Christen Peder Dahl successfully defended his thesis "Inflammatory cytokines in heart failure – Potential role as mediators and biomarkers." in December 2010.

Immune activation and inflammation may be involved in the development of chronic heart failure.
The goal of the studies in this thesis was to uncover new mediators that may contribute to the development of heart failure, with a particular focus on participants in inflammatory reactions.


We have shown that several substances that promote inflammation are up-regulated in both clinical and experimental heart failure. In laboratory experiments, we have shown that these substances can promote further inflammation of blood cells as well as cause breakdown of connective tissue in the heart. We have also shown that measurement of osteoprotegerin in the blood, a marker of inflammation and calcification, was able to provide independent prognostic information in a large population of heart failure patients.

Finally, we showed that mediators from the lungs can also contribute to increased inflammation in heart failure patients. We have already identified new prognostic markers in this condition, and in the long run our results may lead to completely new forms of treatment in patients with heart failure.
