Can the Internet help people with cardiovascular disease? (2013)
Journal Article
Neubeck, L. (2013). Can the Internet help people with cardiovascular disease?. International Journal of Clinical Practice, 67(10), 929-931. https://doi.org/10.1111/ijcp.12181

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death and disability globally, and worryingly it is those with existing disease who are at greatest risk of further events, hospitalisations and death [1]. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programm... Read More about Can the Internet help people with cardiovascular disease?.

Fog on the crystal ball? Missing atrial fibrillation in forecasting the future of stroke (2013)
Journal Article
Neubeck, L., Orchard, J., & Freedman, S. B. (2013). Fog on the crystal ball? Missing atrial fibrillation in forecasting the future of stroke. Stroke, 44(10), e136-e136. https://doi.org/10.1161/strokeaha.113.002495

The policy statement by the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association1 on the future of stroke highlights not only the increasing costs of stroke but also, importantly, what might be done to reduce that burden. It makes an important... Read More about Fog on the crystal ball? Missing atrial fibrillation in forecasting the future of stroke.

Tweeting our way to cardiovascular health. (2013)
Journal Article
Redfern, J., Ingles, J., Neubeck, L., Johnston, S., & Semsarian, C. (2013). Tweeting our way to cardiovascular health. Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 61(15), 1657-1658. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jacc.2013.01.041

This study illustrates the emerging role of Twitter as a medium by which cardiovascular health information and education can be disseminated quickly, efficiently, and on a worldwide scale. Our study illustrates that Twitter not only encompasses healt... Read More about Tweeting our way to cardiovascular health..

Screening to identify unknown atrial fibrillation: a systematic review. (2013)
Journal Article
Lowres, N., Neubeck, L., Redfern, J., & Freedman, S. B. (2013). Screening to identify unknown atrial fibrillation: a systematic review. Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 110(2), 213-222. https://doi.org/10.1160/th13-02-0165

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a significantly increased stroke risk which is highly preventable with appropriate oral anticoagulant therapy (OAC). However, AF may be asymptomatic and unrecognised prior to stroke. We aimed to determine i... Read More about Screening to identify unknown atrial fibrillation: a systematic review..

iPhone ECG application for community screening to detect silent atrial fibrillation: a novel technology to prevent stroke. (2013)
Journal Article
Lau, J. K., Lowres, N., Neubeck, L., Brieger, D. B., Sy, R. W., Galloway, C. D., …Freedman, S. B. (2013). iPhone ECG application for community screening to detect silent atrial fibrillation: a novel technology to prevent stroke. International Journal of Cardiology, 165(1), 193-194. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcard.2013.01.220

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia, and its prevalence increases with age. In those aged 65 or older, screening studies reveal the prevalence (in AF at time of screening) to be 4.4%, with 1.4% of those having previously...

Screening education and recognition in community pHarmacies of atrial fibrillation to prevent stroke (SEARCH-AF Stroke Prevention Study) (2013)
Journal Article
Lowres, N., Neubeck, L., Redfern, J., McLachlan, A., Krass, I., Bennett, A., …Freedman, S. (2013). Screening education and recognition in community pHarmacies of atrial fibrillation to prevent stroke (SEARCH-AF Stroke Prevention Study). Heart, Lung and Circulation, 22(1), S223. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.hlc.2013.05.532

BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with a high risk of stroke and may often be asymptomatic. AF is commonly undiagnosed until patients present with sequelae, such as heart failure and stroke. Stroke secondary to AF is highly preventa...
