JACC Cardiovasc Imaging . 2022 Jun; 15(6):1046-1058. PMID: 35680213
Background: The influence of extensive coronary calcifications on the diagnostic and prognostic value of coronary computed tomography angiography-derived fractional flow reserve (FFR) has been scantily investigated. Objectives: The purpose of...

BMC Nephrol . 2013 Dec; 14:267. PMID: 24299462
Background: Renal dysfunction is associated with a variety of cardiac alterations including left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, LV dilation, and reduction in systolic and diastolic function. It is common and associated...

BMC Cardiovasc Disord . 2012 Apr; 12:30. PMID: 22533520
Background: Hypertension is a common comorbidity in patients with heart failure and may contribute to development and course of disease, but the importance of a history of hypertension in patients...

Iversen K, Kjaergaard J, Akkan D, Kober L, Torp-Pedersen C, Hassager C, et al.
Eur J Heart Fail . 2010 Apr; 12(7):685-91. PMID: 20395261
Aims: The purpose of the present study was to determine the prognostic importance for all-cause mortality of lung function variables obtained by spirometry in an unselected group of patients admitted...

Raunso J, Moller J, Kjaergaard J, Akkan D, Hassager C, Torp-Pedersen C, et al.
Am Heart J . 2009 Dec; 158(6):983-8. PMID: 19958865
Background: Restrictive diastolic filling pattern is associated with increased mortality in patients with myocardial infarction and heart failure. Most studies have excluded patients with atrial fibrillation. The aim of the...

Kjaergaard J, Iversen K, Akkan D, Moller J, Kober L, Torp-Pedersen C, et al.
Cardiovasc Ultrasound . 2009 Nov; 7:51. PMID: 19889228
Introduction: Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion (TAPSE) has independent prognostic value in heart failure patients but may be influenced by left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction. The present study assessed the...

Akkan D, Kjaergaard J, Moller J, Hassager C, Torp-Pedersen C, Kober L
Eur J Heart Fail . 2008 Jun; 10(7):689-95. PMID: 18579440
Aims: A restrictive transmitral filling (RF) pattern predicts increased mortality in heart failure (HF) with reduced left ventricular (LV) systolic function. We performed a combined evaluation of LV function and...

Torp-Pedersen C, Kober L, Carlsen J, Akkan D, Bruun N, Dacoronias D, et al.
Eur J Heart Fail . 2008 Jan; 10(1):89-95. PMID: 18164245
Background: By pre-synaptic stimulation of DA(2)-dopaminergic and alpha(2)-adrenergic receptors, nolomirole inhibits norepinephrine secretion from sympathetic nerve endings. We performed a clinical study with nolomirole in patients with heart failure (HF)....

Eur J Heart Fail . 2007 Apr; 9(6-7):610-6. PMID: 17462946
Background: The prognostic importance of right ventricular (RV) dysfunction in heart failure (HF) has been suggested in patients with severe systolic heart failure. Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) is...

Am J Cardiol . 2007 Apr; 99(8):1146-50. PMID: 17437745
Pulmonary hypertension is a well-known complication in heart failure, but its prognostic importance is less well established. This study assessed the risk associated with pulmonary hypertension in patients with heart...
