      Background - The extent of cardiac dysfunction post‐COVID‐19 varies, and there is a lack of data on arrhythmic burden. Methods and Results - This was a combined multicenter prospective cohort study and cross‐sectional ...
    • Changes in cardiac structure and function from 3 to 12 months after hospitalization for COVID-19 

      Øvrebotten, Tarjei; Myhre, Peder Langeland; Grimsmo, Jostein; Mecinaj, Albulena; Trebinjac, Divna; Nossen, Magnus Berger; Andrup, Simon Johan Mattias; Josefsen, Tony Andre; Einvik, Gunnar; Stavem, Knut; Omland, Torbjørn; Ingul, Charlotte Ingeborg Björk (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
    • Diagnostic Accuracy and Usability of the ECG247 Smart Heart Sensor Compared to Conventional Holter Technology 

      Sandberg, Edvard Liljedahl; Grenne, Bjørnar; Berge, Trygve; Grimsmo, Jostein; Atar, Dan; Halvorsen, Sigrun; Fensli, Rune Werner; Jortveit, Jarle (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background. Heart rhythm disorders, especially atrial fibrillation (AF), are increasing global health challenges. Conventional diagnostic tools for assessment of rhythm disorders suffer from limited availability, limited ...
    • Digital recruitment and compliance to treatment recommendations in the Norwegian Atrial Fibrillation self-screening pilot study 

      Sandberg, Edvard Liljedahl; Halvorsen, Sigrun; Berge, Trygve; Grimsmo, Jostein; Atar, Dan; Grenne, Bjørnar Leangen; Jortveit, Jarle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Aims: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is prevalent, undiagnosed in approximately one-third of cases, and is associated with severe complications. Guidelines recommend screening individuals at increased risk of stroke. This report ...
    • Fully digital self-screening for atrial fibrillation with patch electrocardiogram 

      Sandberg, Edvard Liljedahl; Halvorsen, Sigrun; Berge, Trygve; Grimsmo, Jostein; Atar, Dan; Fensli, Rune Werner; Grenne, Bjørnar Leangen; Jortveit, Jarle (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia worldwide. The AF is associated with severe mortality, morbidity, and healthcare costs, and guidelines recommend screening people at risk. However, screening ...
    • Home-Based Aerobic Interval Training Improves Peak Oxygen Uptake Equal to Residential Cardiac Rehabilitation: A Randomized, Controlled Trial 

      Moholdt, Trine Tegdan; Vold, Mona Bekken; Grimsmo, Jostein; Slørdahl, Stig Arild; Wisløff, Ulrik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      Aerobic capacity, measured as the peak oxygen uptake, is a strong predictor of survival in cardiac patients. Aerobic interval training (AIT), walking/running four times four minutes at 85–95% of peak heart rate, has proven ...
    • The NORwegian atrial fibrillation self-SCREENing (NORSCREEN) trial: rationale and design of a randomized controlled trial 

      Boskovic, Miroslav; Jortveit, Jarle; Haraldsen, Marius Blørstad; Berge, Trygve; Engdahl, Johan; Løchen, Maja-Lisa; Schuster, Peter Moritz; Sandberg, Edvard Liljedahl; Grimsmo, Jostein; Atar, Dan; Anfinsen, Ole-Gunnar; Pripp, Are Hugo; Grenne, Bjørnar Leangen; Halvorsen, Sigrun (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2024)
      Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia, and many cases of AF may be undiagnosed. Whether screening for AF and subsequent treatment if AF is detected can improve long-term outcome remains an unsettled question. ...
    • Screening for Atrial Fibrillation by Digital Health Technology in Older People in Homecare Settings: A Feasibility Trial 

      Sandberg, Edvard Liljedahl; Halvorsen, Sigrun; Berge, Trygve; Grimsmo, Jostein; Atar, Dan; Grenne, Bjørnar Leangen; Jortveit, Jarle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)
      Aims: Users of homecare services are often excluded from clinical trials due to advanced age, multimorbidity, and frailty. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common and frequently undiagnosed arrhythmia in the elderly and is ...
    • Trajectory of cardiac troponin T following moderate-to-severe COVID-19 and the association with cardiac abnormalities
