   Author : Helen Moe; [2024]
   Keywords : Adherence; Cross sectional study; Heart failure; Hospitalization-frequency; Non-adherence; Symptom burden;

   Abstract : Aim: The aim of the study was to investigate the degree of adherence and non-adherence to treatment regimen in the population with heart failure, as well as to explore relationships to symptom burden and hospitalization-frequency. Introduction: Heart failure – a chronic disease with a somber prognosis and high mortality, incidence and prevalence increasing world-wide. READ MORE

3. 2. Predicting heart failure emergency readmissions

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

   Author : Paromita Sur; Alexander Stenberg; [2023]
   Keywords : Machine Learning; Patient readmission; Heart Failure; Electronic Health Records;

   Abstract : Recent progress in treatment interventions has resulted in increased survival rates and longevity for diagnosed heart failure patients. However, heart failure still remains one of the leading causes of rehospitalization worldwide, where emergency readmissions continue to be a common occurrence. READ MORE

4. 3. Comparison of direct Fick's principle and thermodilution for calculating cardiac output in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.Does the assessment of cardiac index and pulmonary vascular resistance differ depending on which method is chosen?

   University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för hälsovetenskaper

   Author : Gabriella Persson; [2023]
   Keywords : Pulmonary arterial hypertension; cardiac output; direct Fick´s principle; thermodilution;

   Abstract : Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is an uncommon but serious disease that causes increased pressure in the pulmonary vessels and increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), which in turn leads to right heart failure. At diagnosis, mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) must be >20 mmHg, pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) ≤15 mmHg and PVR >2 Wood units (WU). READ MORE

5. 4. Total body perfusion imaging with 15O-water PET

   University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

   Author : Anna Åhlström; [2023]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background Positron emission tomography scanners can be used together with the PET tracer 15O-water to image perfusion in the body. It has mainly been used to image perfusion in the brain and heart. The new total-body PET scanners have a larger axial field-of-view, making imaging of the whole body possible without moving the patient. READ MORE

6. 5. Generalized super-resolution of 4D Flow MRI : extending capabilities using ensemble learning

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för medicinsk teknik

   Author : Adam Hjalmarsson; Leon Ericsson; [2023]
   Keywords : 4D Flow MRI; Ensemble learning; Super-resolution; Machine learning; Neural networks; 4DFlowNet;

   Abstract : 4D Flow Magnet Resonance Imaging (4D Flow MRI) is a novel non-invasive technique for imaging of cardiovascular blood flow. However, when utilized as a stand-alone analysis method, 4D Flow MRI has certain limitations including limited spatial resolution and noise artefacts, motivating the application of dedicated post-processing tools.
