(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.
