BACKGROUND It is unclear whether risk prediction strategies in chronic heart failure (CHF) need to be specific for sex or beta-blockers. We examined this problem and developed and validated the consequent risk models based on 6-minute-walk-test and N...

Impact of different diagnostic criteria on the prevalence and prognostic significance of exertional oscillatory ventilation in patients with chronic heart failure. European journal of cardiovascular prevention and rehabilitation, 16(4), 451-456. https://doi.org/10.1097/HJR.0b013e32832a4f54

INTRODUCTION: Exertional oscillatory ventilation (EOV) occurs in many patients with chronic heart failure. Two different definitions of EOV have been proposed by Corrá and Leite. We aimed to compare the prevalence of EOV and its prognostic significan...

Abstract: Introduction: The double pressure reserve (DPR) has recently been shown to have greater prognostic power
than metabolic equivalents, heart rate indices, and systolic blood pressure in healthy subjects. It is unclear whether DPR
offers any... Read More about Prognostic Significance of the Double Pressure Reserve in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure.

The prognostic value of individual NT-proBNP values in chronic heart failure does not change with advancing age (2009)
Journal Article
Frankenstein, L., Clark, A. L., Goode, K., Ingle, L., Remppis, A., Schellberg, D., Grabs, F., Nelles, M., Cleland, J. G. F., Katus, H. A., & Zugck, C. (2009). The prognostic value of individual NT-proBNP values in chronic heart failure does not change with advancing age. Heart, 95(10), 825-829. https://doi.org/10.1136/hrt.2008.158626

Background: It is unclear whether age-related increases in N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) represent a normal physiological process - possibly affecting the prognostic power - of NT-proBNP - or reflect age-related subclinical pat...

A comparison of patient and physician-rated New York Heart Association class in a community-based heart failure clinic (2008)
Journal Article
Goode, K. M., Nabb, S., Cleland, J. G., & Clark, A. L. (2008). A comparison of patient and physician-rated New York Heart Association class in a community-based heart failure clinic. Journal of cardiac failure, 14(5), 379-387. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cardfail.2008.01.014

OBJECTIVE: The New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification is recommended for grading symptoms of chronic heart failure and is a powerful prognostic marker. Patient-rated NYHA (Pa-NYHA) and physician-rated NYHA (Dr-NYHA) class have never been co...

Perception of symptoms is out of proportion to cardiac pathology in patients with "diastolic heart failure" (2008)
Journal Article
Ingle, L., Cleland, J. G., & Clark, A. L. (2008). Perception of symptoms is out of proportion to cardiac pathology in patients with "diastolic heart failure". Heart, 94(6), 748-753. https://doi.org/10.1136/hrt.2007.131144

Background: Epidemiological studies suggest that "diastolic heart failure" (DHF) is common and has a prognosis similar to that of systolic heart failure (SHF). We wanted to assess whether patients with breathlessness who were being treated for DHF ha...

Combining the ventilatory response to exercise and peak oxygen consumption is no better than peak oxygen consumption alone in predicting mortality in chronic heart failure (2008)
Journal Article
Ingle, L., Witte, K. K., Cleland, J. G. F., & Clark, A. L. (2008). Combining the ventilatory response to exercise and peak oxygen consumption is no better than peak oxygen consumption alone in predicting mortality in chronic heart failure. European journal of heart failure, 10(1), 85-88. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejheart.2007.10.010

Background: A low peak oxygen uptake (pV(O2)) and steep V-E/V-CO2 slope are independently associated with a worse prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). We wished to confirm whether combining these variables as a ratio would lead to...

Background: Peak oxygen consumption derived from a maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is a standard prognostic indicator in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Tests with a peak respiratory exchange ratio (pRER) < 1.0 are often tak...
