2. 1. Clinically Unrecognized Myocardial Scars Detected by MRI

   Author : Raquel Espregueira Themudo; Tomas Bjerner; Andrew Arai; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; unrecognized myocardial scars; myocardial infarction; epidemiology; magnetic resonance; computed topographic coronary angiography; exercise test; NT-proBNP; Radiology; Radiologi; Cardiology; Kardiologi;

   Abstract : A high percentage of unrecognized myocardial infarctions (UMIs) seen at delayed-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) are not detected by ECG. DE-MRI-detected UMIs are independent predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease. READ MORE

4. 2. Myocardial Scars on MRI : Their Prevalence and Possible Impact

   Author : Charlotte Ebeling Barbier; Håkan Ahlström; Tomas Bjerner; Lars Johansson; Lars Lind; Kirsi Lauerma; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Radiology; magnetic resonance imaging; myocardial infarction; epidemiology; myocardial infarction; epidemiology; Radiologisk forskning;

   Abstract : Myocardial infarction (MI) causes high morbidity and mortality worldwide and for effective prevention and treatment MIs have to be adequately detected.The existence of clinically unrecognized MIs (UMIs) has been known for the past hundred years, but an ultimate tool for their detection has not yet been found.

5. 3. Magnetic resonance imaging markers of cerebral small vessel disease in an elderly population – association with cardiovascular disease and cognitive function

   Author : Ruta Nylander; Elna-Marie Larsson; Mona K. Beyer; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Magnetic resonance imaging; cerebral perfusion; small vessel disease; cognitive function; Radiology; Radiologi;

   Abstract : Cerebral small vessel disease (SVD) is identifiable by clinical, neuroimaging, neuropathological and cognitive findings.The aim of this thesis was to assess SVD and cerebral perfusion on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a 75-year-old population and compare the findings with scars of myocardial infarctions, cardiovascular risk markers and cognitive function.
