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, 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.

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., …Cleland, J. (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.

Clinical and prognostic association of total atrial and conduction time in patients with heart failure: a report from Studies Investigating Co-morbidities Aggravating Heart Failure (2019)
Journal Article
Nuzzi, V., Pellicori, P., Nikolaidou, T., Kallvikbacka-Bennett, A., Torromeo, C., Barilla, F., …Clark, A. (2019). Clinical and prognostic association of total atrial and conduction time in patients with heart failure: a report from Studies Investigating Co-morbidities Aggravating Heart Failure. European journal of heart failure, 20(7), 442–449. https://doi.org/10.2459/JCM.0000000000000802

Background The total atrial conduction time can be measured as the time from the onset of the P wave on the ECG to the peak of the A wave recorded at the mitral annulus using tissue Doppler imaging (A′; P-A′TDI); when prolonged, it might predict inci...

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., …Cleland, J. G. F. (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., …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. Conclusions Many patients with chr...
