Project:
Echocardiographic stratification of patients with acute coronary syndrome
Supervisors:
Helge Skulstad, Thor Edvardsen (co-supervisor)
Collaborators:
Svend Aakhus, Otto A. Smiseth
Aim:
Assessment of echocardiographic techniques for stratification of patients with NSTEMI/UAP with regards to extent of coronary pathology and effect of revascularisation
Methods:
Echocardiographic examination pre and post PCI, after 3 months and 1 years, MRI after 3 months
