    • Abdominal aortic aneurysms, or a relatively large diameter of non-aneurysmal aortas, increase total and cardiovascular mortality: the Tromsø study. 

      Forsdahl, Signe Helene; Solberg, Steinar; Singh, Kulbir; Jacobsen, Bjarne Koster (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2010)
      Background: In a population-based study in Tromsø, Norway, the authors assessed whether an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) or the maximal infrarenal aortic diameter in a non-aneurismal aorta influence total and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Methods: A total of 6640 men and women, aged 25–84 years, were included in a 10-year mortality follow-up: 345 subjects with a diagnosed AAA and ...

    • Cardiac troponin I and T for ruling out coronary artery disease in suspected chronic coronary syndrome 

      Tveit, Sjur Hansen; Myhre, Peder Langeland; Hanssen, Tove Aminda; Forsdahl, Signe Helene; Iqbal, Amjid; Omland, Torbjørn; Schirmer, Henrik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-01-18)
      To compare the performance of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin I and T (hs-cTnI; hs-cTnT) in diagnosing obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD<sub>50</sub>) in patients with suspected chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). A total of 706 patients with suspected CCS, referred for Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography, were included. cTn concentrations were measured using the Singulex hs-cTnI ...

    • Low pain tolerance is associated with coronary angiography, coronary artery disease, and mortality: The TROMSO study 

      Fladseth, Kristina; Lindekleiv, Haakon; Nielsen, Christopher Sivert; Øhrn, Andrea; Kristensen, Andreas; Mannsverk, Jan Torbjørn; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Njølstad, Inger; Wilsgaard, Tom; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Stubhaug, Audun; Trovik, Thor; Rotevatn, Svein; Forsdahl, Signe Helene; Schirmer, Henrik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11-03)
      BACKGROUND: The initial presentation to coronary angiography and extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) vary greatly among patients, from ischemia with no obstructive CAD to myocardial infarction with 3-vessel disease. Pain tolerance has been suggested as a potential mechanism for the variation in presentation of CAD. We aimed to investigate the association between pain tolerance, coronary ...

    • Outcomes after coronary angiography for unstable angina compared to stable angina, myocardial infarction and an asymptomatic general population 

      Fladseth, Kristina; Wilsgaard, Tom; Lindekleiv, Haakon; Kristensen, Andreas; Mannsverk, Jan Torbjørn; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Njølstad, Inger; Mathiesen, Ellisiv B.; Trovik, Thor; Rotevatn, Svein; Forsdahl, Signe Helene; Schirmer, Henrik (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-07-31)
      Background: The outcomes of real-world unstable angina (UA) in the high-sensitivity troponin era are unclear. We aimed to investigate the outcomes of UA referred to coronary angiography compared to stable angina (SA), nonST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), STEMI and a general population.<p> <p>Methods: We included the 9,694 patients with no prior coronary artery disease (CAD) ...
