  1. 1. On secondary prevention after acute coronary syndrome : -what, when, and who

    Author : Daniel Huber; Thomas Mooe; Nikolai Stenfors; Annika Rosengren; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular disease; acute coronary syndrome; secondary prevention; nurse-led; statins; randomized controlled trial.; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Abstract : BackgroundCardiovascular disease, of which coronary heart disease constitutes the lion’s share, is the leading cause of premature morbidity and mortality worldwide. Management of the condition has evolved rapidly in recent decades, and mortality has more than halved in the western world.

  2. 2. Clinically-driven angiography after coronary artery bypass surgery : Results from the SWEDEHEART registry

    Author : Mikael Janiec; Rickard Lindblom; Stefan Thelin; Alexander Wahba; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CABG; Coronary artery bypass surgery; angiography; graft failure; Thorax Surgery; Thoraxkirurgi;

    Abstract : The success of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) arguably depends on the patency rate of the conduits. The saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) most often used are subject to graft disease and their reduced long-term patency compared to left internal mammary artery (IMA) grafts is well established. READ MORE

  3. 3. Implications of myocardial dysfunction before and after aortic valve intervention

    Author : Henrik Hultkvist; Farkas Vánky; Rolf Svedjeholm; Jonas Holm; Odd Bech-Hanssen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : BACKGROUNDPostoperative heart failure in the setting of aortic valve surgery results in poor long-term survival. We hypothesized that there could be a myocardial factor that is not addressed by risk scores currently available. We speculated that this myocardial factor could be diastolic dysfunction. READ MORE

  4. 4. Remote ischemic conditioning to protect the heart in myocardial infarction : therapeutic intervention and underlying mechanisms

    Author : Dinos Verouhis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Urgent reperfusion of the occluded coronary artery halts the ischemic insult to the myocardium and is the single most important action to limit infarct size in ST-elevation myocardial infarction. However, reperfusion itself introduces an additional threat to the recovering ischemic myocardium whereby still viable cardiomyocytes suffer additional irreversible damage. READ MORE

  5. 5. Metabolic risk markers and relative survival in patients with aortic stenosis requiring surgery

    Author : Anders Holmgren; Ulf Näslund; Stefan Söderberg; Michael Henein; Rune Haaverstad; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; aortic stenosis; aortic valve surgery; coronary artery disease; prospective cohort study; risk markers; lipoprotein a ; apolipoproteins; proteomics; troponin T; C-reactive protein; relative survival; observed survival; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Abstract : Background: Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valve disorder requiring surgery in developed countries. The etiology of AS is only partly known.  Identification of new biomarkers in prospective studies could lead to novel insights in the etiology of AS, and possibly lead to improved clinical management.
