  2. 11. On-line vectorcardiography during coronary angioplasty and unstable coronary artery disease

    Author : Jens Jensen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : vectorcardiography; myocardial ischemia; coronary artery disease; percutaneous coronary angioplasty; prognosis; gender; tissue Doppler echocardiography;

    Abstract : This thesis evaluates the usefulness of continuous vectorcardiography (VCG) in patients undergoing elective coronary angioplasty and in patients with unstable coronary artery disease (CAD), for detection and quantitation of myocardial ischemia and for identification of patients at risk of coronary events. The aims were to investigate, whether continuous on-line VCG: 1. READ MORE

  4. 12. Cardiovascular events after acute coronary syndrome with special reference to ischemic stroke

    Author : Anders Ulvenstam; Thomas Mooe; Bo Carlberg; Per Tornvall; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cardiovascular disease; acute coronary syndrome; acute myocardial infarction; ischemic stroke; time trends; risk factors; P2Y12-receptor inhibitor; ticagrelor; major adverse cardiovascular events; revascularization; lipid-lowering therapy; Medicine; medicin; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Abstract : Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) encompasses acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and unstable angina (UA). It is a global major cause of morbidity and mortality in both the short and long terms. READ MORE

  5. 13. Signs and implications of ischemia in unstable coronary artery disease

    Author : Ingvar Nyman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Signs and implications of ischemia in ECG at rest and at a predischarge exercise test (ET), were assessed in 911 patients with suspected or definite unstable coronary artery disease (CAD) - i.e. unstable angina or non-Q-wave myocardial infarction (MI). READ MORE

  6. 14. Genes, lifestyle and coronary heart disease risk-epidemiological interaction studies

    Author : Jaana Gustavsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Coronary heart disease; gene-lifestyle interaction; APOE; FTO; GHRL; smoking; physical activity; diet; obesity;

    Abstract : Coronary heart disease (CHD) has multifactorial background involving both genetic and lifestyle factors, but much is still unknown about their interactions. The aim of this thesis was to study interactions focusing on apolipoprotein E (APOE), fat mass and obesity-related (FTO) and ghrelin/obestatin prepropeptide (GHRL) genes, as well as smoking, physical activity and diet.

  7. 15. On-line vectorcardiography in ischemic heart disease

    Author : Peter Lundin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Vectorcardiography; ischemia monitoring; coronary artery disease; exercise test; echocardiography; dobutamine; unstable angina pectoris; myocardial infarction; prognosis.;

    Abstract : The clinical usefulness of continuous on-line vector cardiography (VCG) was assessed in 435 patients, admitted to the coronary care unit. The ability of 24-hour VCG monitoring to differentiate patients with or without ischemic heart disease (IHD), to provide long-term prognostic information and to predict results from a predischarge exercise test in patients with unstable angina pectoris or acute myocardial infarction (MI) was evaluated.
