Importance of cardiac reserve for evaluation and prediction of cardiac function and morbidity assessed by low-dose dobutamine stress echocardiography
(2007-05-22)
This thesis aimed to evaluate the cardiac reserves capacity to be used to predict treatment effects, sub clinical heart disease and to evaluate b1-adrenoceptor (AR) gene polymorphism (Ser49Gly).
Studies were performed ...
The Clinical Relevance and Potential Mechanism of Biomarkers in Elderly Heart Failure Patients
(2013-05-08)
Aim: To study the clinical relevance and potential mechanism of biomarkers in elderly heart failure (HF) patients.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted by access to Swedish Heart Failure Registry with focus on ...
Epidemiological aspects of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality among individuals with diabetes: the relative importance of cardiovascular risk factors
(2018-09-21)
Background: Long-term trends of cardiovascular complications and death among patients with diabetes have not been studied extensively. In addition, we aimed to examine the effect of multifactorial risk factor control, as ...
The importance of long axis function -an echocardiographic study with respect to ageing, response to treatment, prediction of survival and effect of warm water immersion
(2008-10-17)
Echocardiographic M-mode measurement of atrioventricular plane displacement (AVPD) and determination of annular velocity with Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is a reliable method to gauge ventricular long axis function for ...
Aspects of heart failure development and prevention in women
(2020-04-15)
Heart failure (HF) is a severe progressive condition. Women more often are older and suffer from
heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), contrasting to men who more often are
younger and suffer from heart ...
Heart failure and type 1 diabetes
(2018-03-27)
Background: Approximately 45,000 individuals live with type 1 diabetes (T1D) in Sweden. Previous studies have shown an increased risk for heart failure in persons with diabetes, but most of the studies have been in the ...
Heart failure in the elderly: clinical phenotype, prognosis and influencing factors
(2016-11-01)
Background: Heart failure has high morbidity and mortality and the incidence increases with
age. Most randomized studies in heart failure were conducted in younger heart failure patients,
despite the fact that the majority ...
Body mass index and mental health in young people - predictors of early heart failure and cardiomyopathy
(2019-11-18)
Heart failure among young people is rare, but in contrast to decreasing incidence rates
overall, recent studies have found increasing rates among the young over the last
decades. Concomitantly, cardiomyopathies, which ...
Myocardial metabolism in experimental infarction and heart failure
(2008-02-15)
Abstract
The heart is an organ heavily dependent on exogenous lipids for the oxidative production of adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) and therefore maintenance of normal cellular energy homeostasis. However, high energy ...
