   Abstract : Background and aimsHeart failure (HF) is a major cause of serious morbidity and death in the population and one of the leading medical causes of hospitalization among people older than 60 years. The aim of this thesis was to describe how to create and how to analyze a Heart Failure Registry with emphasis on Anemia and Quality of Life. READ MORE

4. 2. Comprehensive assessment of device-based therapy for heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

   Author : Benedikt Norbert Schrage; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Despite a recommendation by the European guidelines, the use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is scarce. This might be explained by a lower risk of SCD in contemporary patients with HFrEF, so that the need for primary prevention ICD use in these patients has been questioned. READ MORE

5. 3. Biomarkers of inflammation in atrial fibrillation

   Author : Julia Aulin; Jonas Oldgren; Ziad Hijazi; Lars Wallentin; Håkan Wallén; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; biomarkers; inflammation; inflammatory biomarkers; oral anticoagulation; heart failure; left ventricular function; ejection fraction; risk assessment; risk prediction; interleukin 6 IL-6 ; C-reactive protein CRP ;

   Abstract : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common and associated with increased risk of stroke, heart failure (HF) and mortality. Inflammation is linked to AF.The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate inflammatory activity and cardiovascular outcomes and mortality in patients with AF on effective oral anticoagulation.

6. 4. Exercise in patients with chronic heart failure. With emphasis on peripheral muscle training, hydrotherapy and type 2 diabetes mellitus

   Author : Åsa Cider; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : Exercise tolerance; Ejection fraction; Metabolic function; Muscle function; Oxygen uptake; Physical therapy techniques; Quality of life; Rehabilitation; Stroke volume; Water immersion;

   Abstract : Chronic heart failure (CHF) is not uncommon in developed countries with a growing ageing population. CHF is a chronic syndrome, which markedly impact negatively on the patient s life situation. Considerable impaired physical function and reduced health related quality of life is often present.

7. 5. Heart failure : role of metabolic biomarkers, ejection fraction, and sex

   Author : Ulrika Ljung Faxén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Heart failure (HF) is common and associated with impaired quality of life (QoL) and poor prognosis. There is a ternary classification of HF based on ejection fraction (EF): HF with preserved(HFpEF), mid-range EF(HFmrEF), and reduced EF(HFrEF). READ MORE
