This dissertation explores the sex differences in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and the effects of exercise interventions. It focuses on understanding the proteomic differences in atherosclerotic plaques between men and women, highlighting that men tend to develop plaques with greater inflammation and vulnerability, while women show a more stable plaque phenotype. The study also evaluates the impact of resistance training on women, demonstrating potential benefits in reducing CVD risk factors such as iron levels, lipids, and inflammation. The research aims to provide insights into the biological differences in CVD development and suggests exercise as a preventive strategy, particularly in women.

This medical dissertation by Elin Good investigates the biology of arterial plaques and their responses to risk management strategies. It focuses on the use of advanced imaging techniques, such as MRI and PET, to analyze plaque composition and inflammation. The research highlights deficiencies in current risk management practices for patients with high-grade carotid stenosis and proposes new methods for improving patient outcomes. The author aims to enhance understanding of plaque biology and develop quantitative imaging techniques to better assess and manage cardiovascular risks. The intended audience includes medical researchers and healthcare professionals specializing in cardiovascular diseases.
