6. 4. Electrophysiological effects of contrast media. Dynamic vectorcardiographic monitoring of patients during coronary angiography

   Author : Agneta Flinck; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Dynamic vectorcardiography; electrophysiology; contrast media; cardioangiography; adverse events;

   Abstract : Objective: The aims of this work were to study, by means of dynamic vectorcardiography (VCG), the electrophysiological effects of contrast media (CM) injected into the coronary arteries and to evaluate which VCG variables are most suitable for comparing different CM. We also studied if CM-induced VCG changes differ from those seen after myocardial ischaemia. READ MORE

7. 5. Evaluation of a multifactorial rehabilitation programme on lifestyle behaviour and secondary prevention in patients with coronary artery disease

   Abstract : The objectives of the present work have been to study the effects of a multifactorial rehabilitation programme on rehabilitative and secondary prevention endpoints in patients with coronary artery disease. The programme focused on lifestyle and behavioural changes (smoking, diet, exercise and stress) and was initiated by a four weeks residential stay followed by an eleven months structured follow-up period.
