Plasma tumour necrosis factor correlates with mRNA expression of tumour necrosis factor and mitochondrial transcription factors in skeletal muscle in patients with chronic heart failure treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy: potential role in myopathy
Larsen, Alf Inge; Valborgland, Torstein; Ogne, Christer; Lindal, Sigurd; Halvorsen, Bente; Munk, Peter Scott; Kvaløy, Jan Terje; Aukrust, Pål; Yndestad, Arne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Chronic heart failure (CHF) is characterized by inflammation and skeletal muscle myopathy, including impaired fibre type distribution and reduced capillary density, reduced cytochrome oxidase activity and reduced mitochondrial ... -
Post resuscitation care – some words of caution and a call for action
Søreide, Eldar; Larsen, Alf Inge (Journal article, 2015-11-04)This fall the European Resuscitation Council (ERC) and the European Cardiology Society (ESC) publish updated post resuscitation care guidelines. For these guidelines to have an impact they must be implemented into daily ... -
