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.
Analysing blood samples from COVID-19 patients who have ongoing heart inflammation, to understand what causes this and to help develop new treatments to protect against heart damage during COVID-19 recovery.
Detecting heart failure before it happens
Investigating whether modern, new pacemakers lead to less symptoms and improved quality of life, compared to traditional pacemakers, to provide guidance for the management and treatment of patients with pacemakers.
Investigating how different types of platelets in heart disease patients contribute to blood clot formation, informing future treatment strategies to prevent these dangerous clots that can lead to heart attacks.
