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.

A comparison of patient and physician-rated New York Heart Association class in a community-based heart failure clinic (2008)
Journal Article
Goode, K. M., Nabb, S., Cleland, J. G., & Clark, A. L. (2008). A comparison of patient and physician-rated New York Heart Association class in a community-based heart failure clinic. Journal of cardiac failure, 14(5), 379-387. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cardfail.2008.01.014

OBJECTIVE: The New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification is recommended for grading symptoms of chronic heart failure and is a powerful prognostic marker. Patient-rated NYHA (Pa-NYHA) and physician-rated NYHA (Dr-NYHA) class have never been co...

Perception of symptoms is out of proportion to cardiac pathology in patients with "diastolic heart failure" (2008)
Journal Article
Ingle, L., Cleland, J. G., & Clark, A. L. (2008). Perception of symptoms is out of proportion to cardiac pathology in patients with "diastolic heart failure". Heart, 94(6), 748-753. https://doi.org/10.1136/hrt.2007.131144

Background: Epidemiological studies suggest that "diastolic heart failure" (DHF) is common and has a prognosis similar to that of systolic heart failure (SHF). We wanted to assess whether patients with breathlessness who were being treated for DHF ha...

The timing of development and subsequent clinical course of heart failure after a myocardial infarction (2008)
Journal Article
Torabi, A., Cleland, J. G., Khan, N. K., Loh, P. H., Clark, A. L., Alamgir, F., …Goode, K. (2008). The timing of development and subsequent clinical course of heart failure after a myocardial infarction. European Heart Journal, 29(7), 859-870. https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/ehn096

Aims: Myocardial infarction (MI) is a common cause of heart failure (HF), which may develop early and persist or resolve, or develop late. The cumulative incidence, persistence, and resolution of HF after MI are poorly described. The aim of this stud...

Combining the ventilatory response to exercise and peak oxygen consumption is no better than peak oxygen consumption alone in predicting mortality in chronic heart failure (2008)
Journal Article
Ingle, L., Witte, K. K., Cleland, J. G. F., & Clark, A. L. (2008). Combining the ventilatory response to exercise and peak oxygen consumption is no better than peak oxygen consumption alone in predicting mortality in chronic heart failure. European journal of heart failure, 10(1), 85-88. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ejheart.2007.10.010

Background: A low peak oxygen uptake (pV(O2)) and steep V-E/V-CO2 slope are independently associated with a worse prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). We wished to confirm whether combining these variables as a ratio would lead to...
