      Tennøe, Anders; Murbræch, Klaus; Andreassen, Johanna; Fretheim, Håvard Halland; Garen, Torhild Oddveig; Gude, Einar; Andreassen, Arne K.; Aakhus, Svend; Molberg, Øyvind; Hoffmann-Vold, Anna-Maria (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Background Primary cardiac affection is common and is a major cause of death in systemic sclerosis (SSc), but there are knowledge gaps regarding the effect of cardiac dysfunction on mortality. Objectives The purpose ...
    • Systolic dysfunction in systemic sclerosis: Prevalence and prognostic implications 

      Tennøe, Anders H; Murbraech, Klaus; Andreassen, Johanna; Fretheim, Håvard Halland; Midtvedt, Øyvind; Garen, Torhild Oddveig; Dalen, Håvard; Gude, Einar; Andreassen, Arne K.; Aakhus, Svend; Molberg, Øyvind; Hoffmann-Vold, Anna-Maria (Journal article, 2019)
      Objective Primary cardiac involvement is presumed to account for a substantial part of disease‐related mortality in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Still, there are knowledge gaps on the evolution and total burden of systolic ...
    • Wnt5a is associated with right ventricular dysfunction and adverse outcome in dilated cardiomyopathy 

      Abraityte, Judita Aurelija; Lunde, Ida Gjervold; Askevold, Erik Tandberg; Michelsen, Annika; Christensen, Geir Arve; Aukrust, Pål; Yndestad, Arne; Fiane, Arnt E; Andreassen, Arne K.; Aakhus, Svend; Dahl, Christen Peder; Gullestad, Lars; Broch, Kaspar; Ueland, Thor (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      The Wingless (Wnt) pathway has been implicated in the pathogenesis of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). To explore the role of Wnt modulators Wnt5a and sFRP3 in DCM patients we analyzed the expression of Wnt5a and sFRP3 in ...
