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.
Early detection of diabetes using blood vessels
Investigating the potential of a new drug in patients who have experienced a heart attack, aimed at preventing the dangerous cardiac remodelling that often leads to the heart progressing into failure.
Investigating whether including arm-crank exercise training into the rehabilitation process for spinal cord injury patients can improve their heart health and protect against heart disease for a high-risk population.
MIRACLE2 -improved care for out of hospital cardiac arrest
Evaluating the effectiveness of a personalised strategy for angina care compared to current UK guidelines, in a large, multi-centre trial, to improve patient experience and outcomes, and NHS resource use.
Establishing a database of all patients diagnosed with cardiovascular disease in Northern Ireland since 2008, to link with existing cancer and stroke data with the aim of improving cross-disciplinary care.
Blood vessel damage in COVID-19
Investigating heart transplantation procedures, comparing the two fluids used to preserve the heart during transport to see which one is better at reducing the risk of the heart being rejected.
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.
