Taxation and life expectancy in Western EuropeP J Bagger
Imperial College and Cardiothoracic Directorate, Hammersmith Hospital, London, UK
Cent Eur J Public Health 12:113-4. 2004..The study suggests that tax burden should be considered among the multiple factors influencing life expectancy...
Influence of socioeconomic status on survival after primary aortic or mitral valve replacementJ P Bagger
United Kingdom Heart Valve Registry, Cardiothoracic Directorate, Hammersmith Hospital, London, UK
Heart 94:182-5. 2008..We sought to evaluate whether socioeconomic status influences outcome after first-time single aortic or mitral valve replacement...
Enhanced external counterpulsation does not alter arterial stiffness in patients with anginaFrances Dockery
Section of Geriatric Medicine, Imperial College, Hammersmith Hospital, London, UK
Clin Cardiol 27:689-92. 2004..Other than an initial reduction in blood pressure, the sustained clinical benefit seen with this therapy is unlikely to be effected through alterations in arterial wall mechanical properties...
Excess coronary artery bypass graft mortality among women with hypothyroidismDlear Zindrou
Cardiothoracic Directorate, Hammersmith Hospital, London, England
Ann Thorac Surg 74:2121-5. 2002..CONCLUSIONS: Women on thyroxine replacement therapy undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting had an increased mortality rate. We speculate that insufficient thyroid hormone replacement could partly play a role in this outcome...

Cardiothoracic Directorate, Faculty of Medicine, Imperial College School of Science, Technology and Medicine, Hammersmith Hospital, London W12 0NN, UK
Lancet 359:1747-8. 2002..Our findings suggest that a low haemoglobin concentration is a marker of disease severity or comorbidity that has a major effect on survival rate...
