      There is no consensus on the definition of an exaggerated increase in systolic blood pressure (SBP) during exercise. The aim was to explore a potential threshold for exercise SBP associated with increased risk of coronary heart disease in healthy men using repeated exercise testing. Two thousand fourteen healthy white male employees were recruited into the Oslo Ischemia Study during early 1970s. At ...

      Ohm, Ole-Jørgen; Gjesdal, Knut; Rossvoll, Ole; Bugge, Einar; Berntsen, Rolf Frank; Vist, Gunn Elisabeth; Johansen, Marit; Norderhaug, Inger Natvig (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2006)
      Atrieflimmer er den hyppigst forekommende hjerterytmeforstyrrelse av klinisk betydning, og berører ca 45 000 pasienter i Norge. Medikamentell behandling gir tilfredsstillende effekt hos flertallet, men man må se etter alternativer for de som ikke tåler eller responderer på medikamenter. For disse kan kateterbehandling med bruk av for eksempel radiofrekvensablasjon være en mulighet. Radiofrekvensablasjon ...
