    • Increased risk of atrial fibrillation among elderly Norwegian men with a history of long-term endurance sport practice 

      Myrstad, Marius; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Graff-Iversen, Sidsel; Gulsvik, Anne Kristine; Thelle, Dag Steinar; Stigum, Hein; Ranhoff, Anette Hylen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. The prevalence increases with increasing age. In middle-aged men, endurance sport practice is associated with increased risk of AF but there are few studies ...

    • Lipid Levels During Adult Lifetime in Men and Women With and Without a Subsequent Incident Myocardial Infarction: A Longitudinal Analysis of Data From the Tromsø Study 1974 to 2016 

      Albrektsen, Grethe; Wilsgaard, Tom; Heuch, Ivar; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Thelle, Dag Steinar; Njølstad, Inger; Grimsgaard, Sameline; Bønaa, Kaare Harald (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Background The atherosclerotic effect of an adverse lipid profile is assumed to accumulate throughout life, leading to increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Still, little is known about age at onset and duration ...

    • Long-term blood pressure trajectories and incident atrial fibrillation in women and men: the Tromsø Study 

      Sharashova, Ekaterina; Wilsgaard, Tom; Ball, Jocasta; Morseth, Bente; Gerdts, Eva; Hopstock, Laila Arnesdatter; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Schirmer, Henrik; Løchen, Maja-Lisa (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Aims: To explore sex-specific associations between long-term individual blood pressure (BP) patterns and risk of incident atrial fibrillation (AF) in the general population. Methods and results: Blood pressure was measured ...

    • The NORwegian atrial fibrillation self-SCREENing (NORSCREEN) trial: rationale and design of a randomized controlled trial 

      Boskovic, Miroslav; Jortveit, Jarle; Haraldsen, Marius Blørstad; Berge, Trygve; Engdahl, Johan; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Schuster, Peter Moritz; Sandberg, Edvard Liljedahl; Grimsmo, Jostein; Atar, Dan; Anfinsen, Ole-Gunnar; Pripp, Are Hugo; Grenne, Bjørnar Leangen; Halvorsen, Sigrun (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
