Cardiac Rehabilitation: Unraveling the Complexity of Referral and Current Models of Delivery (2017)
Journal Article
Astley, C. M., Neubeck, L., Gallagher, R., Berry, N., Du, H., Hill, M. N., & Clark, R. A. (2017). Cardiac Rehabilitation: Unraveling the Complexity of Referral and Current Models of Delivery. Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing, 32(3), 236-243. https://doi.org/10.1097/jcn.0000000000000332

Evidence-based guidelines recommend strategies for reducing risk factors for secondary prevention of acute coronary syndromes, yet referral to and completion of programs to deliver this advice are poor. In this article we describe the complexity of f... Read More about Cardiac Rehabilitation: Unraveling the Complexity of Referral and Current Models of Delivery.

Incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation recurrence in patients discharged in sinus rhythm after cardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis (2017)
Journal Article
Lowres, N., Mulcahy, G., Jin, K., Gallagher, R., Neubeck, L., & Freedman, B. (2018). Incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation recurrence in patients discharged in sinus rhythm after cardiac surgery: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Interactive Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, 26(3), 504-511. https://doi.org/10.1093/icvts/ivx348

Post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is associated with increased stroke risk and mortality post-discharge. POAF is often considered transient, however recurrence is likely under-recognized as symptoms are an unreliable guide. Surveillance post-...

Mobile Technology Use Across Age Groups in Patients Eligible for Cardiac Rehabilitation: Survey Study (2017)
Journal Article
Gallagher, R., Neubeck, L., Roach, K., Sadler, L., Glinatsis, H., Belshaw, J., Kirkness, A., Zhang, L., Gallagher, P., Paull, G., Gao, Y., Partridge, S. R., & Parker, H. (2017). Mobile Technology Use Across Age Groups in Patients Eligible for Cardiac Rehabilitation: Survey Study. JMIR mHealth and uHealth, 5(10), https://doi.org/10.2196/mhealth.8352

Background: Emerging evidence indicates mobile technology–based strategies may improve access to secondary prevention and reduce risk factors in cardiac patients. However, little is known about cardiac patients’ use of mobile technology, particularly...

Acculturation is associated with higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors among Chinese immigrants in Australia: Evidence from a large population-based cohort (2017)
Journal Article
Jin, K., Gullick, J., Neubeck, L., Koo, F., & Ding, M. (2017). Acculturation is associated with higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors among Chinese immigrants in Australia: Evidence from a large population-based cohort. European Journal of Preventive Cardiology,

Background: Acculturation is associated with increased prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk-factors among immigrants in Western countries. Little is known about acculturation effects on CVD risks among Chinese immigrants, one of the fastes...

Background: Globally, attendance at cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is between 15-30%. Alternative models of individualised care are recommended to promote participation in CR, however there has been no prospective testing of different duration of such m...
