Angiopoietin-2 and angiopoietin-like 4 protein provide prognostic information in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome
Aarsetøy, Reidun; Ueland, Thor; Aukrust, Pål; Michelsen, Annika E.; de la Fuente, Ricardo Leon; Pønitz, Volker; Andersen, Trygve Brugger; Grundt, Heidi; Staines, Harry; Nilsen, Dennis W.T. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Plasma levels of angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2) and angiopoietin-like 4 protein (ANGPTL4) reflect different pathophysiological aspects of cardiovascular disease. We evaluated their association with outcome in a ... -
B-type natriuretic peptide and high sensitive C-reactive protein predict 2-year all cause mortality in chest pain patients: a prospective observational study from Salta, Argentina
Fuente, Ricardo León de la; Næsgaard, Patrycja A.; Nilsen, Stein Tore; Woie, Leik; Aarsland, Torbjørn; Gallo, Patricio; Grundt, Heidi; Staines, Harry; Nilsen, Dennis W. T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-09-29)Background: Several mechanisms are involved in the pathophysiology of the Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). We have addressed whether B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in admission ... -
Borderline values of troponin-T and high sensitivityC-reactive protein did not predict 2-year mortality inTnTpositive chest-pain patients, whereas brain natriureticpeptide did
Nilsen, Dennis W.T.; Mjelva, Øistein; Leon de la Fuente, Ricardo; Næsgaard, Patrycja; Pønitz, Volker; Andersen, Trygve Brugger; Grundt, Heidi; Staines, Harry; Nilsen, Stein Tore (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04-08)Background: Troponin-T (TnT), high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) have been shown to be independent prognostic indicators of total and cardiac death during short- and long-term ... -
A history of late and very late stent thrombosis is not associated with increased activation of the contact system, a case control study
Pönitz, Volker; Govers-Riemslag, José W.; Cate, Hugo ten; Oerle, Rene van; Brügger-Andersen, Trygve; Grundt, Heidi; Næsgaard, Patrycja A.; Pritchard, David; Larsen, Alf Inge; Nilsen, Dennis W. T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-04-15)Background: The pathophysiological pathways resulting in Late Stent Thrombosis (LST) remain uncertain. Findings from animal studies indicate a role of the intrinsic coagulation pathway in arterial thrombus formation, while ... -

Næsgaard, Patrycja A.; Pønitz, Volker; Aarsetøy, Hildegunn; Andersen, Trygve Brugger; Grundt, Heidi; Harris, William S; Staines, Harry; Nilsen, Dennis W.T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)BACKGROUND: An inverse relationship between cardiovascular risk and levels of vitamin D and omega-3 index may exist. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the prognostic utility of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in 871 patients ... -
Re-admissions to hospital and patient satisfaction among patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease after telemedicine video consultation - a retrospective pilot study
Saleh, Safaa; Larsen, Jan Petter; Bergsåker-Aspøy, Johannes; Grundt, Heidi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-01-30)Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of acute hospital admissions. The main object of our study was to evaluate the effects of telemedicine video-consultation (TVC) on the frequency of ... -

Aarsetøy, Hildegunn; Grundt, Heidi; Nygård, Ottar; Nilsen, Dennis W.T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012)This paper reviews the current evidence regarding long-chained marine omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), their possible mechanisms of action, and results of clinical trials. Also, ... -
Vitamin D Uptake in Patients Treated with a High-Dosed Purified Omega-3 Compound in a Randomized Clinical Trial Following an Acute Myocardial Infarction
Næsgaard, Patrycja; Grundt, Heidi; Nordøy, Arne; Staines, Harry; Nilsen, Dennis W.T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07-24)Background: Fish is the natural dietary source of vitamin D.
