Effect of exercise on sleep and cardiopulmonary parameters in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension (2021)
Journal Article
Atef, H., & Abdeen, H. (2021). Effect of exercise on sleep and cardiopulmonary parameters in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension. Sleep and Breathing, 25(4), 1953-1960. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11325-020-02286-9

Background
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is considered to be a rare progressive disease resulting from restricted flow through the pulmonary arterial circulation resulting ultimately in right-sided heart failure. Most patients with PAH suffe... Read More about Effect of exercise on sleep and cardiopulmonary parameters in patients with pulmonary artery hypertension.

Journal Article
Metcalfe, R. S., Atef, H., Mackintosh, K., McNarry, M., Ryde, G., Hill, D. M., & Vollaard, N. B. (2020). Time-efficient and computer-guided sprint interval exercise training for improving health in the workplace: A randomised mixed-methods feasibility study in office-based employees. BMC Public Health, 20, Article 313. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-020-8444-z

Background
The efficacy of high-intensity interval training (HIT) as a time-efficient exercise strategy for beneficially modifying risk factors for cardiovascular disease has repeatedly been demonstrated in controlled laboratory settings. However, t...

Subjective versus objective assessments of sleep among middle aged male patients after coronary artery bypass grafting: A correlational study (2019)
Journal Article
Atef, H., Helmy, Z., Ahmed Farghaly, A., & Elameen, S. (2019). Subjective versus objective assessments of sleep among middle aged male patients after coronary artery bypass grafting: A correlational study. Sleep and Hypnosis, 21(3), 254-263. https://doi.org/10.37133/Sleep.Hypn.43326

Sleep quality is a complex construct to evaluate empirically, and yet the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is commonly used in studies as their only measure of sleep quality. Furthermore, the PSQI may not be the best sleep quality measure for old...
