Circulating trimethyllysine and risk of acute myocardial infarction in patients with suspected stable coronary heart disease
Bjørnestad, Espen Ø.; Olset, Hilde; Dhar, Indu; Løland, Kjetil Halvorsen; Pedersen, Eva Ringdal; Svingen, Gard Frodahl Tveitevåg; Svardal, Asbjørn M.; Berge, Rolf K; Ueland, Per Magne; Tell, Grethe S.; Nilsen, Dennis W.T.; Jan E., Nordrehaug; Nygaard, Ellisif; Nygård, Ottar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background The carnitine precursor trimethyllysine (TML) is associated with progression of atherosclerosis, possibly through a relationship with trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO). Riboflavin is a cofactor in TMAO synthesis. ... -
Epicardial adipose tissue volume, plaque vulnerability and myocardial ischemia in non-obstructive coronary artery disease
Khan, Ingela; Berge, Caroline Annette; Eskerud, Ingeborg; Larsen, Terje Hjalmar; Pedersen, Eva Ringdal; Lønnebakken, Mai Tone (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) accumulation has been associated with inflammation, atherosclerosis and microvascular dysfunction. Whether increased EAT volume is associated with coronary plaque vulnerability ... -
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 ... -
Physical activity and risk of all-cause mortality in patients with stable angina pectoris: Effect modification by β-blocker treatment
Dhar, Indu; Svingen, Gard Frodahl Tveitevåg; Pedersen, Eva Ringdal; Ulvik, Arve; Bjørnestad, Espen Øglænd; Dankel, Simon N; Mellgren, Gunnar; Nygård, Ottar Kjell (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background Physical activity (PA) influences sympathetic stimulation, platelet activation as well as vascular function, and has been associated with improved health outcomes in patients with coronary heart disease. β-blocker ... -
Prognosis in asymptomatic patients with discordantly graded aortic valve stenosis based on pressure recovery adjusted valve area
Bahlmann, Edda; Einarsen, Eigir; Cramariuc, Dana; Pedersen, Eva Ringdal; Rossebø, Anne Bjørhovde; Midtbø, Helga Bergljot; Willems, Stephan; Gerdts, Eva (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Objective: We hypothesised that patients with asymptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) who remain with discordantly graded aortic valve stenosis (DGAS) after adjustment for pressure recovery in the aortic root represents a subgroup ... -
Relationship between hypertension and nonobstructive coronary artery disease in chronic coronary syndrome (the NORIC registry)
Berge, Caroline A.; Eskerud, Ingeborg; Almeland, Elise Botnevik; Larsen, Terje Hjalmar; Pedersen, Eva Ringdal; Rotevatn, Svein; Lønnebakken, Mai Tone (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background The burden of non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in the society is high, and there is currently limited evidence-based recommendation for risk stratification and treatment. Previous studies have ... -
Systemic Cardiac Troponin T Associated With Incident Atrial Fibrillation Among Patients With Suspected Stable Angina Pectoris
Vavik, Vegard; Pedersen, Eva Ringdal; Svingen, Gard Frodahl Tveitevåg; Solheim, Eivind; Aakre, Kristin Moberg; Tell, Grethe S.; Nygård, Ottar; Vikenes, Kjell (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Higher concentrations of cardiac troponin T are associated with coronary artery disease (CAD) and adverse cardiovascular prognosis. The relation with incident atrial fibrillation (AF) is less explored. We studied this ... -
Transsulfuration metabolites and the association with incident atrial fibrillation – An observational cohort study among Norwegian patients with stable angina pectoris
Svenningsson, Mads Malm; Svingen, Gard Frodahl Tveitevåg; Lysne, Vegard; Ueland, Per Magne; Tell, Grethe S.; Pedersen, Eva Ringdal; Dhar, Indu; Nilsen, Dennis W.T.; Nygård, Ottar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background/aim Plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) is elevated in patients with persistent vs. paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), and has been related to increased risk of new-onset AF. Homocysteine is degraded to cystathionine ... -
Use of loop diuretics is associated with increased mortality in patients with suspected coronary artery disease, but without systolic heart failure or renal impairment: an observational study using propensity score matching
Schartum-Hansen, Hall; Løland, Kjetil Halvorsen; Svingen, Gard Frodahl Tveitevåg; Seifert, Reinhard; Pedersen, Eva Ringdal; Nordrehaug, Jan Erik; Bleie, Øyvind; Ebbing, Marta; Berge, Christ; Nilsen, Dennis W.T.; Nygård, Ottar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-06-01)Background Loop diuretics are widely used in patients with heart and renal failure, as well as to treat hypertension and peripheral edema. However, there are no randomized, controlled trials (RCT) evaluating their long ...
