How can we optimize bystander basic life support in cardiac arrest?
(2007-11-23)
The aim of this thesis was to describe various aspects of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and CPR training in order to find approaches for enhancing bystander interventions. Cardiac care patients (n=401) were interviewed ...
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 ...

Molecular mechanisms in obesity-associated metabolic disease
(2007-07-12)
Obesity is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Subjects with obesity are at risk of developing several serious conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart disease and stroke. This thesis ...
Myocardial creatine metabolism in experimental infarction and heart failure
(2007-10-04)
The failing heart is characterized by changes in structure, function and metabolism. All these changes are usually defined as
pathologic remodelling. An important part of this negative remodelling process is disturbances ...

Fatty acids induce potentially atherogenic changes in extracellular matrix proteoglycans
(2007-09-10)
Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are associated with an increased prevalence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD). A key step in the initiation of atherogenesis is retention of low density lipoproteins ...
Growth Hormone in Athletes
(2007-08-24)
Doping with growth hormone (GH) is a well-known problem both among elite athletes and among people training at gyms. It is mainly the anabolic and, to some extent, lipolytic effect of GH that is valued by its users. However, ...
Diagnosis of interatrial shunts and the influence of patent foramen ovale on oxygen desaturation in obstructive sleep apnea
(2007-11-06)
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is found in 27% of the population and although mostly asymptomatic, PFO has been associated with e.g. cryptogenic stroke and, rarely, also with oxygen desaturation. PFO and atrial septal defects ...
