  2. 1. Predictors of survival in cardiac arrest

    Author : Nooraldeen Al-Dury; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiac arrest; cardiopulmonary resuscitation; predictors; survival; machine learning;

    Abstract : Cardiac arrest (CA) refers to the cessation of cardiac function. Survival is around 30% for in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA), and 10% for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). READ MORE

  4. 2. Aspects of Intraoperative Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

    Author : Birgitta Johansson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : atrial fibrillation; intraoperative ablation; radiofrequency; cryo; epicardial; quality of life; atrial function; predictors of rhythm;

    Abstract : Background: Increasing knowledge about mechanisms that trigger and maintain atrial fibrillation (AF) has influenced the possibilities for treatment and even cure of AF. The surgical Cox Maze III procedure is still the gold standard for the curative treatment of AF. READ MORE

  5. 3. Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation : effects on rhythm, symptoms and health-related quality of life

    Author : Anna Björkenheim; Dritan Poçi; Deirdre Lane; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; catheter ablation; symptoms; quality of life;

    Abstract : Background: AF ablation is an increasingly used treatment in patients with AF to improve patient-reported outcomes (PROs). Atrioventricular junction ablation (AVJA) is a palliative treatment option in therapy refractory AF that improves PROs but renders the patient pacemaker dependent. READ MORE

  6. 4. Antiarrhythmic and arrhythmic effects of an Ikr-blocking class III agent. A clinical and electrocardiographic study of almokalant

    Author : Birgitta Houltz; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Almokalant; class III antiarrhythmic agent; potassium channel blocker; atrial fibrillation; sinus rhythm; conversion; electrocardiographic; QT interval prolongation; T wave morphology; prediction; torsades de pointes; proarrhythmia; QT dispersion; ventric;

    Abstract : The interest in class III drugs has increased over the last decades as being potent antiarrhythmic agents in their mode of action by prolongation of repolarization and with no effect on conduction. Class I antiarrhythmic agents have proven effective in conversion of atrial fibrillation (AF), but may cause serious proarrhythmia. READ MORE

  7. 5. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) for the treatment of cardiogenic shock : identification of pre-implant outcome predictors

    Author : Thomas Fux; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Refractory cardiogenic shock (RCS), cardiac arrest (CA) and postarrest cardiogenic shock (CS) are associated with high mortality. Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is increasingly used and can offer acute cardiopulmonary life support in this critically ill population but selection of VA-ECMO candidates remains challenging.
