Predicting cardiovascular risks using pattern recognition and data mining.
… risk prediction models in the clinical domain of cardiovascular medicine. The data is modelled and classified by using a number of alternative pattern recognition and data mining techniques in both supervised and unsupervised learning methods. Specific investigated techniques include multilayer …

Data-Efficient Machine Learning with Applications to Cardiology
… order to be most effective. In domains such as medicine, large datasets are not always available, and thus there is a need for data-efficient models that perform well even in limited data regimes. In this thesis, motivated by this need, we present four contributions to data-efficient machine …

Sex-specific computationally generated biomarkers for cardiovascular risk stratification post acute coronary syndrome
… there are data to suggest that women with cardiovascular disease have worse outcomes, poorer prognoses, and higher mortality rates than men. Determining the risk of future adverse cardiovascular events for women who have previously suffered an ACS is therefore a problem of paramount …

Clinical foundations and information architecture for the implementation of a federated health record service
… a live clinical environment in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Whittington Hospital in North London. This implementation experience has fed back into the conceptual development of the approach and has provided "proof-of-concept" verification of its completeness and practical …

The Epicardium as the Conductor of Cardiovascular Cells in Cardiac Regeneration
… for cardiac repair is a field of regenerative cardiovascular medicine that is emerging as a promising therapeutic alternative to heart transplantation in patients suffering from chronic heart failure. Although promising, challenges to cell therapy for cardiac repair remain, including cell …

THE UTILITY OF PULSE PRESSURE MEASURED BY RADIAL ARTERIAL TONOMETRY IN DETERMINING CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE IN ADULTS
Elevated brachial PP is a surrogate measure for increased arterial stiffness and is associated with increased LVM and CHF. Pulse wave indices from radial arterial tonometry may be superior measures of arterial stiffness sequela compared to PPb. Relations of increased PPr with increased LVM in a …

Towards Rheumatic Heart Disease vaccine development: Defining host immune responses to Group A Streptococcal infection in Cape Town
… around 72%. Study III, published in Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine 2021, provides evidence confirming that a recent GAS infection is associated with increased levels of antibody titres to GAS antigens, SLO and DNase B in cases of ARF in comparison to controls. The study further indicates …

The epidemiology of hypercapnic respiratory failure
… in association with a range of respiratory, cardiovascular, metabolic and neurological disorders, either alone or in combination. Most of the current literature is limited to case series with specific underlying diagnoses or in receipt of a particular medical intervention. There have been no …

Studies into novel therapies for the treatment of inflammatory artery disease
… inflammatory mediators underpinning these cardiovascular diseases. In the first chapter, the role of the pro-inflammatory and pro-oxidant enzyme myeloperoxidase (MPO) in inflammatory artery disease was studied. A clinical study showed that while circulating plasma MPO levels were not …
