Presentation / Conference Contribution
Neubeck, L., Gallagher, R., Ingram, K., Celermajer, D., Schumacher, T., Ferry, C., Buckley, T., Redfern, J., Chow, C., Tofler, G., & Figtree, G. (2016, August). MyHeartMate: Development of a digital game to improve secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Presented at 64th Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand Annual Scientific Meeting and the International Society for Heart Research Australasian Section Annual Scientific Meeting, Adelaide, Australia

Background and aim: Low participation in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) means alternative strategies are urgently required to ensure secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Digital games promote behaviour change in other diseases, however,... Read More about MyHeartMate: Development of a digital game to improve secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease..

Poster abstract

Introduction
Post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is associated with increased mortality and risk of stroke post-discharge. POAF is often thought to be transient, however recurrence is likely under-recognized as symptoms are...
