Aerobic high-intensity interval exercise training in patients with angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease: feasibility and physiological effects
Larsen, Alf Inge; Sæland, Charlotte; Vegsundvåg, Johnny Åge; Skadberg, Mette Storebø; Nilsen, Jorunn; Butt, Noreen; Ushakova, Anastasia; Valborgland, Torstein; Munk, Peter Scott; Isaksen, Kjetil (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Aims Patients with chest pain and normal coronary angiogram [angina with normal coronary arteries (ANOCA)] constitute a therapeutic problem with considerable functional limitation and reduced quality of life. The aims ... -
Blood Lactate AUC Is a Sensitive Test for Evaluating the Effect of Exercise Training on Functional Work Capacity in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure
Valborgland, Torstein; Isaksen, Kjetil; Munk, Peter Scott; Larsen, Alf Inge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Purpose. Exercise training is an essential treatment option for patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). However, it remains controversial, which surrogate measures of functional work capacity are most reliable. The ... -
Effects of interval training on inflammatory biomarkers in patients with ischemic heart failure
Isaksen, Kjetil; Halvorsen, Bente; Munk, Peter Scott; Aukrust, Pål; Larsen, Alf Inge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Objectives. Exercise training has been proposed to have anti-inflammatory effects. We examined whether aerobic interval training (AIT) can attenuate the inflammatory response in ischemic heart failure (HF) as measured by ... -
High-intensity Interval Training after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. A randomized controlled study evaluating the effect of exercise training on late luminal loss with relationship to inflammation and endothelial function
Munk, Peter Scott (Doctoral thesis, 2010-10-22)Introduction: In spite of consistent scientific documentation of the beneficial effects of exercise training programs in coronary artery disease (CAD), exercise training is a remarkably underutilized (1) and probably also ... -
Pentraxin 3 in primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST elevation myocardial infarction is associated with early irreversible myocardial damage: Kinetic profile, relationship to interleukin 6 and infarct size
Butt, Noreen; Bache-Mathiesen, Lena Kristin; Ushakova, Anastasia; Nordrehaug, Jan Erik; Jensen, Senn-Erik; Munk, Peter Scott; Danchin, N; Dubois-Rande, Jean-Luc; Hansen, HS; Paganelli, F; Le Corvoisier, P; Firat, H; Erlinge, David; Atar, Dan; Larsen, Alf Inge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Background: The inflammatory marker long pentraxin 3 (PTX3) has been shown to be a strong predictor of 30-day and one-year mortality after acute myocardial infarction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the kinetic ... -
Plasma tumour necrosis factor correlates with mRNA expression of tumour necrosis factor and mitochondrial transcription factors in skeletal muscle in patients with chronic heart failure treated with cardiac resynchronization therapy: potential role in myopathy
Larsen, Alf Inge; Valborgland, Torstein; Ogne, Christer; Lindal, Sigurd; Halvorsen, Bente; Munk, Peter Scott; Kvaløy, Jan Terje; Aukrust, Pål; Yndestad, Arne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Chronic heart failure (CHF) is characterized by inflammation and skeletal muscle myopathy, including impaired fibre type distribution and reduced capillary density, reduced cytochrome oxidase activity and reduced mitochondrial ...
