Association of body mass index with risk of acute myocardial infarction and mortality in Norwegian male and female patients with suspected stable angina pectoris: a prospective cohort study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-05-21)Background: A number of previous studies have suggested that overweight or obese patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) may have lower morbidity and mortality than their leaner counterparts. Few studies have addressed ... -
Choice of generic antihypertensive drugs for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease - A cost-effectiveness analysis
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-04-04)Background: Hypertension is one of the leading causes of cardiovascular disease (CVD). A range of antihypertensive drugs exists, and their prices vary widely mainly due to patent rights. The objective of this study was to ... -
Complement component 7 is associated with total- and cardiac death in chest-pain patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome
(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 ... -
Kinetics of 2 different high-sensitive troponins during targeted temperature management in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients with acute myocardial infarction: a post hoc sub-study of a randomised clinical trial
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Introduction Short term hypothermia has been suggested to have cardio protective properties in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) by reducing infarct size as assessed by troponins. There are limited data on the kinetics ... -
Myocardial function including estimates of myocardial work in young adults born very preterm or with extremely low birthweight - a cohort study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Preterm birth and low birthweight have been associated with increased risk of heart failure and cardiovascular disease in young adulthood. However, results from clinical studies of myocardial function are not ... -
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
(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), ...
