  2. 11. Evaluation of a Laser Doppler System for Myocardial Perfusion Monitoring

    Author : Carina Fors; Karin Wårdell; Henrik Casimir Ahn; Maria Lindén; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Laser Doppler perfusion monitoring; myocardial microcirculation; coronary artery bypass graft; Medical engineering; Medicinsk teknik;

    Abstract : Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is a common treatment for patients with coronary artery disease. A potential complication of CABG is myocardial ischemia or infarction. In this thesis, a method - based on laser Doppler flowmetry (LDF) - for detection of intra- and postoperative ischemia by myocardial perfusion monitoring is evaluated. READ MORE

  4. 12. Coronary angiography after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest

    Author : Rickard Lagedal; Sten Rubertsson; Stefan James; David Smekal; Markus Skrifvars; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiac arrest; OHCA; coronary angiography; PCI; percutaneous coronary intervention; socioeconomy; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care;

    Abstract : Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a common cause of death with a survival rate of 10% in Sweden. The chance of survival depends on rapid recognition, high quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation and post-resuscitation care including searching and treating the cause of the arrest. READ MORE

  5. 13. Atrial fibrillation : clinical presentation and prevention of recurrences

    Author : Anna Nergårdh; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Atrial fibrillation; arrhythmias; beta-blocker; cardioversion; symptoms;

    Abstract : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia of clinical importance. AF is known to decrease quality of life and it is related to an increased morbidity and a risk of tromboembolic events. AF may also be asymptomatic, and to what extent patients actually are able to distinguish between sinus rhythm (SR) and AF is unknown. READ MORE

  6. 14. Computed tomography of the coronary arteries

    Author : Jonaz Ripsweden; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Non-invasive coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) has become an important tool for visualisation of coronary arteries since the introduction of 64-channel detector CCTA in 2004. It has been proved to be especially beneficial for ruling out coronary artery disease (CAD) in selected patient populations, due to the high negative predictive value (NPV). READ MORE

  7. 15. Craniofacial pain of cardiac origin : an interdisciplinary study

    Author : Marcelo Kreiner; Annika Isberg; Antoon de Laat; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Acute myocardial infarction; myocardial ischemia; craniofacial pain; referred pain; Radiological research; Radiologisk forskning;

    Abstract : Referred pain is frequently associated with misdiagnosis and unnecessary therapy directed to the pain location instead of its origin. When craniofacial pain is the sole symptom of myocardial ischemia, failure to recognize its cardiac source can endanger the patient. READ MORE
