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 ... -
Maternal angiotensinogen (AGT) haplotypes, fetal renin (REN) haplotypes and risk of preeclampsia; estimation of gene-gene interaction from family-triad data
Vefring, Hege K.; Wee, Line; Jugessur, Astanand; Gjessing, Håkon K.; Nilsen, Stein Tore; Lie, Rolv Terje (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2010-06-10)Background Preeclampsia is a debilitating disorder affecting approximately 3% of pregnant women in the Western world. Although inconclusive, current evidence suggests that the renin-angiotensin system may be involved in ... -
Serum 25(OH)D Is a 2-Year Predictor of All-Cause Mortality, Cardiac Death and Sudden Cardiac Death in Chest Pain Patients from Northern Argentina
Næsgaard, Patrycja A.; Fuente, Ricardo León de la; Nilsen, Stein Tore; Woie, Leik; Aarsland, Torbjørn; Brede, Cato; Staines, Harry; Nilsen, Dennis W. T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-09-06)Background: Several studies have shown an association between vitamin D deficiency and cardiovascular risk. Vitamin D status is assessed by determination of 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in serum. Methods: We assessed the ... -

Fuente, Ricardo León de la; Næsgaard, Patrycja A.; Nilsen, Stein Tore; Woie, Leik; Aarsland, Torbjørn; Staines, Harry; Nilsen, Dennis W. T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013) -
Vitamin D predicts all-cause and cardiac mortality in females with suspected acute coronary syndrome: a comparison with brain natriuretic peptide and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein
Næsgaard, Patrycja; Fuente, Ricardo León de la; Nilsen, Stein Tore; Woie, Leik; Årsland, Torbjørn; Staines, Harry; Nilsen, Dennis W.T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013)Vitamin D may not only reflect disease but may also serve as a prognostic indicator. Our aim was to assess the gender-specific utility of vitamin D measured as 25-hydroxy-vitamin D [25(OH)D] to predict all-cause and cardiac ...
