European Heart Journal, 42(6), 684-696. https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/ehaa758

Aims: To investigate the effects of spironolactone on fibrosis and cardiac function in people at increased risk of developing heart failure. Methods and results: Randomized, open-label, blinded-endpoint trial comparing spironolactone (50 mg/day) or c...

Relation Between Thyroid Function and Mortality in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure (2020)
Journal Article
Samuel, N. A., Cuthbert, J. J., Brown, O. I., Kazmi, S., Cleland, J. G., Rigby, A. S., & Clark, A. L. (2021). Relation Between Thyroid Function and Mortality in Patients With Chronic Heart Failure. The American journal of cardiology, 139, 57-63. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.amjcard.2020.10.034

Thyroid dysfunction is common in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF), but there is conflicting evidence regarding its prognostic significance. We investigated the relation between thyroid function and prognosis in a large, well characterized co...

Hypochloraemia in Patients with Heart Failure: Causes and Consequences (2020)
Journal Article
Cuthbert, J. J., Bhandari, S., & Clark, A. L. (2020). Hypochloraemia in Patients with Heart Failure: Causes and Consequences. Cardiology and Therapy, 9, 333-347. https://doi.org/10.1007/s40119-020-00194-3

Hypochloraemia is a common electrolyte abnormality in patients with heart failure (HF). It has a strong association with adverse outcome regardless of HF phenotype and independent of other prognostic markers. How hypochloraemia develops in a patient...

Cardiovascular Outcomes with Sacubitril-Valsartan in Heart Failure: Emerging Clinical Data (2020)
Journal Article
Cuthbert, J. J., Pellicori, P., & Clark, A. L. (2020). Cardiovascular Outcomes with Sacubitril-Valsartan in Heart Failure: Emerging Clinical Data. Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management, 16, 715-726. https://doi.org/10.2147/tcrm.s234772

One of the defining features of heart failure (HF) is neurohormonal activation. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone-system (RAAS) and sympathetic nervous system (SNS) cause vasoconstriction and fluid retention and, in response, the secretion of natriur...
