Cardiovascular risk markers in aortic valve stenosis : Insights in peak systolic left ventricular function, ejection dynamics and obesity
Einarsen, Eigir (Doctoral thesis, 2020-12-04)Background: Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease requiring valvular intervention. With no pharmacological treatment available, optimal management requires detection of early left ventricular ... -
Impact of aortic valve stenosis on myocardial deformation in different left ventricular levels: A three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography study
Hjertaas, Johannes Just; Einarsen, Eigir; Gerdts, Eva; Kokorina, Marina Victorovna; Moen, Christian Arvei; Urheim, Stig; Saeed, Sahrai; Matre, Knut (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: Global systolic left ventricular (LV) myocardial function progressively declines as degenerative aortic valve stenosis (AS) progresses. Whether this results in uniformly distributed deformation changes from ... -
Impact of arterio–ventricular interaction on first-phase ejection fraction in aortic stenosis
Einarsen, Eigir; Hjertaas, Johannes Just; Gu, Haotian; Matre, Knut; Chowienczyk, Philip J.; Gerdts, Eva; Chambers, John B.; Saeed, Sahrai (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Aims: First-phase ejection fraction (EF1), the EF at the time to peak aortic jet velocity, has been proposed as a novel marker of peak systolic function in aortic stenosis (AS). This study aimed to explore the association ... -
Low myocardial energetic efficiency is associated with increased mortality in aortic stenosis
Bahlmann, Edda; Einarsen, Eigir; Cramariuc, Dana; Midtbø, Helga Bergljot; Mancusi, Costatino; Rossebø, Anne Bjørhovde; Willems, Stephan; Gerdts, Eva (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Objectives In hypertension, low myocardial energetic efficiency (MEEi) has been documented as an integrated marker of metabolic and left ventricular (LV) myocardial dysfunction. We tested the predictive performance of MEEi ... -
Myocardial Work in Middle-Aged Adults with Overweight and Obesity: Associations with Sex and Central Arterial Stiffness
Lindseth, Katrine Tryti; Gerdts, Eva; Midtbø, Helga Bergljot; Pristaj, Nadia; Cramariuc, Dana; Einarsen, Eigir (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We explored global myocardial work index (GWI), a novel measure of myocardial function that integrates left ventricular (LV) hemodynamic load, in relation to sex and increased body mass index (BMI). We used data from 467 ... -
Prognosis in asymptomatic patients with discordantly graded aortic valve stenosis based on pressure recovery adjusted valve area
Bahlmann, Edda; Einarsen, Eigir; Cramariuc, Dana; Pedersen, Eva Ringdal; Rossebø, Anne Bjørhovde; Midtbø, Helga Bergljot; Willems, Stephan; Gerdts, Eva (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objective: We hypothesised that patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) who remain with discordantly graded aortic valve stenosis (DGAS) after adjustment for pressure recovery in the aortic root represents a subgroup ...
