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.

Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy among Swedish patients with congestive heart failure (1995)
Andersson, B, Caidahl, K, Waagstein, F

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...
