K.G. Jebsen Center for Cardiac Biomarkers
@CRG_Norway
Akershus University Hospital, Norway. Led by Prof. Torbjørn Omland. Areas of focus: Cardiovascular biomarkers, cardio oncology, heart failure, risk prediction
🎧 What an inspiring listen by @pmyhre on tackling heart failure—from cutting-edge HF research to biomarker-driven care, global challenges of implementing digital health, and how Norway is reshaping participation in cardiology clinical trials. emjreviews.com/cardiology/pod…
This year’s summer seminar was one for the books with world class speakers @mvaduganathan and @oyvlie talking about the interaction between heart and kidney and how to interpret clinical trials! 🙏 thank you




#Editorial on Reddy et al. study @CircAHA: Standard NT-proBNP cutoffs miss HFpEF—especially in obesity. Reddy et al show BMI-adjusted thresholds boost diagnostic accuracy. Smarter HF dx is here. @HighSTEACS ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…
Thrilled to announce that we have received ~2mill EUR from @helse_og_omsorg to conduct the STRONG@HOME trial at 7 sites in 🇳🇴🎉. Building on #STRONGHF, this trial will test efficacy and safety of rapid uptitration of #GDMT after HF hosp can be performed by digital follow-up 📲
Celebrating a great year for the K.G. Jebsen Center for Cardiac Biomarkers 🚀 @UniOslo_MED @Ahus_no

Gratulerer @KarolineRypdal med pris for beste forskningsformidling på 15-årsjubileet til @stiftkgj 🍾👏🏻 Følg kontoen hennes «Hjerteforsk» på Instagram!

Elevated #NatriureticPeptides and #troponins are strong predictors of #HF events, but ever wondered if these biomarkers predict worsening cardiac structure & function? We analyzed NT-proBNP, TnT and TnI in a/w serial echo in ~2000 👤 in #ARIC Just published in @CircAHA 🧵 /5
More data on #NTproBNP 🤓 In 🚺 who had gestational diabetes we found a strong link between ⬇️ NTproBNP and ⬆️ insulin resistance, which may explain part of the “BNP-obesity paradox’ and differences by race. link.springer.com/article/10.118… @CRG_Norway @UniOslo_ME
🔥off the press in EJHF @ESC_Journals @EJHFEiC Changes in #6MWT in HFrEF during uptitration of #GDMT is a predictor of survival independent of changes in NT-proBNP and NYHA - supporting it as a surrogate outcome in HF trials. 🚶♂️50m increase = 17%⬇️☠️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ej…
We are thrilled to announce that our group leader and mentor Torbjørn Omland @OmlandRn has been appointed member of The Norwegian Academy of Science @DNVA1 ⭐️ 📷 DNVA/Thomas B. Eckhoff

Today @nur_sourour defended her thesis brilliantly from tough and insightful opposition /BBQ by #HeikkiHuikuri and #OleChristianMjølstad 🔥 I am so proud! CONGRATULATIONS 🍾 @CRG_Norway @Ahus_no @UniOslo_MED
Can #troponin be used to rule out cardiac abnormalities after #COVID19 ? In this study led by PhD-student @Tarjeivrebotten 💫, we measured hs-TnT during hospitalization, after 3 and 12 months and associated that with changes in #echo and #CMR link.springer.com/article/10.118…
In the PRADA trial, there was a marked difference in incidence of mild, asymptomatic CTRCD when defined by cTnT vs cTnI and sex-specific vs sex-neutral 99th percentiles URLs during adjuvant breast cancer therapy @AlbulenaMecinaj @Gulati_Norway @OmlandRn @CRG_Norway @Ahus_no
The incidence of mild, asymptomatic CTRCD according to the recent IC-OS definition was high during adjuvant therapy for early breast cancer and driven mainly by cTn elevation. bit.ly/3Oh5rd0 #JACCCardioOnc #CardioOnc #BCsm @siri_lh
We now have RCT evidence for #ARNI in all 4 corners of the LVEF-by-acuity spectra in HF ◻️ #PARADIGM #PARAGON #PIONEER #PARAGLIDE We summarize the data showing striking consistency in effects up to normal EF, irresp of acuity! @lamcardio @JACCJournals sciencedirect.com/science/authSh…
In 13,900 HF-free individuals, we identified 37 proteins consistently associated with incident HF independent of traditional risk factors. The majority with higher risk, but also a few with lower risk! NT-proBNP was (by far) the strongest, followed by SVEP1, WFDC2 and ANGPT2
@stiftkgj Annual Symposium about «Internationalization in Research» was amazing with talks from Nobel laureate @EdvardMoser and my own mentor @scottdsolomon who travelled from @harvardmed to share his experience of hosting 107 (!!) international scholars 🙏🏻
Congratulations @BergeKristian 🌟
Proud to be announced the winner of the EXERCISE & DIAGNOSTICS Abstract Session at the 21st Annual Norwegian Symposium on Heart Research with my presentation RISK FACTORS FOR CORONARY ARTERY CALCIFICATION IN ENDURANCE ATHLETES #NorHeart #MARC2 @ThijsEijsvogels @Ahus_no
Beautiful presentation by @nur_sourour on the association between NT-proBNP and incident ventricular arrhythmias 🌟

Prediction of coronary atherosclerosis in endurance athletes by @BergeKristian

Congratulations to @AagaardErika who elegantly defended her thesis on #MechanicalDispersion #echofirst @Ahus_no 🌟 Truly brilliant opposition from @TorBiering and @VDelgadoGarcia
