• The Homeostatic Chemokine CCL21 Predicts Mortality and May Play a Pathogenic Role in Heart Failure 

      Yndestad, Arne; Finsen, Alexandra Vanessa; Ueland, Thor; Husberg, Cathrine; Dahl, Christen P.; Dickstein, Kenneth (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2012-03-12)
      Background: CCL19 and CCL21, acting through CCR7, are termed homeostatic chemokines. Based on their role in concerting immunological responses and their proposed involvement in tissue remodeling, we hypothesized that these ...
    • Left ventricular ejection fraction and adjudicated, cause-specific hospitalizations after myocardial infarction complicated by heart failure or left ventricular dysfunction 

      Hall, Trygve Sørdahl; von Lueder, Thomas Gero; Zannad, Faïez; Rossignol, Patrick; Duarte, Kévin; Chouihed, Tahar; Solomon, Scott D.; Dickstein, Kenneth; Atar, Dan; Agewall, Stefan; Girerd, Nicolas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Background: Reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after acute myocardial infarction (MI) increases risk of cardiovascular (CV) hospitalizations, but evidence regarding its association with non-CV outcome is ...
    • The patient perspective: Quality of life in advanced heart failure with frequent hospitalisations

      End of life is an unfortunate but inevitable phase of the heart failure patients' journey. It is often preceded by a stage in the progression of heart failure defined as advanced heart failure, and characterised by poor ...
    • Upgrades from Previous Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices Compared to De Novo Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Implantations: Results from CRT Survey-II in the Turkish Population 

      Koçyiğit, Duygu; Sarıgül, Nedim Umutay; Altın, Timuçin; Çay, Serkan; Normand, Camilla Jacqueline Hansine; Linde, Cecilia; Dickstein, Kenneth (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Objective: Cardiac resynchronization therapy is the guideline-directed treatment option in selected heart failure with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction patients. Data regarding the contemporary clinical practice ...
