  2. 1. Unstable coronary artery disease : Studies on inflammation, infection, hemostasis, and the effects of low-molecular-mass heparin treatment

    Author : Henrik Toss; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; unstable angina; myocardial infarction; prognosis; inflammation; hemostasis; fibrinolysis; resistance to activated protein C. low-molecular-mass heparin; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; Medicine; medicin;

    Abstract : The occurrence and prognostic importance, of inflammatory activity, signs of Chlamydia pneumoniae infection. APC resistance, hemostasis, and the effects of low-molecular-mass heparin (LMMH) was evaluated in patients with unstable coronary artery disease (UCAD). READ MORE

  4. 2. Unstable coronary artery disease : non-invasive indicators of severity of coronary lesions and the effects of thrombolysis

    Author : Jan-Erik Karlsson; Rolf Nordlander; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : Non-invasive indicators of severity of coronary lesions and the effects of thrombolysis were evaluated in 205 men, 38 to 70 years of age with unstable coronary aticty disease (CAD)- i.e. unstable angina or non-Q wave myocardial infarction - admitted to the coronary care units in nine hospitals.

  5. 3. Leukocytes and Coronary Artery Disease : Experimental and Clinical Studies

    Author : Eva Lindmark; Peter Kierulf; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Tissue factor; monocytes; platelets; cytokines; endothelial cells; unstable coronary artery disease; coagulation; inflammation; biochemical markers; IL-6; risk stratification; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Clinical Chemistry; klinisk kemi;

    Abstract : Tissue factor (TF) is the initiator of the coagulation cascade. Monocytes do not normally express TF, but can be induced to do so by certain stimuli. Aberrant TF expression is important in the thrombotic complications of bacterial sepsis, certain malignancies and coronary artery disease (CAD). READ MORE

  6. 4. Early Invasive Strategy in Unstable Coronary Artery Disease : Outcome in Relation to Risk Stratification

    Author : Erik Diderholm; Lars Grip; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Medical sciences; Unstable angina; non-ST elevation myocardial infarction; risk stratification; coronary angiography; revascularisation; MEDICIN OCH VÅRD; MEDICINE; MEDICIN; kardiologi; Cardiology;

    Abstract : In unstable coronary artery disease (CAD) it still is a matter of debate which patients should undergo early revascularisation. In the FRISC II study (n=2457) an early invasive strategy was, compared to a primarily non-invasive strategy, associated with reduced mortality and myocardial infarction (MI) rates. READ MORE

  7. 5. Treatment strategies in unstable coronary artery disease : economic and quality of life evaluations

    Author : Magnus Janzon; Marcus Flather; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : During the past few decades two treatment strategies have evolved for patients with unstable coronary artery disease (UCAD). The non-invasive strategy uses clinical investigations and non-invasive stress tests to identify patients who need diagnostic catheterisation. READ MORE
