  1. 1. Mitralisregurgitation hos australian kelpie : myxomatös mitralisklaffsjukdom eller annan orsak?

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Eddie Leão Sjöblom; [2023]
    Keywords : Myxomatös klaffsjukdom; MMVD; mitralisregurgitation; australian kelpie; blåsljud; LVIDD;

    Abstract : Myxomatös mitralisklaffsjukdom (MMVD) är en förvärvad hjärtsjukdom som är vanlig bland hundar, särskilt hos mindre raser såsom cavalier king charles spaniel, taxar och toyraser. Sjukdomen leder till en förtjockning och prolaps av klaffarna, vanligtvis mitralisklaffen, som börjar läcka blod från kammaren till förmaket (mitralisregurgitation). READ MORE

  3. 2. Boundary conditions in left ventricle for simulating mitral valve regurgitation

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Théo Cyril Arvid Monpouet Ekeram; Ellen Mattsson; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Since various kinds of cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death today, it is of great importance to further our understanding of not only the diseases themselves, but also different treatments. One of the emerging tools is computational fluid dynamics. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of factors that might affect the grading of heart murmurs in dogs with myxomatous mitral valve disease

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Emilia Horn; [2022]
    Keywords : murmur grading; grading of heart murmurs; factors impacting murmur grading; utility of murmur grading scales; myxomatous mitral valve disease; MMVD; dog;

    Abstract : Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is the most common heart disease in dogs. The first sign of MMVD is usually a heart murmur, which most commonly is detected before clinical signs of the disease potentially develop. The preclinical period of MMVD is usually long and can be prolonged with medical treatment. READ MORE

  5. 4. Predictive value of three-dimensional echocardiographic variables on development of myxomatous mitral valve disease in dogs

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

    Author : Moa Isaksson; [2022]
    Keywords : Cavalier King Charles Spaniel; myxomatous mitral valve disease; three-dimensional echocardiography; prognosis;

    Abstract : Myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD) is the most common acquired cardiovascular disease and the most common cause of congestive heart failure (CHF) in dogs. Cavalier King Charles Spaniels (CKCS) is one of the breeds most commonly affected by MMVD and disease progression has been shown to occur at a younger age among CKCS, when compared to other breeds.

  6. 5. Designing k-Space Filters to Improve Spatiotemporal Resolution with Sector-Wise Golden Angle (SWIG)

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Jonas Ström Seez; [2022]
    Keywords : Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging CMR ; k-Space Filter; Sector Wise Golden-angle SWIG ; Kardiovaskulär Magnetisk Resonans Tomografi CMR ; k-rumsfilter; Sektorsvis Gyllene Vinkel SWIG ;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to design and evaluate k-space weighting filters for simultaneously improving the spatial and temporal resolution of cardiovascular MRI, with the ultimate goal of improving the accuracy of quantitative flow measurements, which are important for diagnosis and follow-up of heart dysfunction. Two different k-space filters were implemented and evaluated retrospectively to already acquired data. READ MORE
