  2. 6. 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. 7. Quantification of 4D Left Ventricular Blood Flow in Health and Disease

    Author : Jonatan Eriksson; Tino Ebbers; Carl-Johan Carlhäll; Gianni Pedrizzetti; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MRI; relative pressure; 4D flow; quantification; turbulent kinetic energy; dilated cardiomyopathy; magnetic resonance imaging; physiology; cardiac function; diastolic dysfunction;

    Abstract : The main function of the heart is to pump blood throughout the cardiovascular system by generating pressure differences created through volume changes. Although the main purpose of the heart and vessels is to lead the flowing blood throughout the body, clinical assessments of cardiac function are usually based on morphology, approximating the flow features by viewing the motion of the myocardium and vessels.

  6. 9. ß-Adrenergic receptor gene polymorphism in dilated cardiomyopathy. Clinical and functional relevance

    Author : Malin Levin; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : During normal physiological conditions, catecholamines induce positive inotropic and chronotropic responses in the heart through a ß-adrenergic receptor (AR)-activated pathway. The agonist-bound ßAR selectively interacts with the stimulatory Gs-protein, which activates adenylyl cyclase, catalyzing cAMP formation. READ MORE

  7. 10. Immunobiochemical mechanisms and pathophysiological significance of β₁-adrenergic receptor autoantibodies in dilated cardiomyopathy

    Author : Reza Mobini; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) is a heart muscle disease of unknown origin and the second most common reason for heart transplantation. Autoimmune processes are involved in the progression of the disease. Circulating autoantibodies against several cardiac proteins have been identified in these patients, e.g. READ MORE
