Clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients with heart failure and high concentrations of interleukin-17D
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Aims Heart failure (HF) is associated with cytokine activation and inflammation. Experimental evidence suggests that plasma interleukin-17 (IL-17) is associated with myocardial fibrosis and cardiac dysfunction in HF. ... -
High dose statin treatment reduces circulating Dickkopf-1 following acute myocardial infarction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Background Secreted glycoproteins of the Dickkopf (DKK) family modify Wnt signaling and may influence plaque destabilization but their modulation by statins in MI patients is not known. Methods We measured plasma DKK-1 ... -
Left ventricular hypertrophy contributes to Myocardial Ischemia in Non-obstructive Coronary Artery Disease (the MicroCAD study)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: The underlying mechanisms causing myocardial ischemia in non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) are still unclear. We explored whether left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was associated with myocardial ... -
Race duration and blood pressure are major predictors of exercise-induced cardiac troponin elevation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: The underlying mechanisms of the exercise-induced increase in cardiac troponins (cTn) are poorly understood. The aim of this study was to identify independent determinants of exercise-induced cTn increase in a ... -
Repetitive use of levosimendan for treatment of chronic advanced heart failure: Clinical evidence, practical considerations, and perspectives: An expert panel consensus
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-06-15)Background The intravenous inodilator levosimendan was developed for the treatment of patients with acutely decompensated heart failure. In the last decade scientific and clinical interest has arisen for its repetitive or ... -
Transsulfuration metabolites and the association with incident atrial fibrillation – An observational cohort study among Norwegian patients with stable angina pectoris
(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 ...
