   Abstract : IntroductionPaper I: An Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was constructed to identify ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) and predict the need for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). Paper II, III and IV: Studies suggest that O2 therapy may be harmful in STEMI patients. READ MORE

4. 2. Symptoms and care seeking behaviour during myocardial infarction in patients with diabetes

   Author : Karin Hellström Ängerud; Christine Brulin; Mats Eliasson; Ulf Näslund; Anna Strömberg; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; myocardial infarction; diabetes mellitus; symptoms; symptom interpretation; pre-hospital delay; patient delay; decision making; care seeking behaviour; omvårdnadsforskning med medicinsk inriktning; Caring Sciences;

   Abstract : Background: In Myocardial infarction (MI) it is well established that timely diagnosis and treatment may reduce mortality and improve the prognosis. Therefore it is important that patients with MI seek medical care as soon as possible. Patients with diabetes have a higher risk for MI and worse prognosis compared to patients without diabetes.

5. 3. Myocardial infarction personality factors, coping strategies, depression and secondary prevention

   Author : Mona Schlyter; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : Acute myocardial infarction; Personality factors; Coping strategies; depression; smoking cessation; Secondary prevention;

   Abstract : A longitudinal study with 400 patients diagnosed with myocardial infarction (MI) was conducted at the Cardiology department at Malmö University hospital in Sweden, between 2002 and 2005. The aim of the project was to identify personality and psychosocial factors, influencing patients’ actions and the prognoses after MI. READ MORE

6. 4. Perioperative myocardial damage and cardiac outcome in patients-at-risk undergoing non-cardiac surgery

   Author : Anna Oscarsson Tibblin; Christina Eintrei; Sven-Erik Ricksten; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Myocardial damage; cardiac complication; outcome; aspirin; acetylsalicylic acid; Anaesthetics and intensive care; Anestesiologi och intensivvård;

   Abstract : Despite increasingly sophisticated perioperative management, cardiovascular complications continue to be major challenges for the clinician. As a growing number of elderly patients with known coronary artery disease (CAD) or with risk factors for CAD are undergoing non-cardiac surgery, cardiovascular complications will remain a significant clinical problem in the future.

7. 5. Epidemiology of heart failure and feasibility of home care in patients with worsening chronic heart failure

   Author : Masoud Shafazand; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Chronic heart failure; mortality; deterioration; hospitalisation; gender; home care; quality-adjusted life years; emergency care; health care costs; ischaemic; non-ischaemic; health-related quality of life; conventional care; acute myocardial infarction; coronary heart disease; heart failure;

   Abstract : Aim: To investigate gender-specific trends in long-term mortality in patients hospitalised for ischaemic and non-ischaemic heart failure (HF) and explore temporal trends in the risk of HF complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Another aim is to characterise patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) that seek an emergency department (ED) because of their deteriorating condition and evaluate the feasibility of home care (HC) in comparison with conventional care (CC) in patients with worsening CHF.
