  2. 11. Blood Pressure Elevation - Impact on Cardiovascular Structure and Endogenous Fibrinolysis

    Author : Wilhelm Ridderstråle; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : hypertension; left ventricular hypertrophy; intima-media thickness; fibrinolysis; endothelium; tissue plasminogen activator; antihypertensive agents; mechanical stress; plasminogen activator inhibitor-1;

    Abstract : Blood pressure elevation is a major risk factor for cardiovascular events and the risk increases in a dose-dependant manner. It is of importance to identify subjects prone to develop hypertension and adverse cardiovascular remodeling in order to start treatment timely. READ MORE

  4. 12. Effects of Hemoglobin Normalization with Epoetin in Chronic Kidney Disease

    Author : Hans Furuland; Björn Wikström; Torbjörn Linde; Peter Barany; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Internal medicine; Anemia; blood viscosity; cardiac output; chronic kidney disease; renal dialysis; dialysis adequacy; erythopoietin; heart rate variability; hemoglobin; hemorheology; hypertension; kidney transplantation; Kt V; left ventricular hypertrophy; Quality of Life; Invärtesmedicin; Internal medicine; Invärtesmedicin;

    Abstract : Anemia is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CDK), contributes to reduced Quality of Life (QoL) and is associated with cardiovascular disease, morbidity and mortality. Epoetin raises hemoglobin (Hb) and increases QoL and physical exercise capacity. READ MORE

  5. 13. Influences from physical activity and gender on the metabolic syndrome and left ventricular hypertrophy : cross-sectional and longitudinal studies

    Author : Mats Halldin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Aims: The overall aim was to investigate influences from physical activity (PA) and gender on the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Specific aims: Study 1: To examine the prevalence of the MetS and its association to PA and other lifestyle factors. READ MORE

  6. 14. Structural, functional and metabolic effects of growth hormone on nomal and failing heart

    Author : Entela Bollano; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; growth hormone; myocardial infarction; echocardiography; magnetic resonance spectroscopy; left ventricular remodelling;

    Abstract : The growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor I (GH/IGF-I) system plays an important role for cardiac development, structure and function. Recently, data from experimental and clinical studies have suggested the use of GH as treatment after myocardial infarction (MI) affecting cardiac remodeling and development of heart failureThe aim of this thesis was to study the effects of GH on cardiac structure, function and energy metabolism in normal and failing heart.

  7. 15. Myocardial hypertrophy and extracellular volume by cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging

    Author : Magnus Lundin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease contributes greatly to the disease burden in many developed countries. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is a powerful imaging modality that can diagnose a vast range of these diseases. READ MORE
