A placebo-controlled study of growth hormone in patients with congestive heart failure (1998)

Isgaard, J., Caidahl, K., Lomsky, M., Hjalmarson, Å., Bengtsson, B.-Å.

Aim Experimental data in heart failure models and an open trial of seven patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyo-pathy have suggested beneficial effects of growth hormone on cardiac function. The...

Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy among Swedish patients with congestive heart failure (1995)

Andersson, B, Caidahl, K, Waagstein, F

Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) is an exclusion diagnosis. Although it is a prognostically important entity and a common indication for cardiac transplantation, the incidence and age...

Non-invasive assessmenty of systolic left ventricular function in systemic sclerosis (1991)

KAZZAM, E., CAIDAHL, K., HÃLLGREN, R., GUSTAFSSON, R., LANDELIUS, J., WALDENSTRÖM, A.

Systemic sclerosis is a multisystemic disorder, also affecting the heart. To evaluate its influence on systolic left ventricular (LV) function, we investigated 30 consecutive patients (age 54.5 ±2.4...

Improving the detection and diagnosis of congestive heart failure (1989)

Wilhelmsen, L., Eriksson, H., Svärdsudd, K., Caidahl, K.

Early detection of heart failure requires criteria by which to define the initial stages of a syndrome which often has an insidious onset and which may progress slowly for many years. The most...

Conservative surgery for mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation: clinical follow-up and noninvasive assessment (1987)

CAIDAHL, K., LARSSON, S., SÜDOW, G., WALLENTIN, I., OLSSON, B. S.

To evaluate the result of mitral valve repair in pure regurgitation due to mitral valve prolapse with or without chordal rupture, 11 patients were followed noninvasively for 2.0 to 3.5 years and...

Cardiac and pulmonary causes of dyspnoea--validation of a scoring test for clinical-epidemiological use: the Study of Men Born in 1913 (1987)

Eriksson, H, Caidahl, K, Larsson, B, Ohlson, LO, Welin, L, Wilhelmsen, L, ...

Dyspnoea is one of the earliest symptoms in several conditions, such as heart disease and airway obstruction. However, the early phases of these two conditions are hard to distinguish in a...

Left ventricular volumes, ejection fraction, and plasma proatrial natriuretic factor (1-98) after withdrawal of enalapril treatment initiated early after myocardial infarction. CONSENSUS II Multi-Echo Study Group.

Bonarjee, V. V., Omland, T., Nilsen, D. W., Carstensen, S., Berning, J., Edner, M., ...

OBJECTIVES--To assess whether the reduction in left ventricular dilatation after acute myocardial infarction obtained by early administration of angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors depends on...

Plasma proatrial natriuretic factor (1-98) concentration after myocardial infarction: relation to indices of cardiac and renal function.

Bonarjee, V. V., Omland, T., Nilsen, D. W., Caidahl, K., Sundsfjord, J. A., Dickstein, K.

OBJECTIVES--(a) To assess the relation between plasma concentrations of proatrial natriuretic factor (1-98) and non-invasively derived indices of left ventricular systolic and diastolic performance...

Long-term prognostic significance of M mode echocardiography in young men after myocardial infarction.

Eriksson, S. V., Caidahl, K., Hamsten, A., De Faire, U., Rehnqvist, N., Lindvall, K.

OBJECTIVE--To evaluate the power of measurements of left ventricular size and function for predicting long term (82 month) mortality by performing echocardiography in 97 men who had survived an acute...

Metoprolol treatment for two years after coronary bypass grafting: effects on exercise capacity and signs of myocardial ischaemia.

Sjöland, H., Caidahl, K., Lurje, L., Hjalmarson, A., Herlitz, J.

OBJECTIVE--To evaluate whether prophylactic treatment with metoprolol for two years after coronary artery bypass grafting improves working capacity and reduces the occurrence of myocardial ischaemia...

Prospective study of left ventricular function after radiofrequency ablation of atrioventricular junction in patients with atrial fibrillation.

Edner, M., Caidahl, K., Bergfeldt, L., Darpö, B., Edvardsson, N., Rosenqvist, M.

BACKGROUND--In patients with drug resistant incessant supraventricular tachycardia, radiofrequency induced ablation of the atrioventricular junction and pacemaker implantation have hitherto been...
