Who gets stroke prevention? Stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients in the inpatient setting. (2014)
Journal Article
Gallagher, R., Roach, K., Sadler, L., Belshaw, J., Kirkness, A., Zhang, L., …Neubeck, L. (2015). Who gets stroke prevention? Stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients in the inpatient setting. Heart, Lung and Circulation, 24(5), 488-494. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hlc.2014.12.010

Background: current guidelines strongly recommend antithrombotic therapy, particularly warfarin, for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients at high risk of stroke. Despite this, use of these medications is far from optimal. The aim of... Read More about Who gets stroke prevention? Stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation patients in the inpatient setting..

Cost-effectiveness analysis of screening for atrial fibrillation in pharmacies using an iPhone handheld ECG (SEARCH-AF). (2014)
Journal Article
Lowres, N., Salkeld, G., Neubeck, L., Martinez, C., Wallenhorst, C., & Freedman, S. B. (2014). Cost-effectiveness analysis of screening for atrial fibrillation in pharmacies using an iPhone handheld ECG (SEARCH-AF). European Heart Journal, 35, 1032

Purpose: Identifying unknown atrial fibrillation (AF) in the community and subsequent anti-thrombotic treatment could reduce stroke burden. We aimed to determine the cost-effectiveness of community screening for unknown AF, using an iPhone ECG with a...

iPhone ECG screening by practice nurses and receptionists for atrial fibrillation in general practice: the GP-SEARCH qualitative pilot study. (2014)
Journal Article
Orchard, J., Freedman, S. B., Lowres, N., Peiris, D., & Neubeck, L. (2014). iPhone ECG screening by practice nurses and receptionists for atrial fibrillation in general practice: the GP-SEARCH qualitative pilot study. Australian Family Physician, 43(5), 315-319

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is often asymptomatic and substantially increases stroke risk. A single-lead iPhone electrocardiograph (iECG) with a validated AF algorithm could make systematic AF screening feasible in general practice. Metho...

Profile of atrial fibrillation inpatients: cardiovascular risk factors and cardiac rehabilitation programme delivery and referral patterns: atrial fibrillation inpatient profile (2014)
Journal Article
Gallagher, R., Zhang, L., Roach, K., Sadler, L., Belshaw, J., Kirkness, A., Proctor, R., & Neubeck, L. (2015). Profile of atrial fibrillation inpatients: cardiovascular risk factors and cardiac rehabilitation programme delivery and referral patterns: atrial fibrillation inpatient profile. International Journal of Nursing Practice, 21(6), 749-755. https://doi.org/10.1111/ijn.12337

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is increasingly common; however, the cardiovascular risk factor profile and the patterns of delivery and referral to cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in this population are poorly described. We conducted an audit of medical record...

A simple screening tool for assessment of nutritional status in cardiac patients. (2014)
Journal Article
Neubeck, L., Lowres, N., Jackson, A., Freedman, B., Briffa, T., Bauman, A., & Redfern, J. (2014). A simple screening tool for assessment of nutritional status in cardiac patients. British Journal of Cardiac Nursing, 9(10), 508-512. https://doi.org/10.12968/bjca.2014.9.10.508

Background: Two-thirds of Australians do not meet nutritional recommendations. Unfortunately, nutritional screening is often overlooked in cardiac assessments, possibly because of competing time demands and perceived complexity of nutritional assess...

Choice of health options in prevention of cardiovascular events for people with atrial fibrillation (CHOICE-AF): a pilot study. (2014)
Journal Article
Lowres, N., Redfern, J., Freedman, S. B., Orchard, J., Bennett, A. A., Briffa, T., …Neubeck, L. (2016). Choice of health options in prevention of cardiovascular events for people with atrial fibrillation (CHOICE-AF): a pilot study. European Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 15(1), 39-46. https://doi.org/10.1177/1474515114549687

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, is associated with high risk of stroke and significant health burden. Recent emerging evidence suggests that modifying risk factor profiles of people with AF may assist to redu...

Time to get help? Acute myocardial infarction and delay in calling an ambulance. (2014)
Journal Article

Acute myocardial infarctions (AMI) are experienced by approximately 50,000 Australians annually and are one of the most common causes of Emergency Department presentations in developed countries worldwide. If symptoms are acted on promptly, and prese... Read More about Time to get help? Acute myocardial infarction and delay in calling an ambulance..

Health-related quality of life in atrial fibrillation patients over 65 years: A review (2014)
Journal Article

Atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia affecting 1–2% of the population; the prevalence of atrial fibrillation increases with ageing. The condition is associated with high morbidity and mortality, as well as reduced healt... Read More about Health-related quality of life in atrial fibrillation patients over 65 years: A review.
