A call to action and a lifecourse strategy to address the global burden of raised blood pressure on current and future generations: the Lancet Commission on hypertension
Olsen, Michael H.; Schutte, Aletta E.; Angell, Sonia Y.; Asma, Samira; Boutouyrie, Pierre (Elsevier Science Inc, 2016)Elevated blood pressure is the strongest modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease worldwide. Despite extensive knowledge about ways to prevent as well as to treat hypertension, the global incidence and prevalence ... -
Changes in peripheral blood pressure with normal and accelerated aging
Franklin, Stanley S.; Olsen, Michael H. (Elsevier, 2015)Aging represents an important risk factor in the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Nevertheless, the question arises: How immutable is age as a risk factor? Can we make a distinction between physiologic or ... -
Early Vascular Aging (EVA): new directions in cardiovascular protection. Preface
Nilsson, Peter M.; Olsen, Michael H.; Laurent, Stéphane (Elsevier, 2015)Early Vascular Aging (EVA): New Directions in Cardiovascular Protection brings together the last decade of research related to the characterization of EVA, as well as the predictive power of pulse wave velocity (PWV). The ... -
Elevated estimated arterial age is associated with metabolic syndrome and low-grade inflammation
Greve, Sara V.; Kruger, Ruan; Olsen, Michael H.; Blicher, Marie K.; Sehestedt, Thomas (Wolters Kluwer, 2016)Background: Arterial age can be estimated from equations relating arterial stiffness to age and blood pressure in large cohorts. We investigated whether estimated arterial age (eAA) was elevated in patients with the metabolic ... -
Estimated carotid-femoral pulsewave velocity has similar predictive value as measured carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity
Greve, Sara V.; Kruger, Ruan; Olsen, Michael H.; Blicher, Marie K.; Sehestedt, Thomas (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016)Background: Carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) adds significantly to traditional cardiovascular risk prediction, but is not widely available. Therefore, it would be helpful if cfPWV could be replaced by an estimated ... -
N-terminal prohormone B-type natriuretic peptide and cardiovascular function in Africans and Caucasians: the SAfrEIC study
Hindersson, Peter; Huisman, Hugo Willem; Kruger, Ruan; Olsen, Michael; Schutte, Aletta Elisabeth; Schutte, Rudolph (Elsevier, 2012)Background This study compared NT-proBNP levels and the association with cardiovascular markers between Africans and Caucasians from South Africa. Methods This cross-sectional study involved 201 Africans and 255 Caucasians ... -
NT-proBNP and potential vascular calcification in black and caucasian African men: the SAfrEIC study
Huisman, Hugo Willem; Kruger, Ruan; Olsen, Michael; Schutte, Aletta Elisabeth; Schutte, Rudolph (ISHIB, 2012)OBJECTIVE: The N-terminal prohormone B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a reliable marker of cardiac strain. In hypertensive heart disease, NT-proBNP levels increase and may lose its protective function. Simultaneously, ... -
NT–proBNP, C–reactive protein and soluble uPAR in a Bi–ethnic male population: the SAfrEIC study
Kruger, Ruan; Schutte, Rudolph; Huisman, Hugo W.; Olsen, Michael H.; Schutte, Aletta E. (Public Library of Science, 2013)Objective and design: This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate associations between a marker of cardiac strain, the N-terminal prohormone B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), and inflammation as reflected by ... -

Thresholds for pulse wave velocity, urine albumin creatinine ratio and left ventricularmass index using SCORE, Framingham and ESH/ESC risk charts
Sehestedt, Thomas; Jeppesen, Jørgen; Hansen, Tine W.; Rasmussen, Susanne; Wachtell, Kristian; Ibsen, Hans; Torp-Pedersen, Christian; Olsen, Michael H. (Kluwer, 2012)Aims: Markers of subclinical target organ damage (TOD) increase cardiovascular (CV) risk prediction beyond traditional risk factors. We wanted to establish thresholds for three markers of TOD based on absolute CV risk in ... -
Traditional versus new models of risk prediction
Sehestedt, Thomas; Olsen, Michael H. (Elsevier, 2015)Risk stratification for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease is today performed using traditional risk factors such as age, gender, blood pressure, serum cholesterol, smoking habits, and plasma glucose. However, ...
