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 ... -

Even chained acylcarnitines predict long-term cardiovascular prognosis in patients with chest pain and non-obstructive coronary artery disease
Storesund, Silje Kjellevold; Karaji, Iman; Strand, Elin; Svardal, Asbjørn M.; Lønnebakken, Mai Tone; Berge, Rolf Kristian; Svingen, Gard Frodahl Tveitevåg; Nygård, Ottar Kjell; Pedersen, Eva Ringdal (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Acylcarnitines are essential for mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. Earlier studies suggest that impaired energy metabolism may be implicated in the pathogenesis of microvascular angina. We explored metabolites ... -
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 ... -

Bianchini, Elisabetta; Lønnebakken, Mai Tone; Wohlfahrt, Peter; Piskin, Senol; Terentes-Printzios, Dimitrios; Alastruey, Jordi; Guala, Andrea (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography allow the characterization of arterial state and function with high confidence and thus play a key role in the understanding of arterial aging and its translation into the ... -
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 ... -
