The importance of nonobstructive plaque characteristics in symptomatic and asymptomatic coronary artery disease Open
Nonobstructive CAD was the predominant contributor to total atherosclerotic plaque volume in both subclinical and clinically manifested CAD. Nonobstructive fibrous, fibrofatty and necrotic core tissue volumes increased with worsening clini…

High Lipoprotein(a) May Explain One-Quarter of Clinical Familial Hypercholesterolemia Diagnoses in Danish Lipid Clinics Open
Context Cholesterol carried in lipoprotein(a) adds to measured low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and may therefore drive some diagnoses of clinical familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Objective We investigated plasma lipoprotein(…

Coronary microvascular dysfunction is associated with cardiac time intervals in women with angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease: An <span>iPOWER</span> substudy Open
Background Coronary microvascular dysfunction ( CMD ) may cause angina in the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease ( CAD ) and increases the risk of future adverse cardiovascular events. Transthoracic Doppler echocardiography ( T…

P859The relationship between agatston calcium score and global longitudinal strain in patients suspected of stable angina pectoris Open
Tissue Doppler, speckle tracking and strain imaging / Left ventricular mechanics 157 was measured from regional strain curves for each segment, as the time from the beginning of the Q-wave to the time-to-peak (sys) (TPS), mechanical dyssyn…

Low diagnostic yield of non-invasive testing in patients with suspected coronary artery disease: results from a large unselected hospital-based sample Open
These data confirm the very low diagnostic yield of non-invasive and invasive assessment of CAD in current clinical practice, particularly in women and in patients with atypical symptoms. Data call for a more rational approach to avoid unn…
View article: Coronary microvascular dysfunction and myocardial contractile reserve in women with angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease
Coronary microvascular dysfunction and myocardial contractile reserve in women with angina and no obstructive coronary artery disease Open
Background Coronary microvascular dysfunction ( CMD ) is a potential cause of myocardial ischemia and may affect myocardial function at rest and during stress. We investigated whether CMD was associated with left ventricular diastolic and …

Regional Longitudinal Myocardial Deformation Provides Incremental Prognostic Information in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Open
Regional longitudinal myocardial deformation measures, regardless if determined by TDI or 2DSE, are superior prognosticators to GLS. In addition, impaired longitudinal deformation in the inferior myocardial segment provides prognostic info…

Abnormal echocardiography in patients with type 2 diabetes and relation to symptoms and clinical characteristics Open
Objectives: We aimed to determine the prevalence of echocardiographic abnormalities and their relation to clinical characteristics and cardiac symptoms in a large, contemporary cohort of patients with type 2 diabetes. Results: A total of 1…

Early myocardial impairment in type 1 diabetes patients without known heart disease assessed with tissue Doppler echocardiography: The Thousand & 1 study Open
Purpose: Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of mortality in type 1 diabetes; patients with albuminuria are at greatest risk. We investigated myocardial function and premature myocardial impairment in type 1 diabetes patients w…
