Impact of incident myocardial infarction on the risk of venous thromboembolism: the Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-05-10)
Background: Recent studies have demonstrated an association between venous thromboembolism (VTE) and arterial thrombotic diseases.
<p> Objectives: We aimed to study the association between incident myocardial infarction (MI) and VTE in a prospective population-based cohort.
<p> Methods: Study participants (n=29 506) were recruited from three surveys of the Tromsø Study (conducted in 1994-95, 2001-02 ...
Blood pressure target achievement and antihypertensive medication use in women and men after first-ever myocardial infarction: the Tromsø Study 1994-2016
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-03)
Background: <br>
Recurrent cardiovascular events after
myocardial infarction (MI) are frequent,
and gender
differences in blood pressure treatment have been
reported. Despite increased focus on secondary
prevention, recent reports indicate that treatment targets
are not achieved. There is a need for gender-specific
analyses of post-MI blood pressure treatment target
achievement and ...
Impact of Chronic Inflammation, Assessed by hs-CRP, on the Association between Red Cell Distribution Width and Arterial Cardiovascular Disease: The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-04-10)
Red cell distribution width (RDW), a measure of variability in size of circulating
erythrocytes, is associated with arterial cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the
underlying mechanism remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the impact of
chronic inflammation as measured by high sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) on this
relationship, and explore whether RDW could be a mediator in the causal pathway
between ...
Cardiovascular health and the modifiable burden of incident myocardial infarction: The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-03-06)
Background: The American Heart Association has proposed an impact goal for the year 2020 to improve
cardiovascular health by 20%. The objectives of the study were to assess the association between the proposed
cardiovascular health metric score and incident myocardial infarction (MI) and to estimate the generalized impact
fraction (GIF).
<p>Methods: The health metric score was derived from ideal ...
Atrial fibrillation and future risk of venous thromboembolism:the Tromsø study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Genetic variations in the Vitamin D receptor predict type 2 diabetes and myocardial infarction in a community-based population: The tromsø study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-12-23)
Background
Though the associations between low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels and
health outcomes such as type 2 diabetes (T2D), myocardial infarction (MI), cancer, and
mortality are well-studied, the effect of supplementation with vitamin D is uncertain. This
may be related to genetic differences. Thus, rs7968585, a single nucleotide polymorphism
(SNP) of the vitamin D receptor ...
N-Acetyl-β-D-Glucosaminidase Does Not Enhance Prediction of Cardiovascular or All-Cause Mortality by Albuminuria in a Low-Risk Population
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-06-05)
Albuminuria is a well known risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality, but focus on renal tubular dysfunction as a potential risk factor is growing also. The association between the urinary activity of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and cardiovascular risk has been assessed mostly in cross-sectional studies. We studied the cross-sectional associations between urinary NAG and cardiovascular ...
Red Cell Distribution Width Is Associated With Incident Myocardial Infarction in a General Population: The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
Venous thromboembolism increases the risk of atrial fibrillation: The tromsø study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)
The phosphodiesterase 8B gene rs4704397 is associated with thyroid function, risk of myocardial infarction and body height. The Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
Objective: High serum thyrotropin (TSH) levels predict cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recently several single
nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with TSH levels have been identified, one of them being the
rs4704397 SNP in the phosphodiesterase 8B (PDE8B) gene. If the relation between thyroid function and CVD is
causal, one could also expect rs4704397 genotypes to predict CVD and possibly ...
