TL;DR
British nursing has notched up many successes in the past decade; nursing practice has shifted from a task centred approach towards personalised care; other innovations have improved the quality of care; and research and critical thinking are flourishing; against this backdrop, understanding why Christine Hancock should find herself leading the Royal College of Nursing in an assault on the government may be difficult.

Health Professions
New England Journal of MedicineVentricular Arrhythmias in Patients with Hypertensive Left Ventricular Hypertrophy
582 Citations1987James M. McLenachan, Esther Henderson +2 more
The data suggest that complex ventricular arrhythmias occur commonly in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy and may contribute to the higher incidence of sudden death in these patients.
The American Journal of MedicinePrevalence and natural history of electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy
405 Citations1983William B. Kannel
Electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy with repolarization criteria more than doubles the risk of hypertension alone and carries a greater risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality than cardiac enlargement, and is a harbinger of serious cardiovascular disease.
New England Journal of MedicineThe Doctor–Nurse Game Revisited
387 Citations1990Leonard I. Stein, David T. Watts +1 more
From observations, the author is convinced that there have been major changes in the doctornurse relationship over the past two decades.
The LancetAssociation of angiotensinogen gene T235 variant with increased risk of coronary heart disease
300 Citations1995Tomohiro Katsuya, George Koike +8 more
It is concluded that the T235 polymorphism of the angiotensinogen gene is an independent risk factor, which carries an approximately two-fold increased risk of CHD.
CirculationAnatomic validation of left ventricular mass estimates from clinical two-dimensional echocardiography: initial results.
277 Citations1983Nathaniel Reichek, J Helak +3 more
Results compare favorably with reported results from biplane angiography and M-mode echocardiography in more symmetric hearts and suggest regression-corrected 2-D echo be the method of choice for determining LV mass in man.
Gender And The Professional Predicament in Nursing
270 Citations1995Charlotte Aull Davies, Celia Davies
The LancetASSESSMENT OF LEFT-VENTRICULAR MASS AND ITS RESPONSE TO ANTIHYPERTENSIVE TREATMENT
222 Citations1982Dewi K. Rowlands
Systolic blood pressure appears to be an important factor in the pathogenesis of LV hypertrophy, and in hypertensive patients changes in LV mass assessed by echocardiography correlate with changes in blood pressure.
Journal of the American College of CardiologyInfluence of contemporary versus 30-year blood pressure levels on left ventricular mass and geometry: The Framingham Heart Study
143 Citations1991Michael S. Lauer, Keaven M. Anderson +1 more
To determine whether long-term blood pressure levels correlate with left ventricular mass, echocardiographic measurements were performed in 152 men and 299 women who were participants in the Framingham Heart Study.
The American Journal of CardiologyPrognostic value of left ventricular mass in uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction and one-vessel coronary artery disease
94 Citations1994Leonardo Bolognese, Pierfranco Dellavesa +4 more
The data suggest that LV mass is an important independent risk factor in patients with uncomplicated acute myocardial infarction associated with 1-vessel CAD.
BMJWith nurse practitioners, who needs house officers?
91 Citations1995Sally Dowling, Sheila Barrett +1 more
The study points to the need for strategic issues--such as the development of appropriate education and the professional recognition of these new clinical roles--to be addressed at a national and regional level.
The American Journal of CardiologyClinical significance and prognostic importance of left ventricular hypertrophy in non-Q-wave acute myocardial infarction
54 Citations1988William E. Boden, Robert E. Kleiger +4 more
It was concluded that, although patients with LV hypertrophy and non-Q-wave AMI have smaller enzymatic infarcts and the same short-term prognosis as do patients without LVhypertrophy, their reinfarction and mortality rates are significantly increased during the first year of follow-up.
PubMedPathophysiology of myocardial perfusion in hypertension.
48 Citations1991David G. Harrison, Melvin L. Marcus +3 more
Many of the consequences of myocardial infarction are worsened in the setting of hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy, most likely through the release of potent vasoconstrictor substances from leukocytes and platelets that adhere to the endothelium as a result of endothelial damage.
Journal of the American College of CardiologyRegional myocardial volume alterations induced by brief repeated coronary occlusion in conscious dogs
28 Citations1988Masatoshi Fujita, Atsushi Mikuniya +3 more
Findings suggest the occurrence of regional myocardial hypertrophy confined to the ischemic area in response to the periodic isChemic stimulus is suggested.
BMJHas nursing lost its way? Dual perspective
18 Citations1995Jacki Short
It was with a mixture of pride and trepidation that I rounded the final bend and drove up to the same psychiatric hospital that had seen my arrival as a student nurse, but this time as a senior registrar in psychiatry.
