  4. 2. Heart failure : studies of prognosis and advanced therapy

    Author : Tonje Thorvaldsen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Heart failure (HF) is a major health problem affecting 2-3% of the Western population. The clinical syndrome of HF is associated with reduced (HFrEF) or preserved (HFpEF) ejection fraction. Around 50% of the patients have HFrEF and despite advances in treatment, prognosis remains poor and treatments are underutilized. READ MORE

  5. 3. 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

  6. 4. Performance of a revised capnodynamic method for cardiac output monitoring

    Author : Thorir Sigmundsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Cardiac output;

    Abstract : Cardiac output (CO) monitoring is ideal for guiding fluid, vasopressor and inotropic therapy for sufficient oxygen delivery and may improve outcome in high risk surgery. In this context, many minimally-and non-invasive methods have emerged during recent years, however, they appear less reliable when compared to the thermodilution methods during rapid changes in vascular volume and resistance, a common feature during major surgery.

  7. 5. Drug use in the elderly : are quantity and quality compatible

    Author : Inga Klarin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Population-based; cross-sectional; longitudinal; aged; aged 80 and over; drug utilization; cardiovascular agents; angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors; inappropriate drug use; heart failure; dementia; hospitalization; mortality; Sweden.;

    Abstract : The increasing number of elderly, and the increasing drug use among the elderly, emphasizes the need to continuously monitor drug utilization in this group. The scarcity of randomized controlled trials including elderly people give population-based, observational studies an important role as source of information on drug use and drug-related problems.
