International journal of cardiology, 285, 40-46. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcard.2019.03.020

Background: Most trials of patients hospitalized for heart failure focus on breathlessness (alveolar pulmonary oedema) but worsening peripheral oedema is also an important presentation. We investigated the relationship between the severity of periphe... Read More about Characteristics and outcome of acute heart failure patients according to the severity of peripheral oedema.

Mode of presentation and mortality amongst patients hospitalized with heart failure? A report from the First Euro Heart Failure Survey (2018)
Journal Article
Shoaib, A., Farag, M., Nolan, J., Rigby, A., Patwala, A., Rashid, M., Kwok, C. S., Perveen, R., Clark, A., Komajda, M., & Cleland, J. G. (2019).

Clinical Research in Cardiology, 108(5), 510-519. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00392-018-1380-6

© 2018, The Author(s). Background: Heart failure is heterogeneous in aetiology, pathophysiology, and presentation. Despite this diversity, clinical trials of patients hospitalized for HF deal with this problem as a single entity, which may be one rea...

Mortality after admission for heart failure in the UK compared with Japan (2018)
Journal Article
Nagai, T., Sundaram, V., Rothnie, K., Quint, J. K., Shoaib, A., Shiraishi, Y., Kohsaka, S., Piper, S., McDonagh, T. A., Hardman, S. M. C., Goda, A., Mizuno, A., Kohno, T., Rigby, A.

Open heart, 5(2), e000811. https://doi.org/10.1136/openhrt-2018-000811

Objective Mortality amongst patients hospitalised for heart failure (HHF) in Western and Asian countries may differ, but this has not been investigated using individual patient-level data (IPLD). We sought to remedy this through rigorous statistical... Read More about Mortality after admission for heart failure in the UK compared with Japan.

© 2016 The Authors. European Journal of Heart Failure. Aims Most studies on acute heart failure (HF) exploring the relationship between admissions to hospital for HF and subsequent outcomes have focused only on HF coded as the primary diagnosis, but...

Prognostic significance of ultrasound-assessed jugular vein distensibility in heart failure (2015)
Journal Article

Aims: Jugular venous distension is a classical sign of heart failure (HF) but it can be difficult to assess clinically. Methods and results: Outpatients with HF and control subjects were assessed. Internal jugular vein diameter ( JVD) was measured us... Read More about Prognostic significance of ultrasound-assessed jugular vein distensibility in heart failure.
