Platelets are not all the same!
Aetiology
Platelets are small blood cells involved in blood clotting.
In people with heart disease, platelets are stickier than normal and can cause a blood clot to form, called a thrombosis, which can cause a heart attack.
This project aims to identify which type of platelet becomes stickier in patients with heart disease.
This information may allow the development of better treatments to prevent these blood clots and resultant heart attacks.
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.
