Zhou, Q, Henein, M, Coats, A, Gibson, D
BACKGROUND—Ventricular activation is often abnormal in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, but its specific effects on timing remain undetermined. OBJECTIVE—To investigate the use of the...
Exercise capacity in chronic heart failure is related to the aetiology of heart disease

Wasting as an independent predictor of mortality in patients with cystic fibrosis
Sharma, R, Florea, V, Bolger, A, Doehner, W, Florea, N, Coats, A, ...
BACKGROUND—Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common life threatening autosomal recessive disorder in the white population. Wasting has long been recognised as a poor prognostic marker in CF. Whether...
BACKGROUND—The size of the heart assessed by cardiothoracic ratio on chest radiography is often used as a screening test for the presence of heart failure and for assessing its...
Cachexia in malaria and heart failure: therapeutic considerations in clinical practice
Onwuamaegbu, M, Henein, M, Coats, A
Cachexia is an independent prognostic marker of survival in many chronic diseases including heart failure and malaria. Morbidity and mortality from malaria is high in most of the third world where it...
