Automatic Estimation of Coronary Blood Flow Velocity Step 1 for Developing a Tool to Diagnose Patients With Micro-Vascular Angina Pectoris
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019-01-22)Aim: Our aim was to automatically estimate the blood velocity in coronary arteries using cine X-ray angiographic sequence. Estimating the coronary blood velocity is a key approach in investigating patients with angina ... -
Endothelial cells in emerging viral infections
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-24)There are several reasons to consider the role of endothelial cells in COVID-19 and other emerging viral infections. First, severe cases of COVID-19 show a common breakdown of central vascular functions. Second, SARS-CoV-2 ... -
Estimating cardiac output from coronary CT angiography: an individualized compartment model in comparison to the Stewart–Hamilton method
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: Attenuation is correlated with the concentration of contrast medium (CM) in the arteries. The cardiac output (CO) affects the concentration of CM in the circulatory system; therefore, CO affects the time–density ... -
Podocan and Adverse Clinical Outcome in Patients Admitted With Suspected Acute Coronary Syndromes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background: Markers of bone and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling may be associated with adverse outcomes in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Podocan is a newly discovered ECM glycoprotein, previously not studied ... -
Procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide is associated with adverse outcome in acute chest pain of suspected coronary origin
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: Extracellular matrix (ECM) is an integral player in the pathophysiology of a variety of cardiac diseases. Cardiac ECM is composed mainly of collagen, of which type 1 is the most abundant with procollagen type ... -
Systolic myocardial function measured by echocardiographic speckle-tracking and peak oxygen consumption in pediatric childhood cancer survivors—a PACCS study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background: Cancer therapy-related cardiotoxicity is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity in childhood cancer survivors. The aims of this study were to investigate systolic myocardial function and its association to ... -
Thawing plateau time indicating the duration of phase transition from ice to water is the strongest predictor for long-term durable pulmonary vein isolation after cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation—Data from the index and repeat procedures
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Introduction: This study aimed to clarify the relationship between the durability of pulmonary vein (PV) isolation and the time of phase transition from ice to water indicated by thawing plateau time in a cryoballoon ... -
Vitamin D Uptake in Patients Treated with a High-Dosed Purified Omega-3 Compound in a Randomized Clinical Trial Following an Acute Myocardial Infarction
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017-07-24)Background: Fish is the natural dietary source of vitamin D. Reports on the influence of purified omega-3 fatty acids on its uptake are scarce. Objectives: We investigated the impact of a purified high-dose omega-3 compound ...
