Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Cardiology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internal medicine, Cardiology, Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and Sudden death. Internal medicine is a component of his Heart disease, Heart failure, Dilated cardiomyopathy, Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia and Right ventricular cardiomyopathy studies. William J. McKenna has included themes like Transplantation and Risk factor in his Heart failure study.

His work carried out in the field of Cardiomyopathy brings together such families of science as Ejection fraction, Myocarditis, Pathology, Myocardial infarction and Myocyte. His Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy research incorporates elements of Mutation, Muscle hypertrophy, Left ventricular hypertrophy and Atrial fibrillation. He works mostly in the field of Sudden death, limiting it down to topics relating to QRS complex and, in certain cases, PR interval.

His most cited work include:

  • Report of the 1995 World Health Organization/International Society and Federation of Cardiology Task Force on the Definition and Classification of cardiomyopathies. (2578 citations)
  • 2014 ESC Guidelines on diagnosis and management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy The Task Force for the Diagnosis and Management of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) (2051 citations)
  • Diagnosis of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy/Dysplasia Proposed Modification of the Task Force Criteria (1967 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary scientific interests are in Internal medicine, Cardiology, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, Cardiomyopathy and Sudden death. Heart failure, Heart disease, Sudden cardiac death, Right ventricular cardiomyopathy and Dilated cardiomyopathy are among the areas of Internal medicine where the researcher is concentrating his efforts. His studies deal with areas such as Autoantibody and Myocarditis as well as Dilated cardiomyopathy.

His work on Ventricular tachycardia, Electrocardiography and Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia is typically connected to In patient as part of general Cardiology study, connecting several disciplines of science. His work deals with themes such as Genetics, Muscle hypertrophy, Endocrinology, Left ventricular hypertrophy and Disease, which intersect with Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. His study in Cardiomyopathy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Penetrance, Gene mutation and Pathology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (69.72%)
  • Cardiology (62.89%)
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (42.24%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Internal medicine (69.72%)
  • Cardiology (62.89%)
  • Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (42.24%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of investigation include Internal medicine, Cardiology, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, Cardiomyopathy and Sudden cardiac death. Internal medicine and Pathology are commonly linked in his work. William J. McKenna has included themes like Magnetic resonance imaging and Gene mutation in his Cardiology study.

His Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy study combines topics in areas such as Left ventricular hypertrophy, Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, Mitral valve, Atrial fibrillation and Muscle hypertrophy. In his research, Penetrance and Genetic testing is intimately related to Disease, which falls under the overarching field of Cardiomyopathy. William J. McKenna has researched Sudden cardiac death in several fields, including Asymptomatic, Retrospective cohort study and Cohort.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • 2014 ESC Guidelines on diagnosis and management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy The Task Force for the Diagnosis and Management of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) (2051 citations)
  • Current state of knowledge on aetiology, diagnosis, management, and therapy of myocarditis: a position statement of the European Society of Cardiology Working Group on Myocardial and Pericardial Diseases. (1146 citations)
  • A novel clinical risk prediction model for sudden cardiac death in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM Risk-SCD) (492 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Cardiology

William J. McKenna mainly focuses on Internal medicine, Cardiology, Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and Sudden cardiac death. The various areas that he examines in his Internal medicine study include Magnetic resonance imaging and Gene mutation. His Cardiomyopathy research incorporates themes from Prospective cohort study and Dilated cardiomyopathy.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Left ventricular hypertrophy, Sudden death, Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, Retrospective cohort study and Atrial fibrillation. The Sudden death study combines topics in areas such as Genetics and TNNT2. His Sudden cardiac death research integrates issues from Fibrosis, Myocardial fibrosis, Predictive value of tests, Cause of death and Sudden cardiac arrest.
