  2. 1. Myocardial creatine metabolism in experimental infarction and heart failure

    Author : Malin Lindbom; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : Energy metabolism; Creatine; Congestive heart failure; Myocardial infarction; Ventricular arrhythmias; Cardiac remodeling; apolipoprotein B; Lipid metabolism;

    Abstract : The failing heart is characterized by changes in structure, function and metabolism. All these changes are usually defined as pathologic remodelling. An important part of this negative remodelling process is disturbances in the myocardial energy metabolism. READ MORE

  4. 2. Signal transduction in restenosis and myocardial protection by hyperoxia

    Author : Arno Ruusalepp; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Neointima; inflammation; NF-kappaB; preconditioning; MAPK; nitric oxide;

    Abstract : Ischemic heart disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the western world. Revascularization of ischemic myocardium is essential for cell survival, and is performed by thrombolysis, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and by coronary artery bypass grafting.

  5. 3. Cardiac abnormalities in chronic kidney disease

    Author : Pavlos Kashioulis; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cardiovascular; chronic kidney disease; diastolic dysfunction;

    Abstract : Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global health problem associated with increased risk of mortality and development of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality even before the development of ESRD. READ MORE

  6. 4. Focal ischemic reperfusion stroke model in rats and the role of galanin

    Author : Lovisa Holm; Annette Theodorsson; Elvar Theodorsson; Tomas Hökfelt; Yanlin Wang-Fischer; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Stroke is the third most common cause for mortality in industrialised countries and amongst the major causes of long- time morbidity. While the mortality due to myocardial infarction has been dramatically reduced during the last 10-15 years, mortality due to stroke remains almost the same, despite the fact that the two share similar basic pathogenic mechanisms including atherosclerosis, hypertension and diabetes.

  7. 5. Modifications of cardiovascular response to ischemia and trauma

    Author : Fausto Labruto; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Ischemia; trauma; cardiovascular function; preconditioning;

    Abstract : Ischemia and trauma are two clinical problems characterized by a common response: inflammation and potentially deleterious effects on the organism. Surgery is a form of trauma, and the most advanced surgical operations, including open heart surgery, aortic surgery, and organ transplantation, cause trauma and ischemia of the cardiovascular system.
