Aims: A high, Doppler-derived, tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRV) indicates pulmonary hypertension, which may contribute to right ventricular dysfunction and worsening tricuspid regurgitation leading to systemic venous congestion, reflected by an...

Thyroid dysfunction is common in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), but there is conflicting evidence regarding its prognostic significance. We investigated the relation between thyroid function and prognosis in a large, well characterized co...

Prevalence and incidence of atrial fibrillation in ambulatory patients with heart failure (2019)
Journal Article

Heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) commonly co-exist. We aimed to determine the prevalence and incidence of AF in ambulatory patients with HF. HF was defined by the presence of symptoms or signs supported by objective evidence of cardiac...

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein in chronic heart failure: Patient characteristics, phenotypes, and mode of death (2019)
Journal Article
