      Background: Aortic valve calcification is an active proliferative process, where interstitial cells of the valve transform into either myofibroblasts or osteoblast-like cells causing valve deformation, thickening of cusps ...
    • Novel biomarkers of cardiovascular disease: Applications in clinical practice 

      Lyngbakken, Magnus; Myhre, Peder Langeland; Røsjø, Helge; Omland, Torbjørn (Critical reviews in clinical laboratory sciences;56(1), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-20)
      Measurement of biomarkers has revolutionized the work-up of patients with suspected cardiovascular disease. The most widely used contemporary cardiovascular biomarkers are the natriuretic peptides in the diagnosis and ...
    • Assay of steroids by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in monitoring 21-hydroxylase deficiency 

      Dahl, Sandra Rine; Nermoen, Ingrid; Brønstad, Ingeborg; Husebye, Eystein Sverre; Løvås, Kristian; Thorsby, Per Medbøe (Endocrine connections;7(12), Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018-12)
      Immunoassays of steroid hormones are still used in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia. However, cross-reactivity between steroids can give rise to falsely elevated steroid levels. ...
    • Plasma marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and cardiovascular risk factors: data from the ACE 1950 study 

      Chandra, Anupam; Røsjø, Helge; Eide, Ivar Anders; Vigen, Thea; Ihle-Hansen, Håkon; Orstad, Eivind Bjørkan; Rønning, Ole M; Lyngbakken, Magnus; Berge, Trygve; Schmidt, Erik Berg; Omland, Torbjørn; Tveit, Arnljot; Svensson, My Hanna Sofie (European journal of nutrition;, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-05-23)
      Abstract Purpose A high intake of marine n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) might improve cardiovascular (CV) health. We conducted a cross-sectional study to investigate associations between plasma phospholipid ...
    • Circulating microRNAs as predictive biomarkers of myocardial infarction: Evidence from the HUNT study 

      Velle-Forbord, Torbjørn; Eidlaug, Maria; Debik, Julia Barbara; Sæther, Julia Caroline; Follestad, Turid; Nauman, Javaid; Gigante, Bruna; Røsjø, Helge; Omland, Torbjørn; Langaas, Mette; Bye, Anja (Atherosclerosis;289, Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019-10)
