Point-of-care examinations using handheld ultrasound devices performed by intensive care nurses in a cardiac intensive care unit
Sorensen M, Oterhals K, Ponitz V, Morken I
Eur J Cardiovasc Nurs . 2022 Sep; 22(5):482-488. PMID: 36149811
Aims: Having nurses to perform point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) when physically examining patients to assess for early signs of decompensation and fluid overload has been proven to be feasible, provide extra...

Angiopoietin-2 and angiopoietin-like 4 protein provide prognostic information in patients with suspected acute coronary syndrome
Aarsetoy R, Ueland T, Aukrust P, Michelsen A, Leon de la Fuente R, Ponitz V, et al.
J Intern Med . 2021 Jul; 290(4):894-909. PMID: 34237166
Background: Plasma levels of angiopoietin-2 (ANGPT2) and angiopoietin-like 4 protein (ANGPTL4) reflect different pathophysiological aspects of cardiovascular disease. We evaluated their association with outcome in a hospitalized Norwegian patient cohort...

87-year-old woman with improved pulmonary function following accidental long-term inhalation therapy with dabigatran
Ponitz V, Evensen K
BMJ Case Rep . 2018 Sep; 2018. PMID: 30232203
Accidental long-term dabigatran etexilate inhalation was associated with subtherapeutic dabigatran serum concentrations in an elderly female patient with restrictive lung disease. A significant improvement in her pulmonary function was noted...

The prognostic utility of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) in patients with acute coronary heart disease
Nilsen D, Aarsetoey H, Ponitz V, Brugger-Andersen T, Staines H, Harris W, et al.
Int J Cardiol . 2017 Oct; 249:12-17. PMID: 28986060
Background: We previously investigated the prognostic utility of red blood cell (RBC) n-3 fatty acids (FAs) in survivors of an acute myocardial syndrome (ACS) but found no relationship with all-cause...

Suggested Cut-Off Values for Vitamin D as a Risk Marker for Total and Cardiac Death in Patients with Suspected Acute Coronary Syndrome
Naesgaard P, Leon De La Fuente R, Nilsen S, Ponitz V, Brugger-Andersen T, Grundt H, et al.
Front Cardiovasc Med . 2016 Mar; 3:4. PMID: 26955633
Background: Several studies have demonstrated an association between low vitamin D levels and cardiovascular risk. Vitamin D cut-off levels are still under debate. Objectives: To assess two cut-off levels, 40...

Borderline Values of Troponin-T and High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Did Not Predict 2-Year Mortality in TnT Positive Chest-Pain Patients, Whereas Brain Natriuretic Peptide Did
Nilsen D, Mjelva O, Leon De La Fuente R, Naesgaard P, Ponitz V, Brugger-Andersen T, et al.
Front Cardiovasc Med . 2015 Dec; 2:16. PMID: 26664888
Background: Troponin-T (TnT), high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP), and Brain Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) have been shown to be independent prognostic indicators of total and cardiac death during short- and long-term follow-up....

Long-term prognostic utility of pentraxin 3 and D-dimer as compared to high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and B-type natriuretic peptide in suspected acute coronary syndrome
Mjelva O, Ponitz V, Brugger-Andersen T, Grundt H, Staines H, Nilsen D
Eur J Prev Cardiol . 2015 Dec; 23(11):1130-40. PMID: 26635361
Background: Vascular inflammation plays a key role in the development of atherosclerosis and acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and pentraxin 3 (PTX3) is one of several novel, promising markers of inflammation....
