Arterial Stiffness in Overweight and Obesity: Association with Sex, Age, and Blood Pressure
Eikås, John Glad; Gerdts, Eva; Halland, Hilde; Midtbø, Helga Bergljot; Cramariuc, Dana; Kringeland, Ester Anne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction: Obesity has been associated with increased arterial stiffness. Sex-differences in arterial stiffness in obesity have been less explored. Aim: To explore sex-differences in arterial stiffness by applanation ... -
Association of myocardial energetic efficiency with circumferential and longitudinal left ventricular myocardial function in subjects with increased body mass index (The FATCOR study)
Mancusi, Costantino; Midtbø, Helga Bergljot; De Luca, Nicola; Halland, Hilde; de Simone, Giovanni; Gerdts, Eva (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Lower myocardial mechanic-energetic efficiency (MEEi), expressed as stroke volume/heart rate ratio (SV/HR) in mL/s/g of the left ventricular (LV) mass, is associated with the incidence of heart failure in subjects with ... -
Covariables of Myocardial Function in Women and Men with Increased Body Mass Index
Pristaj, Nadia; Saeed, Sahrai; Midtbø, Helga Bergljot; Halland, Hilde; Matre, Knut; Gerdts, Eva (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Introduction Sex-difference in types of cardiac organ damage has been reported in subjects with increased body mass index (BMI). However less is known about sex-differences in left ventricular (LV) myocardial function ... -
Fitness in fatness : Associations with cardiovascular risk factors and subclinical disease
Halland, Hilde (Doctoral thesis, 2019-05-24)Background: Fitness may influence cardiovascular (CV) health in obesity. We explored the impact of fitness on CV risk factors and prevalent subclinical CV disease in overweight and obese women and men without known CV ... -
Masked hypertension in obesity: Potential predictors and arterial damage
Kenny, Isabel E.; Saeed, Sahrai; Gerdts, Eva; Midtbø, Helga Bergljot; Halland, Hilde; Lønnebakken, Mai Tone (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-02)Background: Masked hypertension (MHT), defined as normal office blood pressure (BP) but high ambulatory BP, has been associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Although MHT has been associated with obesity, there is ...
