  2. 16. About hyaluronan in the hypertrophic heart : studies on coordinated regulation of extracellular matrix signalling

    Author : Urban Hellman; Anders Waldenström; Stellan Mörner; Anna Engström-Laurent; Lena Jonasson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : hyaluronan; hyaluronan synthases; gene expression; extracellular matrix; cardiac hypertrophy; rat wistar; male ; cardiomyocytes; growth factors; fibroblasts; microvesicles; exosomes; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : Background. Myocardial hypertrophy is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Independent of underlying disease, the cardiac muscle strives in different ways to compensate for an increased workload. This remodelling of the heart includes changes in the extracellular matrix which will affect systolic and diastolic cardiac function. READ MORE

  4. 17. Myocardial creatine metabolism in experimental infarction and heart failure

    Author : Malin Lindbom; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Energy metabolism; Creatine; Congestive heart failure; Myocardial infarction; Ventricular arrhythmias; Cardiac remodeling; apolipoprotein B; Lipid metabolism;

    Abstract : The failing heart is characterized by changes in structure, function and metabolism. All these changes are usually defined as pathologic remodelling. An important part of this negative remodelling process is disturbances in the myocardial energy metabolism. READ MORE

  5. 18. Early parathyroidectomy in mild primary hyperparathyroidism: Effects on heart and bones

    Author : Erik Almqvist; Kirurgi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; parathyroidectomy; hyperparathyroidism; bone metabolism; testosterone; myocardial hypertrophy; cardiac function; echocardiography; radionuclide angiography; natriuretic peptide; Surgery; orthopaedics; traumatologi; ortopedi; traumatology; Kirurgi;

    Abstract : There is an ongoing controversy regarding how to take care of patients with mild primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Some recommend surgical treatment at diagnosis, others just follow-up as long as there is no evidence of disease progression. READ MORE

  6. 19. T-vector and T-loop morphology analysis of ventricular repolarization in ischemic heart disease

    Author : Aigars Rubulis; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is responsible for about half of all cardiovascular deaths in the western world. Heterogeneous ventricular repolarization (VR) is a common denominator in the genesis of malignant ventricular arrhythmias responsible for SCD and the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) is an aggravating factor.

  7. 20. Relevance of the salt-inducible kinase network for the development of high blood pressure and cardiac hypertrophy

    Author : Sergej Popov; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a multifactorial condition that remains a big worldwide problem. 95% of all hypertensive people suffer from essential hypertension with unknown causes. This can cause different heart diseases such as cardiac hypertrophy (CH), a condition which can ultimately lead to heart failure. READ MORE
