Association of spironolactone use with all-cause mortality in heart failure: a propensity scored cohort studyLars H Lund
Department of Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden mail
Circ Heart Fail 6:174-83. 2013..We tested the hypothesis that spironolactone is associated with reduced mortality also in a broad unselected contemporary population with HF and reduced ejection fraction, in particular New York Heart Association (NYHA) I-II...
Prevalence, correlates, and prognostic significance of QRS prolongation in heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fractionLars H Lund
Department of Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, 17177 Stockholm, Sweden
Eur Heart J 34:529-39. 2013..The rationale for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in preserved EF is unknown. The aim was to determine the prevalence of, correlates with, and prognostic impact of QRS prolongation in HF with reduced and preserved EF...
Association between use of renin-angiotensin system antagonists and mortality in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fractionLars H Lund
Department of Medicine, Unit of Cardiology, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden
JAMA 308:2108-17. 2012..Three randomized trials of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ie, renin-angiotensin system [RAS] antagonists) did not reach primary end points but may have had selection bias or been underpowered...
Derived and displayed power consumption, flow, and pulsatility over a range of HeartMate II left ventricular assist device settingsLars H Lund
Department of Cardiology, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden
ASAIO J 58:183-90. 2012..These findings have implications for clinicians attempting to optimize settings and assess pump and native heart function...
Patient selection for left ventricular assist devicesLars H Lund
Department of Cardiology, Section for Heart Failure, Karolinska University Hospital, N305 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden
Eur J Heart Fail 12:434-43. 2010..This review summarizes recent reports of predictors of poor outcomes and provides an overview of selection for LVAD therapy...
Ghrelin resistance occurs in severe heart failure and resolves after heart transplantationLars H Lund
Section for Heart Failure, Department of Cardiology, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden
Eur J Heart Fail 11:789-94. 2009..Ghrelin is a novel appetite-stimulating hormone. The aim was to determine the role of ghrelin in regulating appetite, food intake, and body composition in HF and post-HTx...
Growth hormone resistance in severe heart failure resolves after cardiac transplantationLars H Lund
Department of Cardiology, Karolinska University Hospital, N305, Stockholm, Sweden
Eur J Heart Fail 11:525-8. 2009..Whether GH resistance resolves post HTx is unknown. We aimed to confirm that HF is associated with GH resistance and to test the hypothesis that GH resistance resolves post HTx...
Peak VO2 in elderly patients with heart failureLars H Lund
Division of Cardiology and Medicine, Karolinska Institute and Karolinska University Hospital, 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden
Int J Cardiol 125:166-71. 2008..This review examines the physiology of aging and the clinical utility of exercise testing in elderly patients with heart failure...
Myocardial recovery in peri-partum cardiomyopathy after continuous flow left ventricular assist deviceLars H Lund
Department of Cardiology, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden
J Cardiothorac Surg 6:150. 2011..We describe the clinical course of a patient with severe peri-partum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) rescued with a continuous flow LVAD, who experienced recovery and explantation. We discuss assessment of and criteria for recovery...
Validation of peak exercise oxygen consumption and the Heart Failure Survival Score for serial risk stratification in advanced heart failureLars H Lund
Department of Cardiology, Karolinska University Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden
Am J Cardiol 95:734-41. 2005..Peak VO2 and the HFSS can be successfully used for serial evaluation of mortality risk in ambulatory patients who have advanced heart failure...
Association of candesartan vs losartan with all-cause mortality in patients with heart failureMaria Eklind-Cervenka
Department of Cardiology, South Hospital, Stockholm, Sweden
JAMA 305:175-82. 2011..Different agents have different affinity for the AT(1) receptor and may have different clinical effects, but have not been tested against each other in HF...
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation as a rescue of intractable ventricular fibrillation and bridge to heart transplantationThomas Fux
Department of Cardiology, Section for Heart Failure, Karolinska University Hospital, N305, 171 76 Stockholm, Sweden
Eur J Heart Fail 12:301-4. 2010....
Sex differences in response to maximal exercise stress test in trained adolescentsAsa Fomin
Department of Cardiology, Karolinska Institutet, Karolinska University Hospital, N1 05, SE 17176, Stockholm, Sweden
BMC Pediatr 12:127. 2012..Sex comparisons between girls and boys in response to exercise in trained adolescents are missing and we investigated similarities and differences as a basis for clinical interpretation and guidance...
Change in blood pressure during hospitalisation for acute heart failure predicts mortalityPer Svensson
Department of Emergency Medicine, Karolinska University Hospital Solna, Stockholm, Sweden
Scand Cardiovasc J 44:325-30. 2010..The primary objective was to study the impact of the change in BP during a hospitalisation for acute HF on prognosis...
Women have better long-term prognosis than men after cardiac resynchronization therapyStanislava Zabarovskaja
Section for Heart Failure, Department of Cardiology, Karolinska University Hospital, 17176 Stockholm, Sweden
Europace 14:1148-55. 2012..However, CRT may be under-utilized in women and data on long-term follow-up are still scarce. The aim was to investigate long-term mortality and hospitalization and prognostic impact of gender after CRT...
Comparison of peak exercise oxygen consumption and the Heart Failure Survival Score for predicting prognosis in women versus menPhilip Green
Department of Medicine, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York, USA
Am J Cardiol 99:399-403. 2007..The HFSS was consistent between genders. In conclusion, peak VO2 and the HFSS are excellent parameters to predict survival in women with congestive heart failure. THE HFSS is more consistent than the peak VO2 between the genders...
