Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 111(6), 1167-1176. https://doi.org/10.1160/th14-03-0231

Atrial fibrillation (AF) causes a third of all strokes, but often goes undetected before stroke. Identification of unknown AF in the community and subsequent anti-thrombotic treatment could reduce stroke burden. We investigated community screening fo...

Choice of health options in prevention of cardiovascular events for people with atrial fibrillation (choice-af) pilot study (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Neubeck, L., Orchard, J., Redfern, J., Freedman, S. B., Gallagher, R., Zhang, L., & Lowres, N. Choice of health options in prevention of cardiovascular events for people with atrial fibrillation (choice-af) pilot study

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia. AF increases the risk of stroke 5-7 fold, and strokes are generally severe or fatal. People with AF have multiple cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, yet few programs have test...

A randomised controlled trial of a consumer-focused e-health strategy for cardiovascular risk management in primary care: the Consumer Navigation of Electronic Cardiovascular Tools (CONNECT) study protocol (2014)
Journal Article
Redfern, J., Usherwood, T., Harris, M. F., Rodgers, A., Hayman, N., Panaretto, K., …Peiris, D. (2014). A randomised controlled trial of a consumer-focused e-health strategy for cardiovascular risk management in primary care: the Consumer Navigation of Electronic Cardiovascular Tools (CONNECT) study protocol. BMJ Open, 4(2), Article e004523. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2013-004523

Introduction Fewer than half of all people at highest risk of a cardiovascular event are receiving and adhering to best practice recommendations to lower their risk. In this project, we examine the role of an e-health-assisted consumer-focused strate...
