2. 1. Determination of the role of oxygen in acute myocardial infarction

   Author : Robin Hofmann; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Myocardial infarction;

   Abstract : Background: Oxygen therapy has been used routinely in patients with suspected acute myocardial infarction (AMI) for more than a hundred years. Even today, supplemental oxygen is widely recommended in guidelines and implemented in clinical practice, despite limited data supporting a beneficial clinical effect. READ MORE

4. 2. Myocardial Perfusion and Function: Comparative assessment by ECG, SPECT and MRI

   Author : Eva Persson; Lund Klinisk fysiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; tomografi; medicinsk instrumentering; Physiology; radiologi; radiology; tomography; medical instrumentation; Klinisk fysiologi; Clinical physics; ST-segment deviation ; myocardial ischemia ; myocardial perfusion ; MRI; CMR; MPS; ECG; SPECT; Fysiologi; Cardiovascular system; myocardial function ; Kardiovaskulära systemet;

   Abstract : Evaluation of myocardial perfusion and function is important in management of patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease. This thesis focuses on the use of common diagnostic methods, myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (MPS) and electrocardiography (ECG), to enhance and validate the diagnostic information.

5. 3. When time matters : Patients’ and spouses’ experiences of suspected acute myocardial infarction in the pre-hospital phase

   Author : Ingela Johansson; Eva Swahn; Johan Herlitz; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acute coronary syndrome; acute myocardial infarction; pre-hospital phase; symptom interpretation; decision-making; spouses; patient delay; ambulance utalisation; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

   Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to describe patients’ and spouses’ experiences of suspected acute myocardial infarction in the pre-hospital phase. A descriptive survey study was conducted to identify various factors influencing patient delay in 381 patients with suspected myocardial infarction hospitalised at a Coronary Care Unit (I) and ambulance utilisation among 110 myocardial infarction patients (II).

6. 4. Artificial neural networks for assessment of patients with suspected acutemyocardial infarction

   Author : Johan Ellenius; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medical sciences; Artificial neural network; decision-support systems; transferability; acute myocardial infarction; infarct size; nondiagnostic ECG; myoglobin; CK-MB; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; medicinsk informatik; medicinsk informatik;

   Abstract : An early diagnosis within the first hours after onset of symptoms is essential for the optimal treatment of patients admitted with chest pain of suspected cardiac origin. In the majority of patients, the 12-lead ECG is nondiagnostic on admission. READ MORE

7. 5. Multi-lead ST-monitoring in the early assessment of patients with suspected or confirmed unstable coronary artery disease

   Author : Tomas Jernberg; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Medical sciences; ST-monitoring; electrocardiography; vectorcardiography; myocardial infarction; unstable angina; prognosis; low-molecular-weight heparin; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

   Abstract : This study evaluated the use of multi-lead ST-monitoring in the early assessment of patients with suspected or confirmed unstable coronary artery disease (UCAD).At continuous 12-lead ECG (c12ECG), the definition of an ischemic episode as a transient ST-deviation ¡Ý0 for at least 1 minute resulted in a good observer agreement (kappa=0.
