Few studies have addressed ... -
Dietary intake of n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and risk of myocardial infarction in coronary artery disease patients with or without diabetes mellitus: a prospective cohort study
Strand, Elin; Pedersen, Eva Kristine Ringdal; Svingen, Gard Frodahl Tveitevåg; Schartum-Hansen, Hall; Rebnord, Eirik Wilberg; Bjørndal, Bodil; Seifert, Reinhard; Bohov, Pavol; Meyer, Klaus; Hiltunen, J.

T.; Berge, Rolf Kristian; Nygård, Ottar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2013-10-08)Background: A beneficial effect of a high n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LCPUFA) intake has been observed in heart failure patients, who are frequently insulin resistant. We investigated the potential influence ... -
Glycated hemoglobin and long-term prognosis in patients with suspected stable angina pectoris without diabetes mellitus: A prospective cohort study
Rebnord, Eirik Wilberg; Pedersen, Eva Kristine Ringdal; Strand, Elin; Svingen, Gard Frodahl Tveitevåg; Meyer, Klaus; Schartum-Hansen, Hall; Løland, Kjetil Halvorsen; Seifert, Reinhard; Ueland, Per Magne; Nilsen, Dennis W.

Bjørnestad, Espen Øglænd; Borsholm, Robert Andre; Svingen, Gard Frodahl Tveitevåg; Pedersen, Eva Ringdal; Seifert, Reinhard; Midttun, Øivind; Ueland, Per Magne; Tell, Grethe S.; Bønaa, Kaare Harald; Nygård, Ottar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-10)Background: Plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) is related to plasma neopterin, an indicator of interferon‐γ‐mediated immune activation, and both biomarkers positively predict cardiovascular risk. We examined whether the ... -
