The antihypertensive MTHFR gene polymorphism rs17367504-G is a possible novel protective locus for preeclampsia
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01)Objective: Preeclampsia is a complex heterogeneous disease commonly defined by new-onset hypertension and proteinuria in pregnancy. Women experiencing preeclampsia have increased risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) later ... -
Associations of pregnancy-related factors and birth characteristics with risk of endometrial cancer: A Nordic population-based case-control study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Many pregnancy‐related factors are associated with reduced endometrial cancer risk. However, it remains unclear whether pregnancy‐related complications (e.g., hypertensive conditions) are associated with risk and whether ... -
Cardiac adaptation to hypertension in adult female Dahl salt-sensitive rats is dependent on ovarian function, but loss of ovarian function does not predict early maladaptation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-02-08)Aim of study was to examine experimentally the adult female hypertensive heart in order to determine the role of ovary function in the response of the heart to salt‐dependent hypertension. Dahl salt‐sensitive rats, age 12 ... -
Cod Residual Protein Prevented Blood Pressure Increase in Zucker fa/fa Rats, Possibly by Inhibiting Activities of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Renin
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-11-22)Hypertension is the leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and prevention of high blood pressure through diet and lifestyle should be a preferred approach. High intake of fish is associated with lower blood pressure, ... -
Contrast stress echocardiography in hypertensive heart disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-11-18)Hypertension is associated with atherosclerosis and cardiac and vascular structural and functional changes. Myocardial ischemia may arise in hypertension independent of coronary artery disease through an interaction between ... -
Deprescribing antihypertensive treatment in nursing home patients and the effect on blood pressure
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-04)Background: It is debatable whether treating multimorbid nursing home patients with antihypertensive drugs produces beneficial effects. Most cardiovascular guidelines promote treatment; few have advice on how to deprescribe ... -
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 ... -
Gingival overvekst ved bruk av kalsiumantagonister
(Master thesis, 2015-01-26)Drug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO) is a condition that may occur in susceptible patients taking systemic drugs for hypertension (calciumantagonists), immune suppressants (mainly cyclosporin) and anticonvulsants. DIGO ... -
Global left ventricular load in asymptomatic aortic stenosis: covariates and prognostic implication (the SEAS trial)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-11-05)Introduction: Valvuloarterial impedance (Zva) is a measure of global (combined valvular and arterial) load opposing left ventricular (LV) ejection in aortic stenosis (AS). The present study identified covariates and tested ... -
High-salt diet causes osmotic gradients and hyperosmolality in skin without affecting interstitial fluid and lymph
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-04)The common notion is that the body Na+ is maintained within narrow limits for fluid and blood pressure homeostasis. Several studies have, however, shown that considerable amounts of Na+ can be retained or removed from the ... -
In utero exposure to maternal tobacco smoke and subsequent obesity, hypertension, and gestational diabetes among women in the MoBa Cohort
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)Background: Environmental factors influencing the developmental origins of health and disease need to be identified and investigated. In utero exposure to tobacco smoke has been associated with obesity and a small increase ... -
Metabolic risk factors for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma: a prospective study of 580 000 subjects within the Me-Can project
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-02-18)Background: Obesity is associated with an increased risk of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) and a decreased risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). However, little is known about the risk of EAC and ESCC related ... -
Myocardial function in aortic stenosis - insights from radial multilayer Doppler strain
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-02-19)Background Left ventricular (LV) radial tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) strain increases gradually from the subepicardial to the subendocardial layer in healthy individuals. A speckle tracking echocardiography study suggested ... -
Preconception cardiovascular risk factor differences between gestational hypertension and preeclampsia: Cohort Norway study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Preconception predictors of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia may identify opportunities for early detection and improve our understanding of the pathogenesis and life course epidemiology of these conditions. Female ... -
Proteomic analysis of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded glomeruli suggests depletion of glomerular filtration barrier proteins in two-kidney one-clip hypertensive rats
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08-16)Background It is well known that hypertension may cause glomerular damage, but the molecular mechanisms involved are still incompletely understood. Methods In the present study, we used formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded ...
