11. Catching broken hearts - Electrocardiography and in-hospital outcome in Takotsubo syndrome versus ST elevation myocardial infarction
Abstract : BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Takotsubo syndrome (TS) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have similar symptoms, non-invasive test results and complications. Whereas AMI is caused by cardiac ischemia, the pathophysiology of TS is incompletely understood. READ MORE

12. Pulmonary hypertension and heart failure : physiological markers assessed by cardiovascular magnetic resonance
Abstract : Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is clinically and physiologically associated with heart failure, both with reduced and preserved ejection fraction (HFrEF and HFpEF). In HFpEF, the most likely underlying pathophysiological mechanism is an impairment of left ventricular relaxation named diastolic dysfunction. READ MORE

13. Central projections of sensory innervation of cranial vessels
Abstract : Primary headaches (e.g. migraine and cluster headache), the symptoms of which is associated with cranial vascular activity, is likely to be dependent on a primary central nervous system dysfunction. READ MORE

14. Altered expression of contractile endothelin receptors in the vascular bed
Abstract : This thesis aims at characterizing the endothelin (ET) receptors in different vascular beds of man and rat. The ET-A receptor was shown to be the only contractile ET receptor present in all vascular regions, with the exception of the rat mesenteric vein where a weak ET-B receptor-mediated contraction was seen.

15. Ventricular Long Axis Function: Amplitudes and Timings : Echocardiographic Studies in Health and Disease
Abstract : Background: The ageing process not only increases the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) but also complicates its diagnosis and treatment. It is therefore important to understand the newer concepts of cardiovascular ageing physiology as well as methods of predicting the outcomes of therapeutic options available for the elderly with severe CAD.
