Rationale and design of the Karolinska-Rennes (KaRen) prospective study of dyssynchrony in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (2009)

Donal, Erwan, Lund, Lars H., Linde, Cecilia, Edner, Magnus, Lafitte, Stéphane, Persson, Hans, ...

Cowie, Martin R., Marshall, Deborah, Drummond, Michael, Ferko, Nicole, Maschio, Michael, Ekman, Matthias, ...

Aims Current European guidelines recommend prophylactic implantation of cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) in patients with a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) who are not in NYHA...

Cardiac output response to changes of the atrioventricular delay in different body positions and during exercise in patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (2009)

Ståhlberg, Marcus, Damgaard, Morten, Norsk, Peter, Gabrielsen, Anders, Sahlén, Anders, Linde, Cecilia, ...

Aims The aim of this study was to study the haemodynamic effect of atrioventricular delay (AVD) modifications within a narrow range in different body positions and during exercise in patients...

It has been firmly established that cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) reduces symptoms and improves mortality in patients with moderate-to-severe chronic heart failure [New York Heart...

Atrial vs. dual-chamber cardiac pacing in sinus node disease: a register-based cohort study (2008)

Fored, C. Michael, Granath, Fredrik, Gadler, Fredrik, Blomqvist, Paul, Rynder, Jenny, Linde, Cecilia, ...

Aims In patients with sinus node disease, dual-chamber pacing (DDD) possibly results in adverse effects on the ventricular function. We have compared the incidence of cardiovascular morbidity and...

History of electrical therapy for the heart (2007)

Sutton, Richard, Fisher, John D., Linde, Cecilia, Benditt, David G.

The history of electrical therapy for the heart can be said to have begun with the implantation of the first permanent pacemaker in Stockholm, Sweden in 1958. This paper outlines the important events...
