Department of Cardiology, Western Infirmary, Glasgow, UK
Am Heart J 141:800-7. 2001..When added to ACE inhibitors, angiotensin II type 1 (AT1) antagonists may allow more complete blockade of the RAAS and preserve the beneficial effects of bradykinin accumulation not seen with AT1 receptor blockade alone...
The prognostic use of right heart catheterization data in patients with advanced heart failure: how relevant are invasive procedures in the risk stratification of advanced heart failure in the era of neurohormones?R S Gardner
Department of Cardiology, University of Glasgow, Glasgow, UK
J Heart Lung Transplant 24:303-9. 2005..This study reconsiders the use of right heart catheterization data and compares their use to that of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), a neurohormone linked with prognosis in chronic heart failure...

Clinical Research Initiative in Heart Failure, West Medical Building, University of Glasgow, Scotland
Am Heart J 138:1126-32. 1999..We sought to determine whether titration of vasodilator therapy according to plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) concentration may be of value in the individual optimization of vasodilator therapy in CHF...

West of Scotland Rotation, Glasgow, UK
Eur J Heart Fail 4:753-6. 2002..Morphine has long been used to relieve symptoms in acute failure, but there is little evidence about this potentially useful palliative therapy in CHF...
