• 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 ...
    • Grading of Aortic Stenosis: Is it More Complicated in Women? 

      Cramariuc, Dana; Bahlmann, Edda; Gerdts, Eva (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease and the main indication for valvular replacement in older women. Correct AS grading is mandatory for an adequate selection of patients for both surgical and ...
    • Low myocardial energetic efficiency is associated with increased mortality in aortic stenosis 

      Bahlmann, Edda; Einarsen, Eigir; Cramariuc, Dana; Midtbø, Helga Bergljot; Mancusi, Costatino; Rossebø, Anne Bjørhovde; Willems, Stephan; Gerdts, Eva (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Objectives In hypertension, low myocardial energetic efficiency (MEEi) has been documented as an integrated marker of metabolic and left ventricular (LV) myocardial dysfunction. We tested the predictive performance of MEEi ...
    • New Evidence About Aortic Valve Stenosis and Cardiovascular Hemodynamics 

      Mancusi, Costantino; Bahlmann, Edda; Basile, Christian; Gerdts, Eva (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common degenerative valvular disease in western word. In patients with severe AS, small changes in aortic valve area can lead to large changes in hemodynamics. The correct understanding of ...
    • 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 ...
    • Sex differences in cardiovascular outcome during progression of aortic valve stenosis 

      Cramariuc, Dana; Rogge, Barbara; Lønnebakken, Mai Tone; Boman, Kurt; Bahlmann, Edda; Gohlke-Bärwolf, Christa; Chambers, John B.; Pedersen, Terje Rolf; Gerdts, Eva (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)
      Objective: Women with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) have better LV systolic function and more concentric LV geometry than their male counterparts. However, sex differences in cardiovascular (CV) outcome during progression ...
