    Abstract : Impact of chronic total occlusions, arterial access site and pretreatment with antiplatelet drugs on mortality in patients with ischemic heart disease: A report from the SWEDEHEART registry Background Treatment of ischemic heart disease has advanced substantially in the past half-century. However, despite these achievements the survival rates in high-income countries such as Sweden have reached a plateau in the last decade. READ MORE

  4. 2. Strategies to improve outcome in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction treated with primary PCI

    Author : Tim Tödt; Eva Swahn; Jan Engvall; Magnus Janzon; Stefan James; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) caused by a ruptured atherosclerotic plaque with overlying thrombosis leads to ischemia and progressively to the death of the myocardial cells supplied by the affected coronary artery. Rapid reperfusion with primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) in an experienced centre is the preferred therapy for these patients. READ MORE

  5. 3. The impact of different techniques used for coronary angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention on the occurrence of procedure-related ischemic cerebral complications

    Author : Juliane Jurga; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Coronary angiography (CA) is the gold standard in diagnosing and determining the treatment of patients with coronary heart disease. Procedure-related neurological complications are rare; 0.1-0.4% for CA and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). READ MORE

    Abstract : Background. Myocardial infarction (MI) remains the leading cause of death worldwide, despite several advances in acute coronary care during the last decades. This thesis assessed different risk stratification tools and evaluated interventional and pharmacological treatment strategies in high-risk patients with MI. Methods. READ MORE

  7. 5. Clinically-driven angiography after coronary artery bypass surgery : Results from the SWEDEHEART registry

    Author : Mikael Janiec; Rickard Lindblom; Stefan Thelin; Alexander Wahba; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CABG; Coronary artery bypass surgery; angiography; graft failure; Thorax Surgery; Thoraxkirurgi;

    Abstract : The success of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) arguably depends on the patency rate of the conduits. The saphenous vein grafts (SVGs) most often used are subject to graft disease and their reduced long-term patency compared to left internal mammary artery (IMA) grafts is well established. READ MORE
