Lifestyle risk reduction interventions in atrial fibrillation: a systematic review (2011)
Journal Article
Lowres, N., Neubeck, L., Freedman, S. B., Briffa, T., Bauman, A., & Redfern, J. (2012). Lifestyle risk reduction interventions in atrial fibrillation: a systematic review. European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, 19(5), 1091-1100. https://doi.org/10.117

Background: The burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) is escalating even though it is potentially modifiable. Affected persons, at high risk of stroke and death, are typically not targeted for risk reduction. We aimed to determine if risk-factor interve...

Participating in cardiac rehabilitation: a systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative data (2011)
Journal Article
Neubeck, L., Freedman, S. B., Clark, A. M., Briffa, T., Bauman, A., & Redfern, J. (2012). Participating in cardiac rehabilitation: a systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative data. European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, 19(3), 494-503. doi:1

Background: Participation in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) benefits patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), yet worldwide only some 15–30% of those eligible attend. To improve understanding of the reasons for poor participation we undertook a sys...

Temporal change in pre-hospital statin use and total cholesterol levels in patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes. (2011)
Journal Article
Ranasinghe, I., Freedman, B., Neubeck, L., Costa, B., Devlin, G., Lefkovits, J., …Brieger, D. (2011). Temporal change in pre-hospital statin use and total cholesterol levels in patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes. Heart, Lung and Circulation, 20(2), S56. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hlc.2011.05.142

We assessed if patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) were better treated with statins prior to hospitalisation and the effect on total cholesterol (TC) with time.

Recent temporal changes in lipid management and serum cholesterol after acute coronary syndromes. (2011)
Journal Article
Neubeck, L., Redfern, J., Briffa, T., Bauman, A., & Freedman, S. (2011). Recent temporal changes in lipid management and serum cholesterol after acute coronary syndromes. Heart, Lung and Circulation, 20(2), S249. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hlc.2011.05.611

Lipid lowering is of paramount importance in the prevention of recurrent cardiovascular events. Our original CHOICE (Choice of Health Options In prevention of Cardiovascular Events) trial demonstrated significant benefit in lowering total cholesterol...

Four-year follow-up of the Choice of Health Options In prevention of Cardiovascular Events randomized controlled trial (2011)
Journal Article
Neubeck, L., Freedman, S., Briffa, T., Bauman, A., & Redfern, J. (2011). Four-year follow-up of the Choice of Health Options In prevention of Cardiovascular Events randomized controlled trial. European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitati

Objective: To determine if the improved risk factor profile at 1 year attributed to the Choice of Health Options In prevention of Cardiovascular Events (CHOICE) program was maintained at 4 years. Design: Single-blind randomized controlled trial with... Read More about Four-year follow-up of the Choice of Health Options In prevention of Cardiovascular Events randomized controlled trial.
