Journal Article
Cleland, J. G., Bunting, K. V., Flather, M., Altman, D. G., Holmes, J., Coats, A. J., …Beta-blockers in Heart Failure Collaborative Group. (2018). Beta-blockers for heart failure with reduced, mid-range, and preserved ejection fraction: An individual patient-level analysis of double-blind randomized trials. European Heart Journal, 39(1), 26-35. https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/ehx564

Aims: Recent guidelines recommend that patients with heart failure and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) 40-49% should be managed similar to LVEF ≥50%. We investigated the effect of beta-blockers according to LVEF in double-blind, randomised,...

Estimated peak functional capacity: an accurate method for assessing change in peak oxygen consumption after cardiac rehabilitation? (2017)
Journal Article
Nichols, S., Gleadall-Siddall, D. O., Antony, R., Clark, A. L., Cleland, J. G. F., Carroll, S., & Ingle, L. (2018). Estimated peak functional capacity: an accurate method for assessing change in peak oxygen consumption after cardiac rehabilitation?. Clinical physiology and functional imaging, 38(4), 681-688. https://doi.org/10.1111/cpf.12468

Summary Objective Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is the ‘gold standard’ method of determining VO2peak. When CPET is unavailable, VO2peak may be estimated from treadmill or cycle ergometer workloads and expressed as estimated metabolic equiva...

Heart rate and rhythm and the benefit of beta-blockers in patients with heart failure (2017)
Journal Article
Kotecha, D., Flather, M. D., Altman, D. G., Holmes, J., Rosano, G., Wikstrand, J., …Cleland, J. G. (2017). Heart rate and rhythm and the benefit of beta-blockers in patients with heart failure. Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 69(24), 2885-2896. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jacc.2017.04.001

Background The relationship between mortality and heart rate remains unclear for patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction in either sinus rhythm or atrial fibrillation (AF). Objectives This analysis explored the prognostic importan... Read More about Heart rate and rhythm and the benefit of beta-blockers in patients with heart failure.

Statins attenuate but do not eliminate the reverse epidemiology of total serum cholesterol in patients with non-ischemic chronic heart failure (2017)
Journal Article

International journal of cardiology, 238, 97-104. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcard.2017.03.028

© 2017 Elsevier B.V. Background In patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) increasing levels of total serum cholesterol are associated with improved survival – while statin usage is not. The impact of statin treatment on the “reverse epidemiology”...
