Public health medicine research areas; Folkhälsomedicinska forskningsområden;

   Abstract : Previous research on the medical consequences of shift work has mainly been concerned with sleep disorders and gastrointestinal disturbances. Cardiovascular disease has not been clearly implicated. READ MORE

7. 25. Psychosocial factors and prognosis in coronary heart disease

   Author : Krisztina László; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Aim: This thesis aims to contribute to the better understanding of the role of psychosocial factors in coronary heart disease (CHD) by analysing (1) the relationship of income, anger expression and work stress with prognosis after a cardiac event, (2) potential explanations for these associations and (3) whether a combined intervention consisting of a psychosocial rehabilitation and medical treatment from a cardiologist affects psychosocial risk factors and prognosis in women CHD patients. Methods: Data from the Healthier Female Heart (HFH) study, a randomized controlled trial enrolling consecutively 247 women cardiac patients aged 75 years (papers I, II, IV) and data of 676 non-fatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI) cases from the Stockholm Heart Epidemiology Program (SHEEP) (paper III) were analysed.
