Influence of ejection fraction on cardiovascular outcomes in a broad spectrum of heart failure patients

SD Solomon, N Anavekar, H Skali, JJV McMurray… - Circulation, 2005 - Am Heart Assoc
Background— Left ventricular function is a principal determinant of cardiovascular risk in
patients with heart failure. The growing number of patients with preserved systolic function …

Right ventricular dysfunction and risk of heart failure and mortality after myocardial infarction

LAM Zornoff, H Skali, MA Pfeffer… - Journal of the American …, 2002 - jacc.org
Objectives : The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of right ventricular (RV)
function in patients after a myocardial infarction (MI). Background : Right ventricular …

Influence of nonfatal hospitalization for heart failure on subsequent mortality in patients with chronic heart failure

SD Solomon, J Dobson, S Pocock, H Skali… - Circulation, 2007 - Am Heart Assoc
Background— Patients with chronic heart failure (HF) are at increased risk of both fatal and
nonfatal major adverse cardiovascular events. We used data from the Candesartan in Heart …

[HTML][HTML] Moving beyond the hazard ratio in quantifying the between-group difference in survival analysis

…, M Takeuchi, Y Uyama, L Zhao, H Skali… - Journal of clinical …, 2014 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
In a longitudinal clinical study to compare two groups, the primary end point is often the time
to a specific event (eg, disease progression, death). The hazard ratio estimate is routinely …

Cardiac positron emission tomography enhances prognostic assessments of patients with suspected cardiac sarcoidosis

…, P Kazemian, RY Kwong, M Tokuda, H Skali… - Journal of the American …, 2014 - jacc.org
Objectives : This study sought to relate imaging findings on positron emission tomography (PET)
to adverse cardiac events in patients referred for evaluation of known or suspected …

Two‐Dimensional Assessment of Right Ventricular Function: An Echocardiographic–MRI Correlative Study

NS Anavekar, D Gerson, H Skali, RY Kwong… - …, 2007 - Wiley Online Library
Background: While echocardiography is used most frequently to assess right ventricular (RV)
function in clinical practice, echocardiography is limited in its ability to provide an accurate …

Body mass index and prognosis in patients with chronic heart failure: insights from the Candesartan in Heart failure: Assessment of Reduction in Mortality and …

…, SJ Pocock, D Wang, PV Finn, LAM Zornoff, H Skali… - Circulation, 2007 - Am Heart Assoc
Background— In individuals without known cardiovascular disease, elevated body mass
index (BMI) (weight/height 2 ) is associated with an increased risk of death. However, in …

Changes in ventricular size and function in patients treated with valsartan, captopril, or both after myocardial infarction

SD Solomon, H Skali, NS Anavekar, M Bourgoun… - Circulation, 2005 - Am Heart Assoc
Background— Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors have been shown to attenuate
left ventricular (LV) enlargement in association with reducing mortality after myocardial …

Prognostic implications of left ventricular mass and geometry following myocardial infarction: the VALIANT (VALsartan In Acute myocardial iNfarcTion) …

A Verma, A Meris, H Skali, JK Ghali, JMO Arnold… - JACC: Cardiovascular …, 2008 - jacc.org
Objectives : This study sought to understand prognostic implications of increased baseline
left ventricular (LV) mass and geometric patterns in a high risk acute myocardial infarction. …
