  1. 1. Predicting Myocardial Injury After Noncardiac Surgery

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Giordano Cauli; [2023]
    Keywords : Myocardial injury; hypotension; machine learning; non-cardiac surgery; F1; Myokardiell skada; hypotension; maskininlärning; icke-kardiell kirurgi; F1;

    Abstract : Myocardial injury is the leading cause of death in Europe following non-cardiac surgery. Its causes, diagnosis, and treatment are still under investigation by the scientific community. Some research groups have hypothesized a connection between myocardial injury and hypotension during surgery. READ MORE

  3. 2. Domain Adaptation for Multi-Contrast Image Segmentation in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Thomas Proudhon; [2023]
    Keywords : Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging; Deep Learning; Domain Adaptation; Unsupervised Segmentation; Image-to-image Translation;

    Abstract : Accurate segmentation of the ventricles and myocardium on Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) images is crucial to assess the functioning of the heart or to diagnose patients suffering from myocardial infarction. However, the domain shift existing between the multiple sequences of CMR data prevents a deep learning model trained on a specific contrast to be used on a different sequence. READ MORE

  4. 3. Exercise interventions for patients with myocardial infarction : A descriptive review

    University essay from Högskolan i Gävle/Avdelningen för vårdvetenskap

    Author : Lixiang Lan; Lei Wang; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background:Today, from the perspective of cardiovascular disease, myocardialinfarction is still the most common cardiovascular disease, and the incidence rate isincreasing year by year. Cardiac dysfunction and decreased quality of life are commoncomplications in patients with myocardial infarction. READ MORE

  5. 4. Genetic characterization of a Ragdoll family affected by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Emma Nääs; [2023]
    Keywords : Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; Ragdoll; Genetics; Myosin binding protein C3; Myosin heavy chain 7; Cardiac troponin T; Alstrom syndrome protein 1;

    Abstract : Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common cardiac disease among felines, resulting in myocardial hypertrophy and subsequent decreased cardiac function. Consequently, cats may develop congestive heart failure and/or arterial thromboembolism. The disease is inherited and various mutations in sarcomeric genes have been associated with feline HCM.

  6. 5. A viscoelastic evaluation of an injectable disulfide cross-linked thiol-collagen hydrogel: for tissue bulking post-myocardial infarction to prevent heart failure

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Makromolekylär kemi

    Author : Karin Dungner; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cardiovascular diseases are currently the leading cause of death globally. Progression of the disease affects the composition and function of the heart and in many cases subsequently results in heart failure over time where a heart transplant is vital. Therefore, there is a need for medical treatments to stop the progression of the disease. READ MORE
