2. 1. Acute Pulmonary Embolism : not just an acute condition after all

   Author : Therese Andersson; Stefan Söderberg; Bo Carlberg; Bengt Zöller; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute Pulmonary Embolism; Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension CTEPH ; Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Disease CTEPD ; invärtesmedicin; Internal Medicine; kardiologi; Cardiology;

   Abstract : Background: Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most common cardiovascular disease following myocardial infarction and stroke. Despite diagnostic improvements, the diagnosis of PE is still associated with many difficulties, as the symptoms of an acute PE are nonspecific. READ MORE

4. 2. Acute pulmonary embolism - aspects of respiratory symptoms and physical activity

   Author : Jenny S Danielsbacka; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Pulmonary embolism; Symptoms and signs; respiratory; Activity leisure; Respiratory function tests; Walk test; Qualitative research;

   Abstract : Introduction. Pulmonary embolism (PE) is the third most common cardiovascular disease, after myocardial infarction and stroke. Post-PE syndrome, which is characterized by long-term consequences of PE with persistent dyspnea and decreased functional capacity, has been acknowledged as a risk in the aftermath. READ MORE

5. 3. Atrial fibrillation : treatment, associated conditions and quantification of symptoms

   Author : Niklas Höglund; Steen Jensen; Milos Kesek; Karl Franklin; Juhani Koistinen; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; cardioversion; atorvastatin; high-sensitivity C-reactive protein; symptoms; sleep apnea; kardiologi; Cardiology;

   Abstract : Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia. There is a need for new pharmacological treatment strategies since the current antiarrhythmic drugs have a modest efficacy and may have severe side effects. Cardioversion (CV) of AF offers an opportunity to study related conditions in sinus rhythm (SR) and during AF. READ MORE

6. 4. Fatigue, functional status, health and pulmonary rehabilitation in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

   Author : Kersti Theander; Mitra Unosson; Berit Lundman; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; fatigue; functional status; health; pulmonary rehabilitation; Fatigue impact scale; confirmatory factor analysis; Nursing; Omvårdnad;

   Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to describe fatigue, functional limitations due to fatigue and health in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), as well as to compare patients with individuals from the general population and to test if pulmonary rehabilitation can reduce fatigue and functional limitations, and thus improve health. A further aim was to test the Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS) among patients with COPD. READ MORE

7. 5. Assessment of Pulmonary Blood Flow in Heart Failure. Using Novel and Non-Invasive Diagnostic Methods

   Author : Mariam Al-Mashat; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; heart failure; magnetic resonance imaging; pulmonary congestion; pulmonary perfusion; tomographic lung scintigraphy; V P SPECT;

   Abstract : In heart failure (HF), the heart is unable to pump effectively in order to satisfy the demands of the body. The elevated filling pressure seen in HF leads to accumulation of fluid in the lungs, i.e pulmonary congestion. While investigation with chest X-ray is recommended, it has limitations in detecting pulmonary congestion. READ MORE
