Sex-Specific Associations between Blood Pressure and Risk of Atrial Fibrillation Subtypes in the Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-05)
The aim of this study was to explore sex-specific associations between systolic blood pressure (SBP), hypertension, and the risk of incident atrial fibrillation (AF) subtypes, including paroxysmal, persistent, and permanent AF, in a general population. A total of 13,137 women and 11,667 men who participated in the fourth survey of the Tromsø Study (1994–1995) were followed up for incident AF until ...
Atrial fibrillation, venous thromboembolism, ischemic stroke, and all-cause mortality: The Tromsø study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-07-06)
Background
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with increased risk of ischemic stroke and all‐cause mortality. Patients with AF are also at increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), but information on how AF impacts VTE‐related mortality is scarce.
Objectives - To investigate the impact of AF on all‐cause mortality in subjects with and without a thromboembolic event (VTE or ischemic ...
Hypothetical interventions and risk of myocardial infarction in a general population: application of the parametric g-formula in a longitudinal cohort study-the Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-24)
