• Acute exhaustive aerobic exercise training impair cardiomyocyte function and calcium handling in Sprague-Dawley rats 

      Ljones, Kristine; Ness, Henning Ofstad; Solvang-Garten, Karin; Gaustad, Svein Erik; Høydal, Morten (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Introduction: Recent data from long-distance endurance participants suggest that cardiac function is impaired after completion. Existing data further indicate that right ventricular function is more affected than left ...
    • Cardiorespiratory Reference Data in Older Adults: The Generation 100 Study. 

      Stensvold, Dorthe; Bucher Sandbakk, Silvana; Viken, Hallgeir; Zisko, Nina; Reitlo, Line Skarsem; Nauman, Javaid; Gaustad, Svein Erik; Hassel, Erlend; Moufack, Marcel; Brønstad, Eivind; Aspvik, Nils Petter; Malmo, Vegard; Steinshamn, Sigurd Loe; Støylen, Asbjørn; Anderssen, Sigmund Alfred; Helbostad, Jorunn L.; Rognmo, Øivind; Wisløff, Ulrik (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Purpose: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is regarded a clinical vital sign, and accurate reference values for all age groups are essential. Little data exist on CRF and cardiorespiratory function in older adults. The aim ...
    • Cardiovascular changes in diving : from human response to cell function 

      Gaustad, Svein Erik (Doktoravhandlinger ved NTNU, 1503-8181; 2011:82, Doctoral thesis, 2011)
      Kardiovaskulære endringer under dykking: Fra menneskelig respons til cellulær funksjon. Menneskekroppen er evolusjonsmessig tilpasset et liv på land, men etter at dykking med komprimert luft ble allment tilgjengelig så ...
    • Continuous hemodynamic monitoring in an intact rat model of simulated diving 

      Gaustad, Svein Erik; Kondratyev, Timofey; Eftedal, Ingrid; Tveita, Torkjel (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Cardiovascular risk is elevated in divers, but detailed information of cardiac function during diving is missing. The aim of this study was to apply an intact rat model with continuous monitoring of cardiac left ventricular ...
    • Effects of cold decompression on hemodynamic function and DCS risk in a dry diving rat model 

      Gaustad, Svein Erik; Kondratyev, Timofey; Eftedal, Ingrid; Tveita, Torkjel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background: Diving in cold water is thought to increase the risk of decompression sickness (DCS), especially if the diver is cold during decompression. In this study, we investigated hemodynamic function and DCS risk in ...
    • Is dietary nitrate supplementation necessary to ensure proper endothelial function at altitude? 

      Bakker, Emily (Master thesis, 2014)
      Introduction: At altitude the body is exposed to systemic hypobaric hypoxia and adapts in order to optimize oxygen delivery to the tissue. Maintaining peripheral vascular function is essential in this process, tightly ...
