Progression of myocardial remodeling and mechanical and dysfunction in the spontaneously hypertensive rat
(American Physiological Society, 2012-09-21)The progression of hypertensive heart disease (HHD) to heart failure (HF) is associated with myocardial remodeling. Corresponding changes in three-dimensional organization of cardiac extracellular matrix have not been ... -
Redefining normal reference ranges for echocardiography: a major new individual person data meta-analysis
(2013)Current recommended reference ranges for echocardiographic measurements may not be relevant to the diverse world population they are applied to. A new study, the echocardiographic normal reference ranges of the left heart ... -
Redefining normal reference ranges for echocardiography: a major new individual person data meta-analysis
(Oxford University Press, 2012-08-07)Current recommended reference ranges for echocardiographic measurements may not be relevant to the diverse world population they are applied to. A new study, the echocardiographic normal reference ranges of the left heart ... -
Regional differences in echocardiography provision in New Zealand—results from the 2013 SCANZ Workforce Survey
(New Zealand Medical Association, 2015-01-30)Summary A 2013 survey of NZ public hospital echocardiography services demonstrates unequal regional distribution relating to regional population size and demographics (age, ethnicity and socioeconomic status). Additionally ... -
Relationship of serum sodium concentration to mortality in a wide spectrum of heart failure patients with preserved and with reduced ejection fraction: an individual patient data meta-analysis
(2012)Hyponatraemia (usually defined as a serum sodium concentration,135 mmol/L)1 is observed in 20% of patients admitted to hospital for heart failure (HF).2 – 4 Studies conducted in various patient populations of chronic ... -
Review : heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
(JGC, 2013-12-27)Progressive aging of the population and prolongation of life expectancy have led to the rising prevalence of heart failure (HF). Despite the improvements in medical therapy, the mortality rate of this condition has remained ... -
Role of echocardiographic left ventricular mass and carotid intima-media thickness in the cardiovascular risk assessment of asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
(2011)Background: Standard cardiovascular (CV) risk assessment may underestimate risk in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Cardiac and vascular imaging to detect subclinical disease may augment risk prediction. This ... -
Screening for left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the community
(2011)Background: Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease and is common among patients with type 2 diabetes. However, no systematic screening for LVH is currently recommended for patients ... -
The survival of patients with heart failure with preserved or reduced left ventricular ejection fraction: an individual patient data meta-analysis
(2011)Heart failure is a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and arises as a consequence of many cardiovascular conditions, including coronary artery disease (CAD), valve disease, and hypertension. Heart ... -
Which cardiovascular risk factors are associated with cardiovascular disease and predict future events in advanced age in New Zealand?
(2012)One potential impact of population ageing is increased health-care costs particularly devoted to cardiovascular disease (CVD). In New Zealand, between 2001 and 2003, 53% of deaths of those aged 85 years and older (also ...
