Lind V, Lundman P, Friberg L, Talback M, Hammar N, Walldius G, et al.
Heart . 2025 Feb; PMID: 39915078
Background: Aortic stenosis is a degenerative condition with high mortality in its severe stages and no preventive treatment. While diabetes is a known risk factor, the role of elevated glucose...

Kemp Gudmundsdottir K, Svennberg E, Friberg L, Hygrell T, Frykman V, Al-Khalili F, et al.
Circulation . 2024 Sep; 150(23):1837-1846. PMID: 39217615
Background: Guidelines have suggested screening for atrial fibrillation to enable early treatment and avoid downstream negative clinical events. We aimed to determine whether atrial fibrillation screening potentially enhanced by NT-proBNP...

Akerstrom F, Charitakis E, Paul-Nordin A, Braunschweig F, Friberg L, Tabrizi F, et al.
Heart Rhythm . 2024 Apr; 21(9):1487-1492. PMID: 38604586
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with the development of dementia, and observational studies have shown that oral anticoagulation and catheter ablation reduce dementia risk. However, such studies did not...

Brobert G, Ruigomez A, Schink T, Voss A, Herings R, Smits E, et al.
BMJ Open . 2024 Mar; 14(3):e081348. PMID: 38531587
Objectives: To describe opportunities and challenges experienced from the four pharmacoepidemiological database studies included in the rivaroxaban post authorisation safety study (PASS) programme and propose ways to maximise the value...

Akerstrom F, Hutter J, Charitakis E, Tabrizi F, Asaad F, Bastani H, et al.
Heart . 2023 Sep; 110(3):163-169. PMID: 37657914
Objective: Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation effectively reduces symptomatic burden. However, its long-term effect on mortality and stroke is unclear. We investigated if patients with atrial fibrillation who undergo catheter...

Lyth J, Svennberg E, Bernfort L, Aronsson M, Frykman V, Al-Khalili F, et al.
Eur Heart J . 2022 Nov; 44(3):196-204. PMID: 36349968
Aims: Previous studies on the cost-effectiveness of screening for atrial fibrillation (AF) are based on assumptions of long-term clinical effects. The STROKESTOP study, which randomised 27 975 persons aged 75/76...

Scorza R, Jonsson M, Friberg L, Rosenqvist M, Frykman V
Europace . 2022 Oct; 25(2):517-525. PMID: 36261245
Aims: Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are a common form of arrhythmia associated with an unfavourable prognosis in patients with structural heart disease. However, the prognostic significance in absence of heart...

Eur J Prev Cardiol . 2022 May; 29(13):1759-1769. PMID: 35580601
Aims: To compare prognosis between individuals without diabetes, type 1 and type 2 diabetes in a nationwide atrial fibrillation cohort in Sweden and study the significance of severe hypoglycaemia. Methods:...

Circulation . 2022 Jan; 145(5):392-409. PMID: 35100023
Growing evidence suggests a consistent association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and cognitive impairment and dementia that is independent of clinical stroke. This report from the AF-SCREEN International Collaboration summarizes the...
