Antirheumatic therapy is associated with reduced complement activation in rheumatoid arthritis
Nguyen, Thao; Hokstad, Ingrid; Fagerland, Morten; Mollnes, Tom Eirik; Hollan, Ivana; Feinberg, Mark W.; Hjeltnes, Gunnbjørg; Eilertsen, Gro Østli; Mikkelsen, Knut; Agewall, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Background The complement system plays an important role in pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and might be involved in accelerated atherogenesis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The role of complement activation ... -
Antirheumatic therapy is not associated with changes in circulating N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide levels in patients with autoimmune arthritis
Nguyen, Thao H.P.; Fagerland, Morten; Deyab, Gia; Hjeltnes, Gunnbjørg; Hollan, Ivana; Feinberg, Mark W.; Eilertsen, Gro Østli; Mikkelsen, Knut; Agewall, Stefan (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Background: Patients with autoimmune arthritis (AA) are at increased risk for impaired cardiac function and heart failure. This may be partly due to the effect of inflammation in heart function. The impact of antirheumatic ... -

Effects of Antirheumatic Treatment on Cell Cholesterol Efflux and Loading Capacity of Serum Lipoproteins in Spondylarthropathies
Hokstad, Ingrid; Greco, Daniela; Deyab, Gia; Fagerland, Morten; Agewall, Stefan; Hjeltnes, Gunnbjørg; Zimetti, Francesca; Bernini, Franco; Ronda, Nicoletta; Hollan, Ivana (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Spondyloarthropathies (SpA) are associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Among possible mechanisms is the dysfunction of serum lipoproteins in regulating cell cholesterol homeostasis. Cholesterol efflux capacity ... -
High-sensitivity cardiac troponin T is associated with disease activity in patients with inflammatory arthritis
Nguyen, Thao; Fagerland, Morten; Hollan, Ivana; Whist, Jon Elling; Feinberg, Mark W.; Agewall, Stefan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Objective To investigate whether high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hsTnT) correlates to markers of disease activity in inflammatory arthritis (IA), and whether antirheumatic treatment influences hsTnT levels. Methods We ... -
Inflammatory cell infiltrates in the heart of patients with coronary artery disease with and without inflammatory rheumatic disease: A biopsy study
Andersen, Jacqueline Kirsti; Oma, Ingvild; Prayson, Richard A.; Kveldstad, Ingjerd Lien; Almdahl, Sven Martin; Fagerland, Morten; Hollan, Ivana (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Background The cause of premature cardiovascular disease (CVD) in inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs) has not been fully elucidated.
