Comparison of left versus right atrial myocardium in patients with sinus rhythm or atrial fibrillation - an assessment of mitochondrial function and microRNA expression.
Slagsvold, Katrine Hordnes; Johnsen, Anne Berit; Rognmo, Øivind; Høydal, Morten; Wisløff, Ulrik; Wahba, Alexander (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Several of the cellular alterations involved in atrial fibrillation (AF) may be linked to mitochondrial function and altered microRNA (miR) expression. A majority of studies on human myocardium involve right atrial (RA) ... -
Evaluating Phase of Care Mortality Analysis and Failure to Rescue in a Norwegian Cardiothoracic Surgery Clinic
Smenes, Benedikte Therese (Master thesis, 2017)Background: Publication of patient care data has long been practiced in the cardiothoracic surgical environment, but traditional endpoints such as surgeon specific mortality data have been criticized and there has been a ... -
