1. Predicting Myocardial Injury After Noncardiac Surgery
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)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

2. Domain Adaptation for Multi-Contrast Image Segmentation in Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging
University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)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. Genetic characterization of a Ragdoll family affected by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical SciencesAbstract : 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.

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 kemiAbstract : 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
