2. 1. Invasive treatment of coronary artery disease : Aspects on antithrombotic and percutaneous treatment options

   Author : Per Grimfjärd; Stefan James; Christoph Varenhorst; P Hedberg; Lene Holmvang; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : PCI; STEMI; stent thrombosis; bivalirudin; heparin; bioresorbable scaffold; cangrelor; drug eluting stent; DES; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

   Abstract : The outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has improved considerably thanks to more effective antithrombotic treatment strategies and improved coronary stents. Stent thrombosis (ST) is a rare complication to PCI associated with considerable mortality and morbidity. READ MORE

4. 2. Improving outcomes in patients with coronary heart disease using national registers and platelet function testing

   Author : Sasha Koul; Kardiologi; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; STEMI; NSTEMI; ACS; Ticagrelor; clopidogrel; prasugrel; treatment delays; bivalirudin; heparin; platelet function testing;

   Abstract : Introduction: Ischemic heart disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. The aims of this thesis were to evaluate different contemporary approaches in coronary care with regard to mortality and myocardial infarction. READ MORE

5. 3. Improving management of STEMI patients treated with primary PCI : Pharmacotherapy, renal function estimation and gender perspective

   Author : Dimitrios Venetsanos; Eva Swahn; Joakim Alfredsson; Sofia Sederholm-Lawesson; Sigrun Halvorsen; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : This thesis focused on the acute management of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in an effort to provide information that may improve outcome. The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of bivalirudin versus unfractionated heparin (UFH) in STEMI patients during primary PCI. READ MORE

6. 4. Studies on platelet function and microvesicles in acute coronary syndrome

   Author : Sam Kafian; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : INTRODUCTION: The cornerstone of treatment of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and dual antiplatelet therapy (DAT) with aspirin and the ADP-receptor inhibitor clopidogrel. However, some ACS patients will suffer from recurrent cardiovascular events, and it has been shown that this may partly be due to an insufficient antiplatelet response to DAT. READ MORE

7. 5. Insights into the effect of myocardial revascularisation on electrical and mechanical cardiac function

   Author : Ihab Ramzy Guirguis; Michael Y Henein; Stellan Mörner; Reidar Winter; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; myocardial infarction; natriuretic peptides; echocardiography; ventricular function; atrial function; surgical revascularisation; speckle tracking echocardiography; Cardiology; kardiologi;

   Abstract : Background: Acute coronary syndrome is known for its effect on cardiac function and can lead to impaired segmental and even global myocardial function. Evidence exists that myocardial revascularisation whether pharmacological, interventional or surgical results in improvement of systolic and diastolic left ventricular (LV) function, particularly that of the long axis which represents the sub-endocardial function, known as the most sensitive layer to ischaemia.
