Journal ArticleDOI
Noninvasive myocardial strain measurement by speckle tracking echocardiography: validation against sonomicrometry and tagged magnetic resonance imaging.
Brage H. Amundsen,Thomas Helle-Valle,Thor Edvardsen,Hans Torp,Jonas Crosby,Erik Lyseggen,Asbjørn Støylen,Halfdan Ihlen,Joao A.C. Lima,Otto A. Smiseth,Stig A. Slørdahl +10 more
TL;DR: Speckle tracking echocardiography provides accurate and angle-independent measurements of LV dimensions and strains and has potential to become a clinical bedside tool for quantifying myocardial strain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerobic interval training versus continuous moderate exercise after coronary artery bypass surgery: a randomized study of cardiovascular effects and quality of life.
Trine Moholdt,Brage H. Amundsen,L.A. Rustad,Alexander Wahba,Kjersti Taarnesvik Lovo,Lisbeth Rossing Gullikstad,Anja Bye,Eirik Skogvoll,Ulrik Wisløff,Stig A. Slørdahl +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the effects of AIT versus MCT on peak oxygen uptake (Vo(2peak) in cardiac patients and found that AIT was more effective than MCT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of a single dose of the interleukin-6 receptor antagonist tocilizumab on inflammation and troponin T release in patients with non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase 2 trial.
Ola Kleveland,Gabor Kunszt,Gabor Kunszt,Marte Bratlie,Marte Bratlie,Thor Ueland,Kaspar Broch,Kaspar Broch,Espen Holte,Annika E. Michelsen,Annika E. Michelsen,Bjørn Bendz,Brage H. Amundsen,Terje Espevik,Svend Aakhus,Svend Aakhus,Jan Kristian Damås,Pål Aukrust,Pål Aukrust,Rune Wiseth,Lars Gullestad +20 more
TL;DR: Tocilizumab attenuated the inflammatory response and primarily PCI-related TnT release in NSTEMI patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerobic interval training increases peak oxygen uptake more than usual care exercise training in myocardial infarction patients: a randomized controlled study:
Trine Moholdt,Inger-Lise Aamot,Ingrid Granøien,Lisbeth Gjerde,Gitte Myklebust,Liv Walderhaug,Line Brattbakk,Torstein Hole,Torbjørn Graven,Tomas Stølen,Brage H. Amundsen,Harald Edvard Mølmen-Hansen,Asbjørn Støylen,Ulrik Wisløff,Stig A. Slørdahl +14 more
TL;DR: AIT increased peak oxygen uptake more than the usual care rehabilitation provided to MI patients by Norwegian hospitals and reduced serum ferritin and resting heart rate and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol increased only after AIT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerobic Interval Training Reduces the Burden of Atrial Fibrillation in the Short Term: A Randomized Trial.
Vegard Malmo,Bjarne M. Nes,Brage H. Amundsen,A.E. Tjonna,Asbjørn Støylen,Ole Rossvoll,Ulrik Wisløff,Jan Pål Loennechen +7 more
TL;DR: AIT for 12 weeks reduces the time in AF in patients with nonpermanent AF and is followed by a significant improvement in AF symptoms, O2peak, left atrial and ventricular function, lipid levels, and QoL.
