  2. 11. The heart in hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis : clinical studies on the impact of amyloid fibril composition

    Author : Björn Pilebro; Ole Suhr; Henning Mölgaard; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Amyloidosis; Transthyretin; Cardiomyopathy; Echocardiography; Scintigraphy; Positron emission tomography; cardiovascular disease; hjärt- och kärlforskning; kardiologi; Cardiology; Clinical Physiology; klinisk fysiologi;

    Abstract : Background Hereditary transthyretin amyloid (ATTRm) amyloidosis is a systemic disease mainly affecting the peripheral nervous system and the heart. The disease is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner with a varying penetrance. It is caused by mutations in the transthyretin (TTR) gene. Today more than 100 disease causing mutations are known.

  4. 12. Surgical Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation with Cryo and Radiofrequency Concomitant to Mitral Valve Surgery : Clinical, Biochemical and Echocardiography Outcomes

    Author : Gabriella Boano; Farkas Vánky; Meriam Åström Aneq; Lena Jideus; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Atrial fibrillation; Mitral valve surgery; Surgical ablation; Cox-Maze IV; Left atrium remodelling; 3D echocardiography;

    Abstract : Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia seen in clinical practice. In cardiac surgery, the negative influence of AF on short- and long-term outcomes has made concomitant ablation procedures more common. READ MORE

    Abstract : There is an ongoing controversy regarding how to take care of patients with mild primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). Some recommend surgical treatment at diagnosis, others just follow-up as long as there is no evidence of disease progression. READ MORE

  7. 15. Structural, functional and metabolic effects of growth hormone on nomal and failing heart

    Author : Entela Bollano; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; growth hormone; myocardial infarction; echocardiography; magnetic resonance spectroscopy; left ventricular remodelling;

    Abstract : The growth hormone/insulin-like growth factor I (GH/IGF-I) system plays an important role for cardiac development, structure and function. Recently, data from experimental and clinical studies have suggested the use of GH as treatment after myocardial infarction (MI) affecting cardiac remodeling and development of heart failureThe aim of this thesis was to study the effects of GH on cardiac structure, function and energy metabolism in normal and failing heart.
