      We used sleep monitoring data from a study that investigated the prevalence, characteristics, risk factors and type of sleep apnea (SA) in 579 patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Most patients were screened for ...
    • Continuous positive airway pressure in cluster headache: A randomized, placebo-controlled, triple-blind, crossover study 

      Gravdahl, Gøril Bruvik; Aakerøy, Lars; Stovner, Lars Jacob; Engstrøm, Morten; Müller, Kai Ivar; Bjørk, Marte-Helene; Tronvik, Erling Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Abstract Background Oxygen inhalation aborts cluster headache attacks, and case reports show the effect of continuous positive airway pressure. The aim of this study was to investigate the prophylactic effect of continuous ...
    • Effect of continuous positive airway pressure therapy on recurrence of atrial fibrillation after pulmonary vein isolation in patients with obstructive sleep apnea: A randomized controlled trial 

      Hunt, Tove Elizabeth Frances; Traaen, Gunn Marit; Aakerøy, Lars; Bendz, Christina; Øverland, Britt; Akre, Harriet; Steinshamn, Sigurd Loe; Loennechen, Jan Pål; Hegbom, Finn; Broch, Kaspar; Lie, Øyvind Haugen; Lyseggen, Erik; Haugaa, Kristina Ingrid Helena Hermann; Gullestad, Lars; Anfinsen, Ole-Gunnar (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF). Whether treatment with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces AF recurrence after catheter ablation with pulmonary vein ...
    • High-intensity interval training and pulmonary hemodynamics in COPD with hypoxemia 

      Aakerøy, Lars; Nørstebø, Ester Alfer; Thomas, Karen Marie; Holte, Espen; Hegbom, Knut; Brønstad, Eivind; Steinshamn, Sigurd Loe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background Exercise is recommended for all patients with COPD. Evidence for its benefit is considerably weaker in the more severe stages of the disease. The aim of this study was to investigate whether high-intensity ...
    • Identification of exercise-regulated genes in mice exposed to cigarette smoke 

      Aakerøy, Lars; Cheng, Chew W.; Sustova, Pavla; Scrimgeour, Nathan Robert; Wahl, Sissel Gyrid Freim; Steinshamn, Sigurd Loe; Bowen, T Scott; Brønstad, Eivind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Cigarette smoke (CS) is the major risk factor for COPD and is linked to cardiopulmonary dysfunction. Exercise training as part of pulmonary rehabilitation is recommended for all COPD patients. It has several physiological ...
    • My Health Sensor, my Classifier – Adapting a Trained Classifier to Unlabeled End-User Data 

      Nikolaidis, Konstantinos; Kristiansen, Stein; Plagemann, Thomas Peter; Goebel, Vera Hermine; Liestøl, Knut; Kankanhalli, Mohan; Traaen, Gunn Marit; Øverland, Britt; Akre, Harriet; Aakerøy, Lars; Steinshamn, Sigurd Loe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Sleep apnea is a common yet severely under-diagnosed sleep related disorder. Unattended sleep monitoring at home with low-cost sensors can be leveraged for condition detection, and Machine Learning offers a generalized ...
    • Prevalence, risk factors, and type of sleep apnea in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation 

      Traaen, Gunn Marit; Øverland, Britt; Aakerøy, Lars; Hunt, Tove Elizabeth Frances; Bendz, Christina; Leif Magne, Sande; Aakhus, Svend; Zare, Hasse Khiabani; Steinshamn, Sigurd Loe; Anfinsen, Ole-Gunnar; Loennechen, Jan Pål; Gullestad, Lars; Akre, Harriet (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Background Recent studies have suggested an association between sleep apnea (SA) and atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to study the prevalence, characteristics, risk factors and type of sleep apnea (SA) in ablation ...
    • Treatment of sleep apnea in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation: design and rationale of a randomized controlled trial 

      Traaen, Gunn Marit; Aakerøy, Lars; Hunt, Tove Elisabeth F.; Øverland, Britt; Lyseggen, Erik; Aukrust, Pål; Ueland, Thor; Helle-Valle, Thomas Michael; Steinshamn, Sigurd Loe; Edvardsen, Thor; Zare, Hasse Khiabani; Aakhus, Svend; Akre, Harriet; Anfinsen, Ole-Gunnar; Loennechen, Jan Pål; Gullestad, Lars (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Rationale. Atrial fibrillation is associated with increased mortality as well as morbidity. There is strong evidence for an association between atrial fibrillation and sleep apnea. It is not known whether treatment of sleep ...
