  2. 1. Cardiovascular assessment in middle-aged male long distance runners

    Author : Philip Aagaard; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : early repolarisation;

    Abstract : Endurance events such as long distance running races are increasing in popularity and convey multiple health benefits. However, such exercise forms also represent a major challenge to human cardiovascular physiology and are associated with a momentarily increased risk for adverse cardiac events. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mechanism of Action of the Antiarrhythmic Agent AZD7009

    Author : Frida Persson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : atrial fibrillation; antiarrhythmic drug; IKr; IKur; Ito; IKs; IKACh; INa; ICaL; cardiac action potential; early afterdepolarisation;

    Abstract : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common tachyarrhythmia in the adult population and is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. AF can be terminated and sinus rhythm restored by prolonging the action potential duration (APD) and the refractory period. READ MORE

  5. 3. Novel approaches using electrocardiographic imaging for early detection of ARVC in patients and relatives and symptoms preceding sudden death

    Author : Varvara Kommata; Carina Blomström-Lundqvist; Elena Sciaraffia; Domenico Corrado; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy; diagnosis; gene carriers; body surface mapping; electrocardiographic imaging; sudden cardiac death; Cardiology; Kardiologi; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

    Abstract : Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited disease of the myocardium, predominantly affecting the right ventricle (RV). Arrhythmias are common among patients with the disease and Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD) can occur even in early stages. READ MORE

  6. 4. Cell adhesion molecules during odontogenesis and tooth-related diseases

    Author : Robert Heymann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cell adhesion molecules play essential roles in the development and disease of tooth and oral structures, as well as in the maintenance of adult tissue structure/function. It has been shown that different types of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) play an important part in craniofacial development when ectomesenchymal cells migrate from the neural list to the primitive oral cavity, giving rise to the palatal processes and tooth germs.

  7. 5. Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy : Genetic and Electrocardiographic Aspects on Risk of Ventricular Arrhythmia and Diagnosis

    Author : Anneli Svensson; Cecilia Gunnarsson; Pyotr Platonov; Lars O. Karlsson; Perry M. Elliott; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Introduction: ARVC (Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy) is a heritable rare disease of the heart muscle, primarily affecting the right ventricle, that may cause arrhythmias and heart failure.Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to study various aspects of genetic information and electrocardiography (ECG), for their use in diagnosis and risk evaluation in ARVC.
