  2. 1. T cell Function in Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy

    Author : Erika Lindberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : cardiomyopathy; lymphocytes; cytokines; autoimmunity; infection;

    Abstract : Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a heart muscle disease characterized by dilatation of one or both ventricles together with decreased systolic function. Its etiology is still largely unknown. READ MORE

  5. 3. Heart failure epidemiology with emphasis on young adults

    Author : Carmen Basic; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiomyopathy; validity; heart failure; mortality; epidemiology;

    Abstract : Background: Heart failure (HF) is a major health problem worldwide with exponentially increasing incidence with age and the majority of patients being elderly. In recent years, an increase in hospitalization and prevalence of HF in younger persons has been documented in Sweden and Denmark, in contrast to an overall decrease in older patients. READ MORE

  6. 4. Electrocardiographic Imaging of Myocardial Ischemia, Infarction and Scar: Correlation with SPECT, MRI and Arrhythmias

    Author : David G Strauss; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Electrocardiography; Imaging; Arrhythmias; Ischemia; Infarction; Cardiomyopathy; SPECT; MRI;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on the development and testing of electrocardiographic (ECG) methods to diagnose and characterize myocardial ischemia, infarction and fibrosis (scar). The goal is to provide improved decision support to physicians regarding the optimal selection of patients for two costly, invasive therapies – percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) for patients with heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

  7. 5. Left ventricular reconstruction in ischemic heart disease

    Author : Ulrik Sartipy; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Left ventricular reconstruction; surgical ventricular restoration; heart failure surgery; left ventricular aneurysm; ischemic heart disease; cardiac remodeling; surgery for ventricular tachycardia;

    Abstract : Objectives: [1] To review our experience with left ventricular reconstruction (LVR) regarding safety (early mortality and morbidity) and long-term survival (Study I). [2] To evaluate LVR including surgery for ventricular tachycardia in patients with preoperative spontaneous or inducible ventricular tachycardia (Study II). READ MORE
