  2. 1. Non-invasive ultrasound-based cardiovascular imaging in mouse models of atherosclerosis

    Author : Julia Grönros; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : atherosclerosis; ultrasound-based imaging; cardiovascular disease; coronary artery; mouse; color Doppler echocardiography; ultrasound biomicroscopy; statin;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis is a chronic multi-factorial vascular disease. It generally requires large clinical settings and over many years to study the disease progression in man. Genetically modified mouse models of atherosclerosis have dramatically increased research feasibility within this area. READ MORE

  4. 2. Imaging of coronary artery function and morphology in living mice - applications in atherosclerosis research

    Author : Johannes Wikström; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : atherosclerosis; coronary artery; coronary flow velocity reserve; imaging; mouse; transthoracic Doppler echocardiography; ultrasound biomicroscopy;

    Abstract : Atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries is the major reason for myocardial infarction and cardiovascular death. In the clinic, several imaging systems make it possible to study coronary artery function and morphology non-invasively, such as transthoracic Doppler echocardiography (TTDE). READ MORE

  5. 3. Effects of physical exercise on coronary and peripheral vascular function. An integrative physiological study from rat to man

    Author : Ulrika Hägg Samuelsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : exercise; endothelial function; coronary flow velocity reserve; colour Doppler echocardiography; oxidative stress; gene expression; stiffness; ultrasound biomicroscopy;

    Abstract : Physical exercise is beneficial for the cardiovascular health. Numerous epidemiological studies reveal that physical activity reduces the risk of cardiovascular related death. Nevertheless, the underlying vessel wall specific physiological and molecular mechanisms still remain incompletely understood. READ MORE

  6. 4. Vascular repair mechanisms : experimental, physiological and clinical studies

    Author : Anton Razuvajev; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of global mortality and physical disability mainly due to the complications of atherothrombosis such as myocardial infarction or stroke. Surgical treatment directed to prevent this conditions is limited by the extensive healing response, intimal hyperplasia. READ MORE

  7. 5. Aspects of arterial wall healing : re-endothelialization, intimal hyperplasia and vascular remodeling

    Author : Samuel Röhl; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality in the world. Despite prevention, the need for interventions remains high. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus have an increased cardiovascular burden and are at higher risk of complications following invasive vascular interventions. READ MORE
