Activated factor XI-antithrombin complex presenting as an independent predictor of 30-days mortality in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients
Aarsetøy, Reidun; ten Cate, Hugo; Spronk, Henri; Van Oerle, Rene; Aarsetøy, Hildegunn; Staines, Harry; Nilsen, Dennis W.T. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) are associated with activated coagulation and microvascular fibrin deposition with subsequent multiorgan failure and adverse outcome. Objectives Activated ... -
Low Levels of the Omega-3 Index are Associated with Sudden Cardiac Arrest and Remain Stable in Survivors in the Subacute Phase
Aarsetøy, Hildegunn; Aarsetøy, Reidun; Lindner, Thomas Werner; Staines, Harry; Harris, William S.; Nilsen, Dennis W. T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-01-14)In previous studies, low blood levels of n-3 fatty acids (FA) have been associated with increased risk of cardiac death, and the omega-3 index (red blood cell (RBC) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) ... -
N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide as a prognostic indicator for 30-day mortality following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A prospective observational study
Aarsetøy, Reidun; Omland, Torbjørn; Røsjø, Helge; Strand, Heidi; Lindner, Thomas Werner; Aarsetøy, Hildegunn; Staines, Harry; Nilsen, Dennis W.T. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-24)Background Early risk stratification applying cardiac biomarkers may prove useful in sudden cardiac arrest patients. We investigated the prognostic utility of early-on levels of high sensitivity cardiac troponin-T (hs-cTnT), ... -
