Association between gestational hypertension and risk of cardiovascular disease among 617 589 Norwegian women
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-05-13)Background: Preeclampsia and gestational hypertension (GH) are the most common hypertensive pregnancy disorders. Preeclampsia has been linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but a similar association for ... -
Association of body mass index with risk of acute myocardial infarction and mortality in Norwegian male and female patients with suspected stable angina pectoris: a prospective cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-21)Background: A number of previous studies have suggested that overweight or obese patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) may have lower morbidity and mortality than their leaner counterparts. Few studies have addressed ... -
Can the cardiovascular family history reported by our patients be trusted? The Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01)Background and purpose: Family history (FH) is used as a marker for inherited risk. Using FH for this purpose requires the FH to reflect true disease in the family. The aim was to analyse the concordance between young and ... -
Cost-effectiveness of medical primary prevention strategies to reduce absolute risk of cardiovascular disease in Tanzania: a Markov modelling study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-05-17)Background. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a growing cause of mortality and morbidity in Tanzania, but contextualized evidence on cost-effective medical strategies to prevent it is scarce. We aim to perform a cost-effectiveness ... -
Creatinine, total cysteine and uric acid are associated with serum retinol in patients with cardiovascular disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-09-09)Purpose: We hypothesized that biomarkers and dietary factors related to cardiovascular disease risk were associated with serum retinol and evaluated these potential associations in patients with suspected coronary artery ... -
Economic cost of primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases in Tanzania
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08-11)Tanzania is facing a double burden of disease, with non-communicable diseases being an increasingly important contributor. Evidence-based preventive measures are important to limit the growing financial burden. This article ... -
Equity impact analysis of medical approaches to cardiovascular diseases prevention in Tanzania
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-12)Primary medical prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) has received low priority in Tanzania, despite evidence of the rising prevalence of CVD risk factors. Different guidelines have been proposed for medical CVD ... -
Ethnic inequalities in acute myocardial infarction and stroke rates in Norway 1994-2009: a nationwide cohort study (CVDNOR)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-10-20)Background Immigrants to Norway from South Asia and Former Yugoslavia have high levels of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. Yet, the incidence of CVD among immigrants in Norway has never been studied. Our aim was ... -
Gender-related differences in cardiometabolic risk factors and lifestyle behaviors in treatment-seeking adolescents with severe obesity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02-14)Background: Obesity during adolescence is associated with cardiovascular mortality in adulthood. The adverse obesity-related cardiometabolic risk profile is already observed in adolescence. We aimed to examine possible ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-07-19)Background: The prognosis of unexplained chest pain patients provides valuable information for evaluation of health services. Objective: To examine prognosis of unexplained chest pain. Methods: Using data from in‐ and ... -
Incident coronary heart disease after Preeclampsia: Role of reduced fetal growth, preterm delivery, and parity
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Background: Preeclampsia is a severe pregnancy disorder often complicated by reduced fetal growth or preterm delivery and is associated with long‐term maternal morbidity and mortality. We aimed to assess the association ... -
Placental abruption and long-term maternal cardiovascular disease mortality: a population-based registry study in Norway and Sweden
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-05)Women with preeclamptic pregnancies have increased long-term cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. We explored this mortality risk among women with placental abruption, another placental pathology. We used linked Medical ... -
