Journal ArticleDOI
Mid-region pro-hormone markers for diagnosis and prognosis in acute dyspnea : results from the BACH (Biomarkers in Acute Heart Failure) trial
Alan S. Maisel,Christian Mueller,Richard M. Nowak,W. Frank Peacock,Judd W. Landsberg,Piotr Ponikowski,Martin Möckel,Christopher Hogan,Alan H.B. Wu,Mark Richards,Paul Clopton,Gerasimos Filippatos,Salvatore Di Somma,Inder S. Anand,Leong L. Ng,Lori B. Daniels,Sean-Xavier Neath,Robert H. Christenson,Mihael Potocki,James McCord,Garret Terracciano,Dimitrios Th. Kremastinos,Oliver Hartmann,Stephan von Haehling,Andreas Bergmann,Nils G. Morgenthaler,Stefan D. Anker +26 more
TL;DR: MR-proANP is as useful as BNP for AHF diagnosis in dyspneic patients and may provide additional clinical utility when BNP is difficult to interpret, and MR-proADM identifies patients with high 90-day mortality risk and adds prognostic value to BNP.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physician-Directed Patient Self-Management of Left Atrial Pressure in Advanced Chronic Heart Failure
Jay Ritzema,Richard W. Troughton,Iain Melton,Ian Crozier,Robert N. Doughty,Henry Krum,Anthony Walton,Philip B. Adamson,Saibal Kar,Prediman K. Shah,Mark Richards,Neal L. Eigler,James S. Whiting,Garrie J. Haas,J. Thomas Heywood,Chris Frampton,William T. Abraham +16 more
TL;DR: Physician-directed patient self-management of left atrial pressure has the potential to improve hemodynamics, symptoms, and outcomes in advanced heart failure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of sexually abusive behaviour in sexually victimised males: a longitudinal study
Daniel C. Salter,Dean McMillan,Mark Richards,Tiffany Talbot,Jill Hodges,Arnon Bentovim,Richard P. Hastings,Jim Stevenson,David Skuse +8 more
TL;DR: Most male victims of child sexual abuse do not become paedophiles, but particular experiences and patterns of childhood behaviour are associated with an increased risk of victims becoming abusers in later life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma amino-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide and accuracy of heart-failure diagnosis in primary care: a randomized, controlled trial.
Susan P. Wright,Robert N. Doughty,A. Pearl,Greg D. Gamble,Gillian A. Whalley,Helen J. Walsh,Gary B. Gordon,Warwick Bagg,Helen C. Oxenham,Timothy G. Yandle,Mark Richards,Norman Sharpe +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that N-BNP measurement significantly improves the diagnostic accuracy of HF by GPs over and above customary clinical review.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison of B-Type Natriuretic Peptides for Assessment of Cardiac Function and Prognosis in Stable Ischemic Heart Disease
Mark Richards,M. Gary Nicholls,Eric A. Espiner,John G. Lainchbury,Richard W. Troughton,John Elliott,Chris Frampton,Ian Crozier,Timothy G. Yandle,Robert N. Doughty,Stephen MacMahon,Norman Sharpe +11 more
TL;DR: In stable IHD, BNP and NTproBNP display strong and near-identical test performance in ruling out severely reduced LVEF and in prediction of all-cause mortality or heart failure despite significant effects of age, gender, and renal function on levels of both markers.
