IMPACCT team shows strength in cardiovascular research

3 August 2018

Researchers from the Improving Palliative, Aged and Chronic Care through Clinical Research and Translation (IMPACCT) research centre are presenting their work at the 66th Annual scientific meeting of the Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand (CSANZ) from Thursday 2 – Sunday 5 August in Brisbane. The CSANZ is the professional body for cardiologists and those working in the area of cardiology; this includes researchers, health professionals and other healthcare workers.

Associate Professor Sally Inglis, chair of the Cardiovascular Nursing Council and ex officio Board member of CSANZ, is presenting on the management and outcomes of peripheral arterial disease as well as a chairing sessions on the new Australian guidelines for atrial fibrillation and heart failure, released on Thursday 2 August by the Heart Foundation. She is also nominated as a mentor for a mentoring program being launched at CSANZ this year.

Associate Professor Louise Hickman, a finalist in the Multidisciplinary nursing prize session is presenting her work on “Screening for mild cognitive impairment in patients with heart failure identifies increase healthcare utilization and activities of daily living: A cross-sectional study” undertaken in partnership with her colleagues  Professors, Phillips, J.L, Macdonald, P.S., Davidson, P.M. & Newton, P.J. Associate Professor Hickman is also presenting on “A systematic review of successful elements of interventions for heart failure patients with mild cognitive impairment” with co-authors Davidson, P.M., Parker, D., Ferguson, C., Allida, S., Inglis, S., & Agar, M. Both these presentations highlight the needs of caring for older people with heart failure and cognitive impairment.

Dr Luna Xu, a Post Doctoral Research Fellow working with Prof Debra Parker, is presenting on the links between breakfast cereals and cardiovascular diseases using the 45 and Up Study. This research found that the associations between different types of cereals and cardiovascular risks are mixed, it also highlighted that breakfast muesli was beneficial to reduce the development of high blood pressure and heart diseases among older Australians.

Dr Serra Ivynian is the inaugural recipient of a the 2018 Henry Krum Memorial Travel Grant to present at the ESC Heart Failure congress in Vienna, Austria, in May this year. Her research offers a comprehensive understanding of what influences patients to seek professional care for their symptoms of heart failure and likewise, what factors may lead to delayed care-seeking.

Dr Sabine Allida is presenting research which has investigated the use of chewing gum to relieve thirst in chronic heart failure.

Kevin Koo, a UTS Medical Science Honours graduate, is presenting his honours work on invasive tele-monitoring via two poster presentations. The first looks at the evidence of invasive telemonitoring of heart failure patients using a Cochrane-style systematic review while the second examines the attitudes and perspectives of cardiovascular health professionals in Australia and New Zealand towards emerging implantable devices.

Glenn Paull, a PhD student, is a finalist for the Cardiovascular Nursing Prize. He is presenting a poster on self-care support needs of patients and their carers across the heart failure illness trajectory: a mixed methods longitudinal study.

Julee McDonagh, NSW Health Scholarship recipient, is presenting a poster on her PhD research about the Frailty Measurement in Hearth Failure Study (FRAME-HF). The study looks at the most common frailty assessment instrument used in heart failure, which is Frailty Phenotype.

Roslyn Prichard is presenting a poster and mini-oral abstract presentation on her PhD research on advanced heart failures management with ventricular assist therapy-evaluating Australian costs of care and effectiveness from implant, to transplant or end of life.
