Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Athlete’s Heart – Gender Aspects K. Steding1, H. Engblom1, M. Carlsson1, H. Mosén1, T. Buhre2, B. Wohlfart1, H. Arheden1 1Dept. Clinical Physiology, Lund University, 2Dept. Sport Sciences, Malmö University Introduction: Training induced morphological changes to the heart in male subjects has previously been well described. Only a few studies include females. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate if the morphological response to training differs between male and female athletes. Methods: Eighteen triathletes (6 female) and 59 controls (19 female) underwent cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Total heart volume (THV), left ventricular mass (LVM) and end diastolic volume (EDV) was calculated using planimetry derived from steady state free precession cine images. Mann-Whitney non-parametric t-test was used to compare THV/body surface area (BSA), LVM/THV and EDV/THV in the four groups. Results: THV/BSA was significantly higher in athletes, both for males and females (p<0.0001, p<0.001 respectively). Male controls had a significantly higher THV/BSA when compared to female controls (p=0.004) and also LVM/THV (p=0.001). However, there were no significant differences between male and female athletes for any of the variables studied. Conclusion: Long term endurance training increases THV in the same order of magnitude in both male and female athletes. The differences seen between male and female control subjects are not found in male and female athletes.

The Dipolar ElectroCARdioTOpographic (DECARTO)-like method for graphic presentation of location and extent of area at risk estimated from ST-segment deviations in patients with acute myocardial infarction

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A graphic method was developed for presentation of the location and extent of the myocardium at risk in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). This method is based on a mathematical processing of ST-segment deviations of standard 12-lead electrocardiogram following the concept of Titomir and Ruttkay-Nedecky in their dipolar electrocardiotopographic method. The center of the location of the area at risk is given by the spatial orientation of the resultant spatial ST vector, and the extent of the area at risk is derived from the Aldrich score. The areas at risk are projected on a spherical image surface, on which a texture of the anatomical quadrants of the ventricular surface and its coronary artery supply are projected. The method was tested in 10 patients with AMI with single-vessel disease, including 6 patients with an occlusion in the proximal left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD), 3 patients with an occlusion in the right coronary artery, and one patient with occlusion in the left circumflex coronary artery. The estimated areas at risk were compared with myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography. Eight (80%) patients of 10 were correctly localized according to the Aldrich decision rules for the location of AMI. The areas at risk in patients with LAD occlusion correctly localized by the Aldrich score were situated in the anteroseptal and anterosuperior quadrants. In the inferior AMI group, the area at risk was localized in the posterolateral and inferior quadrants. The visual comparison with myocardial perfusion single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) showed best agreement in patients with LAD involvement. The initial testing showed that this method allows a graphic presentation of estimated area at risk using clinically defined diagnostic rules. The area at risk can be displayed in images that are familiar for clinicians and can be compared with or superimposed on results of other imaging methods used in cardiology. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc.

Where is the central terminal located? In search of understanding the use of the Wilson central terminal for production of 9 of the standard 12 electrocardiogram leads

- The aim of this study was to evaluate the understanding of the term central terminal (CT) and to consider the consequences of this level of understanding. A total of 150 questionnaires was distributed during the 30th International Congress of Electrocardiology 2003, Helsinki, Finland; 42 (28%) of the anonymous questionnaires returned were considered adequate for the purpose of this study. The questionnaire addressed the following areas of interest: (1) the location of the CT; (2) the location of the negative poles of unipolar leads; (3) the naming of the electrocardiogram lead groups; (4) the relationship between the leads and cardiac electrical views; and (5) impact on accuracy of clinical diagnosis. The findings revealed diversity in understanding the basic term, a shift in understanding the term CT to abstract/theoretical understanding, and gaps in understanding the concept of CT and the more recent theories of the cardiac electric field.

Double-Pionic Fusion of Nuclear Systems and the "ABC" Effect : Approaching a Puzzle by Exclusive and Kinematically Complete Measurements
- 2009

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The ABC effect-a puzzling low-mass enhancement in the pi pi invariant mass spectrum, first observed by Abashian, Booth, and Crowe-is well known from inclusive measurements of two-pion production in nuclear fusion reactions. Here we report on the first exclusive and kinematically complete measurements of the most basic double-pionic fusion reaction pn -> d pi(0)pi(0) at beam energies of 1.03 and 1.35 GeV. The measurements, which have been carried out at CELSIUS-WASA, reveal the ABC effect to be a (pi pi)(I=L=0) channel phenomenon associated with both a resonancelike energy dependence in the integral cross section and the formation of a Delta Delta system in the intermediate state. A corresponding simple s-channel resonance ansatz provides a surprisingly good description of the data.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The CELSIUS-WASA setup is used to measure the 3π0 decay of η mesons produced in pp interactions with beam kinetic energies of 1.36 and 1.45 GeV. The efficiency-corrected Dalitz plot and density distributions for this decay are shown, together with a fit of the quadratic slope parameter α yielding α = −0.026 ± 0.010(stat) ± 0.010(syst). This value is compared to recent experimental results and theoretical predictions.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A search for rare lepton decays of the eta meson was performed using the WASA detector at CELSIUS. Two candidates for double Dalitz decay eta -> e(+)e(-)e(+)e(-) events are reported with a background of 1.3 +/- 0.2 events. This allows to set an upper limit to the branching ratio of 9.7x10(-5) (90% CL). The branching ratio for the decay eta -> e(+)e(-)gamma is determined to (7.8 +/- 0.5(stat)+/- 0.8(syst))x10(-3) in agreement with world average value. An upper limit (90% CL) for the branching ratio for the eta -> e(+)e(-) decay is 2.7x10(-5) and a limit for the sum of the eta ->mu(+)mu(-)mu(+)mu(-) and eta ->pi(+)pi(-)mu(+)mu(-) decays is 3.6x10(-4).

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A search for rare lepton decays of the η meson was performed using the WASA detector at CELSIUS. Two candidates for double Dalitz decay η→e+e−e+e− events are reported with a background of 1.3±0.2 events. This allows to set an upper limit to the branching ratio of 9.7×10−5 η(90% CL). The branching ratio for the decay η→e+e−γ is determined to (7.8±0.5stat ±0.8syst)×10−3 in agreement with world average value. An upper limit (90% CL) for the branching ratio for the η→e+e− decay is 2.7 × 10−5 and a limit for the sum of the η→μ+μ−μ+μ− and η→π+π−μ+μ− decays is 3.6 × 10−4.
