Improvement in myocardial deformation but not structural indices in adults born preterm following a prescribed aerobic exercise intervention: a randomized clinical trial Open
Background People born preterm (<37 weeks’ gestation) have a potentially adverse cardiac phenotype that progresses with blood pressure elevation. We sought to determine whether preterm-born adults with elevated and stage 1 hypertension exh…

Left ventricular assessment with artificial intelligence increases the diagnostic accuracy of stress echocardiography Open
Aims To evaluate whether left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and global longitudinal strain (GLS), automatically calculated by artificial intelligence (AI), increases the diagnostic performance of stress echocardiography (SE) for cor…

Postpartum blood pressure self-management following hypertensive pregnancy: protocol of the Physician Optimised Post-partum Hypertension Treatment (POP-HT) trial Open
Introduction New-onset hypertension affects approximately 10% of pregnancies and is associated with a significant increase in risk of cardiovascular disease in later life, with blood pressure measured 6 weeks postpartum predictive of blood…

Fully automated left ventricular ejection fraction and global longitudinal strain predicts obstructive coronary artery disease in patients undergoing stress echocardiography: a multi-centre study Open
Background Assessment of LVEF and myocardial deformation with GLS has shown promise in predicting CAD, which may add prognostic information for patients undergoing SE. However, selection bias precludes an accurate assessment of routine cli…
