Angiopoietin-2 and angiopoietin-like 4 protein provide prognostic information in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome
Aarsetøy, Reidun; Ueland, Thor; Aukrust, Pål; Michelsen, Annika E.; de la Fuente, Ricardo Leon; Pønitz, Volker; Andersen, Trygve Brugger; Grundt, Heidi; Staines, Harry; Nilsen, Dennis W.T. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Plasma levels of angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2) and angiopoietin-like 4 protein (ANGPTL4) reflect different pathophysiological aspects of cardiovascular disease. We evaluated their association with outcome in a ... -
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 ... -
Complement component 7 is associated with total- and cardiac death in chest-pain patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome
Aarsetøy, Reidun; Ueland, Thor; Aukrust, Pål; Michelsen, Annika Elisabet; Leon de la Fuente, Ricardo; Grundt, Magnea Heidi Jonsdottir; Staines, Harry; Nygård, Ottar Kjell; Nilsen, Dennis W.T. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background Complement activation has been associated with atherosclerosis, atherosclerotic plaque destabilization and increased risk of cardiovascular events. Complement component 7 (CC7) binds to the C5bC6 complex which ... -
Low Levels of the Omega-3 Index are Associated with Sudden Cardiac Arrest and Remain Stable in Survivors in the Subacute Phase
Aarsetøy, Hildegunn; Aarsetøy, Reidun; Lindner, Thomas Werner; Staines, Harry; Harris, William S.; Nilsen, Dennis W. T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-01-14)In previous studies, low blood levels of n-3 fatty acids (FA) have been associated with increased risk of cardiac death, and the omega-3 index (red blood cell (RBC) eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) ... -
N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide as a prognostic indicator for 30-day mortality following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest: A prospective observational study
Aarsetøy, Reidun; Omland, Torbjørn; Røsjø, Helge; Strand, Heidi; Lindner, Thomas Werner; Aarsetøy, Hildegunn; Staines, Harry; Nilsen, Dennis W.T. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-08-24)Background Early risk stratification applying cardiac biomarkers may prove useful in sudden cardiac arrest patients. We investigated the prognostic utility of early-on levels of high sensitivity cardiac troponin-T (hs-cTnT), ... -
