Combining warfarin and antiplatelet therapy after coronary stenting in the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events: is it safe and effective to use just one antiplatelet agent?
Michael C. Nguyen,Yean L. Lim,Antony Walton,Jeffrey Lefkovits,Giancarlo Agnelli,Shaun G. Goodman,Andrzej Budaj,Dietrich C. Gulba,Jeanna Allegrone,David Brieger +9 more
TL;DR: There was no difference in mortality or myocardial infarction at 6 months in the single vs. dual antiplatelet group and larger trials are needed to assert any firm recommendations.

Increased Central Nervous System Monoamine Neurotransmitter Turnover and Its Association With Sympathetic Nervous Activity in Treated Heart Failure Patients
Gavin W. Lambert,David M. Kaye,Jeffrey Lefkovits,Garry L. Jennings,Andrea G. Turner,Helen Cox,Murray D. Esler +6 more
TL;DR: An association between the degree of activation of central monoaminergic neurons and the level of sympathetic nervous tone in the heart was identified in treated patients with heart failure, andphrine neurons in the brain may contribute to the sympathoexcitation that is seen in this condition.

Dion Stub,Jeffrey Lefkovits,Jeffrey Lefkovits,Angela Brennan,Diem Dinh,R. Brien,Stephen J. Duffy,Nicholas Cox,Voltaire Nadurata,David J Clark,Nick Andrianopoulos,Richard W. Harper,John J McNeil,Christopher M. Reid,Christopher M. Reid +14 more
TL;DR: The VCOR registry is a clinical cardiac registry that commenced data collection in 2013, providing a detailed description of selected aspects of contemporary cardiology clinical practice in a majority of Victorian hospitals, which enables hospitals and cardiac units to benchmark their practice, clinical outcomes and quality of care to other similar units and hospitals across the state.

Regional epinephrine kinetics in human heart failure: evidence for extra-adrenal, nonneural release
David M. Kaye,Jeffrey Lefkovits,Helen Cox,G. Lambert,Garry L. Jennings,Andrea G. Turner,Murray D. Esler +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that nonadrenal tissues contribute significantly to the whole body epinephrine release rate in heart failure and that this may arise from a site other than sympathetic neurons.

Sex Differences in Prehospital Delays in Patients With ST-Segment-Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Percutaneous Coronary Intervention.
J. Stehli,Diem Dinh,M. Dagan,Stephen J. Duffy,Stephen J. Duffy,Stephen J. Duffy,Angela Brennan,Karen Smith,Karen Smith,Emily Andrew,Emily Andrew,Ziad Nehme,Ziad Nehme,Christopher M. Reid,Christopher M. Reid,Jeffrey Lefkovits,Jeffrey Lefkovits,Dion Stub,Sarah Zaman,Sarah Zaman,Sarah Zaman +20 more
TL;DR: Men with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction experience delays in reperfusion compared with women with little data on each time component from symptom onset to reperceptibility.
