Serum Acylcarnitines and Risk of Cardiovascular Death and Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients With Stable Angina Pectoris
(Wiley, 2017-02)Background: Excess levels of serum acylcarnitines, which are intermediate products in metabolism, have been observed in metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, it is not known whether acylcarnitines ...Journal article -
Serum concentrations of active tamoxifen metabolites predict long-term survival in adjuvantly treated breast cancer patients
(BioMed Central, 2017-11-28)Background: Controversies exist as to whether the genetic polymorphisms of the enzymes responsible for the metabolism of tamoxifen can predict breast cancer outcome in patients using adjuvant tamoxifen. Direct measurement ...Journal article -
Sex differences in cardiovascular outcome during progression of aortic valve stenosis
(BMJ, 2015)Objective: Women with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) have better LV systolic function and more concentric LV geometry than their male counterparts. However, sex differences in cardiovascular (CV) outcome during progression ...Journal article -
