Are non-invasive estimations of plasma volume an accurate measure of congestion in patients with chronic heart failure?. European Heart Journal - Quality of Care and Clinical Outcomes, 9(3), 281-292. https://doi.org/10.1093/ehjqcco/qcac035

Aims: We report associations between different formulae for estimating plasma volume status (PVS) and clinical and ultrasound markers of congestion in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) enrolled in the Hull Lifelab registry. Methods and result... Read More about Are non-invasive estimations of plasma volume an accurate measure of congestion in patients with chronic heart failure?.

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...

Warm water immersion in patients with chronic heart failure: a pilot study: Shah immerse: HF (2018)
Journal Article
Shah, P., Pellicori, P., Kallvikbacka-Bennett, A., Zhang, J., Pan, D., & Clark, A. L. (2019). Warm water immersion in patients with chronic heart failure: a pilot study: Shah immerse: HF. Clinical Research in Cardiology, 108(5), 468–476. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00392-018-1376-2

Background
Patients with chronic conditions, such as heart failure, swim regularly and most rehabilitation exercises are conducted in warm hydrotherapy pools. However, little is known about the acute effects of warm water immersion (WWI) on cardiac...

Non-invasive measurement of right atrial pressure by near-infrared spectroscopy: preliminary experience. A report from the SICA-HF study (2017)
Journal Article
Pellicori, P., Clark, A. L., Kallvikbacka-Bennett, A., Zhang, J., Urbinati, A., Monzo, L., Dierckx, R., Anker, S. D., & Cleland, J. G. (2017). Non-invasive measurement of right atrial pressure by near-infrared spectroscopy: preliminary experience. A report from the SICA-HF study. European journal of heart failure, 19(7), 883-892. https://doi.org/10.1002/ejhf.825

Background: Jugular venous distension, reflecting raised right atrial pressure (RAP), is a classical sign of congestive heart failure (CHF), but its clinical assessment can be difficult. Methods: RAP was measured non-invasively using near-infrared sp... Read More about Non-invasive measurement of right atrial pressure by near-infrared spectroscopy: preliminary experience.

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.

Does the physical examination still have a role in patients with suspected heart failure? (2011)
Journal Article
Damy, T., Kallvikbacka-Bennett, A., Zhang, J., Goode, K., Buga, L., Hobkirk, J., Yassin, A., Dubois-Randé, J.-L., Hittinger, L., Cleland, J. G. F., & Clark, A. L. (2011). Does the physical examination still have a role in patients with suspected heart failure?. European journal of heart failure, 13(12), 1340-1348. https://doi.org/10.1093/eurjhf/hfr128

AIMS: The prognostic value of signs of congestion in patients suspected of having chronic heart failure (CHF) is unknown. Our objectives were to define their prevalence and specificity in diagnosing CHF and to determine their prognostic value in pati...

Low dose cabergoline for hyperprolactinaemia is not associated with clinically significant valvular heart disease (2008)
Journal Article
Wakil, A., Rigby, A. S., Clark, A. L., Kallvikbacka-Bennett, A., & Atkin, S. L. (2008). Low dose cabergoline for hyperprolactinaemia is not associated with clinically significant valvular heart disease. European journal of endocrinology, 159(4), R11-R14. https://doi.org/10.1530/eje-08-0365

OBJECTIVE: Recent trials suggest that using ergot-derived dopamine agonists such as cabergoline in the treatment of Parkinson's disease is associated with an increased risk of valvular heart disease. However, the dose of cabergoline used to treat hyp... Read More about Low dose cabergoline for hyperprolactinaemia is not associated with clinically significant valvular heart disease.
