Screening for sedentary behaviour in cardiac rehab. (2016)
Journal Article
Rogerson, M. C., Le Grande, M. R., Murphy, B. M., Neubeck, L., & Jackson, A. C. (2016). Screening for sedentary behaviour in cardiac rehab. British Journal of Cardiac Nursing, 11(4), 198-199. https://doi.org/10.12968/bjca.2016.11.4.198

Sedentary behaviour is on the rise, particularly among people with cardiovascular disease. Here, Michelle Rogerson and colleagues examine the risks of this behaviour, the presence and absence of guidelines, and incorporation of screening during cardi...

Waist circumference in coronary heart disease versus type-two diabetes (2016)
Journal Article
Shi, W., Neubeck, L., & Gallagher, R. (2016). Waist circumference in coronary heart disease versus type-two diabetes. British Journal of Cardiac Nursing, 11(4), 173-178. https://doi.org/10.12968/bjca.2016.11.4.173

Obesity-related chronic illness is an international health issue. Waist circumference can assess central adiposity, which is strongly associated with cardiovascular disease and type two diabetes mellitus. Aim: This study evaluates the effectivenes...

Falling cholesterol trend at acute coronary syndrome presentation is strongly related to statin use for secondary prevention. (2016)
Journal Article
Chan, T., Dabin, B., Hyun, K., Ranasinghe, I., Neubeck, L., Aliprandi-Costa, B., …Freedman, S. B. (2016). Falling cholesterol trend at acute coronary syndrome presentation is strongly related to statin use for secondary prevention. International Journal of Cardiology, 212(1), 192-197. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijcard.2016.03.038

Background: Lifestyle changes are believed responsible for temporal trends of reduced population total cholesterol (TC), but it is uncertain whether this applies to patients with known coronary heart disease (CHD) often prescribed lipid lowering ther...

Validation of Fitbit-Flex as a measure of free-living physical activity in a community-based phase III cardiac rehabilitation population (2016)
Journal Article
Alharbi, M., Bauman, A., Neubeck, L., & Gallagher, R. (2016). Validation of Fitbit-Flex as a measure of free-living physical activity in a community-based phase III cardiac rehabilitation population. European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, 23(14), 1476

Background: Accurate physical activity monitoring is important for cardiac patients. Novel activity monitoring devices may enable precise measurement of physical activity. This study aimed to validate Fitbit-Flex against Actigraph accelerometer for m...

Self-monitoring for atrial fibrillation recurrence in the discharge period post-cardiac surgery using an iPhone electrocardiogram (2016)
Journal Article
Lowres, N., Mulcahy, G., Gallagher, R., Ben Freedman, S., Marshman, D., Kirkness, A., …Neubeck, L. (2016). Self-monitoring for atrial fibrillation recurrence in the discharge period post-cardiac surgery using an iPhone electrocardiogram. European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 50(1), 44-51. https://doi.org/10.1093/ejcts/ezv486

OBJECTIVES Postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) occurs in 25–40% of patients following cardiac surgery, and is associated with a significant increased risk of stroke and mortality. Routine surveillance is not performed post-discharge; however, re...

Facilitating or getting in the way? The effect of clinicians' knowledge, values and beliefs on referral and participation. (2016)
Journal Article
Gallagher, R., Neubeck, L., Du, H., Astley, C., Berry, N. M., Hill, M. N., & Clark, R. (2016). Facilitating or getting in the way? The effect of clinicians' knowledge, values and beliefs on referral and participation. European Journal of Preventive Cardio

Background: Despite the compelling evidence of the benefits of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on risk factor modification, quality of life and mortality reduction, a significant proportion of eligible patients are not referred or do not participate. Fac... Read More about Facilitating or getting in the way? The effect of clinicians' knowledge, values and beliefs on referral and participation..

Development of an integrated e-health tool for people with, or at high risk of, cardiovascular disease: the consumer navigation of electronic cardiovascular tools (CONNECT) web application. (2016)
Journal Article
Neubeck, L., Coorey, G., Peiris, D., Mulley, J., Heeley, E., Hersch, F., & Redfern, J. (2016). Development of an integrated e-health tool for people with, or at high risk of, cardiovascular disease: the consumer navigation of electronic cardiovascular tools (CONNECT) web application. International Journal of Medical Informatics, 96, 24-37. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmedinf.2016.01.009

Background: Cardiovascular disease is the leading killer globally and secondary prevention substantiallyreduces risk. Uptake of, and adherence to, face-to-face preventive programs is often low. Alternativemodels of care are exploiting the prominence...
