Contrast stress echocardiography in hypertensive heart disease
Lønnebakken, Mai Tone; Rieck, Åshild Elseth; Gerdts, Eva (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-11-18)Hypertension is associated with atherosclerosis and cardiac and vascular structural and functional changes. Myocardial ischemia may arise in hypertension independent of coronary artery disease through an interaction between ... -
Giant right ventricular outflow tract thrombus in hereditary spherocytosis: a case report
Davidsen, Cedric; Larsen, Terje H.; Gerdts, Eva; Lønnebakken, Mai Tone (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-04-26)Background: In hereditary spherocytosis with severe anemia, splenectomy is a recommended treatment. However, the spleen carries an important role both in immune function and coagulation. The increased risk of bacterial ... -
Global coronary artery plaque area is associated with myocardial hypoperfusion in women with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction
Eskerud, Ingeborg; Gerdts, Eva; Nordrehaug, Jan Erik; Lønnebakken, Mai Tone (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-05)Background: Women with non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) have similar extent of myocardial ischemia but less obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) than their male counterparts. We tested the impact of ... -
Global left ventricular load in asymptomatic aortic stenosis: covariates and prognostic implication (the SEAS trial)
Rieck, Åshild Elseth; Gerdts, Eva; Lønnebakken, Mai Tone; Bahlmann, Edda; Cioffi, Giovanni; Gohlke-Bärwolf, Christa; Ray, Simon; Cramariuc, Dana (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-11-05)Introduction: Valvuloarterial impedance (Zva) is a measure of global (combined valvular and arterial) load opposing left ventricular (LV) ejection in aortic stenosis (AS). The present study identified covariates and tested ... -
Impact of aortic stiffness on myocardial ischaemia in non-obstructive coronary artery disease
Lønnebakken, Mai Tone; Eskerud, Ingeborg; Larsen, Terje H; Midtbø, Helga Bergljot; Kokorina, Marina Victorovna; Gerdts, Eva (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Objective: High aortic stiffness may reduce myocardial perfusion pressure and contribute to development of myocardial ischaemia. Whether high aortic stiffness is associated with myocardial ischaemia in patients with stable ... -
Left ventricular hypertrophy contributes to Myocardial Ischemia in Non-obstructive Coronary Artery Disease (the MicroCAD study)
Eskerud, Ingeborg; Gerdts, Eva; Larsen, Terje H; Lønnebakken, Mai Tone (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: The underlying mechanisms causing myocardial ischemia in non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) are still unclear. We explored whether left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was associated with myocardial ... -
Masked hypertension in obesity: Potential predictors and arterial damage
Kenny, Isabel E.; Saeed, Sahrai; Gerdts, Eva; Midtbø, Helga Bergljot; Halland, Hilde; Lønnebakken, Mai Tone (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-02)Background: Masked hypertension (MHT), defined as normal office blood pressure (BP) but high ambulatory BP, has been associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Although MHT has been associated with obesity, there is ... -
Relation of Left Ventricular Mass to Prognosis in Initially Asymptomatic Mild to Moderate Aortic Valve Stenosis
Gerdts, Eva; Rossebø, Anne Bjørhovde; Pedersen, Terje Rolf; Cioffi, Giovanni; Lønnebakken, Mai Tone; Cramariuc, Dana; Rogge, Barbara; Devereux, Richard B (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Background—The prognostic importance of left ventricular (LV) mass in nonsevere asymptomatic aortic stenosis has not been documented in a large prospective study. Methods and Results—Cox regression analysis was used to ... -
Sex differences in cardiovascular outcome during progression of aortic valve stenosis
Cramariuc, Dana; Rogge, Barbara; Lønnebakken, Mai Tone; Boman, Kurt; Bahlmann, Edda; Gohlke-Bärwolf, Christa; Chambers, John B.; Pedersen, Terje Rolf; Gerdts, Eva (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)Objective: Women with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) have better LV systolic function and more concentric LV geometry than their male counterparts. However, sex differences in cardiovascular (CV) outcome during progression ...
