Vascular Function in Chronic Renal Failure
(2014-02-21)
A majority of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) die of cardiovascular (CV) disease before reaching end-stage renal disease. The causes of CV death in CKD are characterized by an excess of sudden cardiac deaths ...
Hypertension and cardiovascular risk factors in women - a follow-up study forty years after hypertensive pregnancies
(2013-04-03)
The aims of the thesis were to investigate the impact of pregnancy blood pressure, a
current diagnosis of hypertension and blood pressure levels on neurohumoral, cardiovascular
and metabolic status in postmenopausal women ...
Register-based evaluation of primary care - Focus on chronic disease
(2019-09-19)
Background: Options for following up primary care at the regional level have increased in Sweden, partly as a result of a national reform in 2009. In Region Västra Götaland (VGR) this was the starting point for a quality ...
Long-term follow-up of adult women with urinary tract infection in childhood
(2016-01-27)
Acute pyelonephritis is common in young children and can lead to permanent renal damage. Renal damage increases the risk of complications such as hypertension and decreased renal function later in life. For women with renal ...
Carbonic anhydrase activity in sleep apnea - a potential therapeutic mechanism for intervention
(2016-11-30)
There is no pharmacological treatment for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in clinical practice. The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate the effect of carbonic anhydrase (CA) enzyme activity on sleep apnea severity ...
Renal artery stenosis. Aspects of diagnosis and endovascular treatment.
(2018-03-23)
Background. Renal artery stenosis (RAS) becomes haemodynamically significant when it reduces the arterial pressure below the threshold for autoregulation of renal perfusion. Physiological responses to reduced renal perfusion ...
Self-management in hypertension care
(2015-11-04)
Despite effective treatment strategies for hypertension, many persons with hypertension still fail to reach recommended blood pressure targets. As hypertension is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, ...
Pharmacological stimulation of endothelial function and long-term impact of hypertension in man
(2016-05-06)
Background: Ischemic heart disease is a major cause of death globally. Rupture of a coronary atherosclerotic
plaque with occluding thrombus formation is the main cause of myocardial ischemia and infarction.
A healthy ...
Renal denervation in patients with resistant hypertension
(2018-02-05)
BACKGROUND
Catheter-based renal denervation (RDN) is a potential modality in the treatment of patients with resistant hypertension (RH). The biological effects of RDN are not fully comprehended and studies examining its ...
Acute coronary syndromes. The prognostic importance of hypertension, diabetes and vectorcardiographic markers
(2013-11-11)
Research questions:
1 Is hypertension and diabetes associated with the future risk of death, and recurrent manifestations of cardiovascular disease in acute coronary syndromes (ACS)?
2 How does myocardial ischemia affect ...
