Personalised pacemaker programming
Device
People with heart failure are sometimes fitted with pacemakers to regulate their heart rhythm.
However, even with a pacemaker, people often experience breathlessness and fatigue during physical activity.
This project aims to develop a cost-effective technique for measuring the best programming for pacemakers that will make exercise easier for people.
This has the potential to significantly improve quality of life for these people and allow them to carry out more activity in their day to day lives.
The development of a new AI-supported model for imaging the heart based on data from over 700 people with atrial fibrillation, allow ablation to be more personalised to individual patients.
Bringing together patients and medical professionals to establish a partnership aimed at identifying areas of priority in adult cardiac surgery, to better inform clinicians and make heart surgery safer for patients.
Developing an AI-assisted computer programme to identify whether a conduction system pacing (CSP) procedure has been successful, which will allow more patients to benefit from this innovative pacemaker technology.
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.
