    • BEtablocker Treatment After acute Myocardial Infarction in revascularized patients without reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (BETAMI): Rationale and design of a prospective, randomized, open, blinded end point study 

      Munkhaugen, John; Ruddox, Vidar; Halvorsen, Sigrun; Dammen, Toril; Fagerland, Morten; Hernæs, Kjersti Helene; Vethe, Nils Tore; Prescott, Eva; Jensen, Svend Eggert; Rødevand, Olaf; Jortveit, Jarle; Bendz, Bjørn; Schirmer, Henrik; Kõber, Lars; Botker, Hans Erik; Larsen, Alf Inge; Vikenes, Kjell; Steigen, Terje; Wiseth, Rune; Pedersen, Terje Rolf; Edvardsen, Thor; Otterstad, Jan Erik; Atar, Dan (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-25)
      <p><i>Background - </i>Current guidelines on the use of β-blockers in post–acute myocardial infarction (MI) patients without reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) are based on studies before the implementation of modern reperfusion and secondary prevention therapies. It remains unknown whether β-blockers will reduce mortality and recurrent MI in contemporary revascularized post-MI patients ...

    • Cost-effectiveness of a rule-out algorithm of acute myocardial infarction in low-risk patients: emergency primary care versus hospital setting 

      Johannessen, Tonje Rambøll; Halvorsen, Sigrun; Atar, Dan; Munkhaugen, John; Nore, Anne Kathrine; Wisløff, Torbjørn; Vallersnes, Odd Martin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-10-21)
      Aims: Hospital admissions of patients with chest pain considered as low risk for acute coronary syndrome contribute to increased costs and crowding in the emergency departments. This study aims to estimate the cost-effectiveness of assessing these patients in a primary care emergency setting, using the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) 0/1-h algorithm for high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T, ...

    • Gender differences in association between uric acid and all-cause mortality in patients with chronic heart failure 

      Stubnova, Viera; Os, Ingrid; Høieggen, Aud; Solbu, Marit Dahl; Grundtvig, Morten; Westheim, Arne; Atar, Dan; Waldum-Grevbo, Bård (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-05)
      <p><i>Background - </i>Elevated serum uric acid (SUA) is associated with poor prognosis in patients with cardiovascular disease, yet it is still not decided whether the role of SUA is causal or only reflects an underlying disease. The purpose of the study was to investigate if SUA was an independent predictor of 5-year all-cause mortality in a propensity score matched cohort of chronic heart failure ...

    • The NORwegian atrial fibrillation self-SCREENing (NORSCREEN) trial: rationale and design of a randomized controlled trial 

      Boskovic, Miroslav; Jortveit, Jarle; Haraldsen, Marius Blørstad; Berge, Trygve; Engdahl, Johan; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Schuster, Peter Moritz; Sandberg, Edvard Liljedahl; Grimsmo, Jostein; Atar, Dan; Anfinsen, Ole-Gunnar; Pripp, Are Hugo; Grenne, Bjørnar Leangen; Halvorsen, Sigrun (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2024-09-09)
      Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia, and many cases of AF may be undiagnosed. Whether screening for AF and subsequent treatment if AF is detected can improve long-term outcome remains an unsettled question. The primary aim of the NORwegian atrial fibrillation self-SCREENing (NORSCREEN) trial is to assess whether self-screening for AF with continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) for 3–7 ...

    • Prediction of underlying atrial fibrillation in patients with a cryptogenic stroke: results from the NOR-FIB Study 

      Ratajczak-Tretel, Barbara; Lambert, Anna Tancin; Al-Ani, Riadh Ibrahim Mahmud; Arntzen, Kathrine Grønning; Bakkejord, Grete; Bekkeseth, Hanna Marie Otterholt; Bjerkeli, Vigdis; Eldøen, Guttorm; Gulsvik, Anne Kristine; Halvorsen, Bente; Høie, Gudrun; Ihle-Hansen, Hege Beathe; Ihle-Hansen, Håkon; Ingebrigtsen, Susanne; Kremer, C.; Krogseth, Siv Bohne; Kruuse, C.; Kurz, Martin; Nakstad, Ingvild; Novotny, Vojtech; Næss, Halvor; Qazi, Rehman Ul-Haq; Rezaj, M.K.; Rørholt, Dag Marius Nitschke; Steffensen, Linn Hofsøy; Sømark, Jesper Norsted; Tobro, Håkon; Truelsen, T.C.; Wassvik, L.; Ægidius, K.L.; Atar, Dan; Aamodt, Anne Hege (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-05-10)
      Background - Atrial fibrillation (AF) detection and treatment are key elements to reduce recurrence risk in cryptogenic stroke (CS) with underlying arrhythmia. The purpose of the present study was to assess the predictors of AF in CS and the utility of existing AF-predicting scores in The Nordic Atrial Fibrillation and Stroke (NOR-FIB) Study.<p> <p>Method - The NOR-FIB study was an international ...
