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.
Atrial fibrillation risk score for stroke patients
Apnoea & Arrhythmias
Exploring how exercise and scarring of the heart’s upper chamber affects the risk of atrial fibrillation in veteran athlete populations, to understand the condition further and better protect against risks.
Exploring new treatment strategies that aim to repair the body’s ability to break down blood clots, to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke in acute coronary syndrome patients.
Investigating what causes plaque built-up in the blood vessels to break down and form clots, which can cause heart attacks or stroke, to develop new ways to treat coronary heart disease.
Working with Sikh communities to develop a healthier version of langar – a holy food prepared in Gurdwaras, to improve health in a population who are at higher risk of heart disease.
Utilising a new technology to make MRI scans of the heart faster, to increase the number of scans available and make them more accessible to a wider group of patients.
Fast, accurate scanning of the heart is essential to determine what type of treatment babies with CHD need, and to effectively monitor the condition going forward.
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.
