Can the cardiovascular family history reported by our patients be trusted? The Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study
Øygarden, Halvor; Fromm, Annette; Sand, Kristin Modalsli; Eide, Geir Egil; Thomassen, Lars; Næss, Halvor; Waje-Andreassen, Ulrike (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-01)Background and purpose: Family history (FH) is used as a marker for inherited risk.

Saeed, Sahrai; Waje-Andreassen, Ulrike; Fromm, Annette; Øygarden, Halvor; Kokorina, Marina Victorovna; Næss, Halvor; Gerdts, Eva (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-11-18)Background: Ischemic stroke survivors have high risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality even at young age, suggesting that early arterial aging is common among such patients. Methods: We measured aortic stiffness ... -
A family history of stroke is associated with increased intima-media thickness in young ischemic Stroke - The norwegian stroke in the young study (NOR-SYS)
Øygarden, Halvor; Fromm, Annette; Sand, Kristin Modalsli; Kvistad, Christopher Elnan; Eide, Geir Egil; Thomassen, Lars; Næss, Halvor; Waje-Andreassen, Ulrike (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-08-09)Background and Purpose: Positive family history (FH+) of cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a risk factor for own CVD. We aimed to analyze the effect of different types of FH (stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD), peripheral ... -
Ischemic stroke and atherosclerosis at a young age. The Norwegian Stroke in the Young Study
Fromm, Annette (Doctoral thesis, 2014-01-31)Stroke risk and incidence increase exponentially with age. In Europe about one in three strokes occurs before the age of 65 years, with severe socioeconomic consequences on individual and society level. Despite improved ... -

The ... -
Persistent microembolic signals in the cerebral circulation on transcranial Doppler after intravenous sulfur hexafluoride microbubble infusion
Aarli, Sander Johan; Novotny, Vojtech; Thomassen, Lars; Kvistad, Christopher Elnan; Logallo, Nicola; Fromm, Annette (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-11-20)BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Microembolic signals (MES) are detectable by transcranial Doppler monitoring and associated with increased risk of first or recurrent ischemic stroke. MES detection can also illuminate stroke etiology ... -
