We will not stop until there are no more deaths from heart diseases. To date, we have committed over £34m to fund more than 350 medical research projects across the UK.
Establishing a digital archive of three-dimensional, holographic heart models, from a collection of abnormal hearts to serve as educational tools for clinicians and students, for the study of congenital heart disease.
Testing the feasibility of a specialist-designed diet and exercise rehabilitation programme for coronary microvascular dysfunction patients, to help them maintain a healthy lifestyle and reduce their risk of heart attacks.
Trialling a remote exercise programme for women who have had a spontaneous coronary artery dissection to determine what safe levels of exercise are, for people recovering from serious heart conditions.
Analysing blood samples, immune cell levels, and placenta structure during pregnancy, to gain insights into how congenital heart disease occurs, how it can be diagnosed earlier, and potential treatment options.
Understanding how ageing heart cells affect recovery after a heart attack
Smart alerts for atrial fibrillation
Developing a new test to measure the levels of desmosine in the body, which are higher when there is damage to the aorta, to diagnose aortic dissection more quickly.
Using AI to predict aortic aneurysm rupture
Translational Research Project Grants aim to bridge the gap between laboratory-based scientific research and patient care.
NET grants are research projects which focus on the development of new and innovative technologies to diagnose, treat and prevent heart diseases.
PhD studentships give exceptional students the opportunity to gain the knowledge, skills and expertise needed for a career as a research scientist. Clinical and non-clinical PhD studentships can be applied for.
