Prevalence and incidence of atrial fibrillation in ambulatory patients with heart failure (2019)
Journal Article
Pellicori, P., Urbinati, A., Kaur, K., Zhang, J., Shah, P., Kazmi, S., …Clark, A. L. (2019). Prevalence and incidence of atrial fibrillation in ambulatory patients with heart failure. The American journal of cardiology, 124(10), 1554-1560. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.amjcard.2019.08.018

Heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) commonly co-exist. We aimed to determine the prevalence and incidence of AF in ambulatory patients with HF. HF was defined by the presence of symptoms or signs supported by objective evidence of cardiac...

High-sensitivity C-reactive protein in chronic heart failure: Patient characteristics, phenotypes, and mode of death (2019)
Journal Article
Pellicori, P., Zhang, J., Cuthbert, J., Urbinati, A., Shah, P., Kazmi, S., Clark, A. L., & Cleland, J. G. (2020). High-sensitivity C-reactive protein in chronic heart failure: Patient characteristics, phenotypes, and mode of death. Cardiovascular research, 116(1), 91-100. https://doi.org/10.1093/cvr/cvz198

Aims: Plasma concentrations of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) are often raised in chronic heart failure (CHF) and might indicate inflammatory processes that could be a therapeutic target. We aimed to study the associations between hsCRP,... Read More about High-sensitivity C-reactive protein in chronic heart failure: Patient characteristics, phenotypes, and mode of death.

Characteristics and outcome of acute heart failure patients according to the severity of peripheral oedema (2019)
Journal Article
Shoaib, A., Mamas, M. A., Ahmad, Q. S., McDonagh, T. M., Hardman, S. M., Rashid, M., Butler, R., Duckett, S., Satchithananda, D., Nolan, J., Dargie, H. J., Clark, A. L., & Cleland, J. G. (2019). Characteristics and outcome of acute heart failure patients according to the severity of peripheral oedema. 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.

Prevalence, pattern and clinical relevance of ultrasound indices of congestion in outpatients with heart failure (2019)
Journal Article
Pellicori, P., Shah, P., Cuthbert, J., Urbinati, A., Zhang, J., Kallvikbacka-Bennett, A., Clark, A. L., & Cleland, J. G. F. (2019). Prevalence, pattern and clinical relevance of ultrasound indices of congestion in outpatients with heart failure. European journal of heart failure, 21(7), 904-916. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejhf.1383

Aims: Even if treatment controls symptoms, patients with heart failure may still be congested. We aimed at assessing the prevalence and clinical relevance of congestion in outpatients with chronic heart failure. Methods and results: We recorded clini...
