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.
Predicting the risk of sudden cardiac death
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.
Investigating the potential of hot water immersion as an alternative therapy for patients with hypertension undergoing cardiac rehabilitation, to see if it can lower blood pressure and improve heart health.
Utilising a specialised model that mimics heart attacks, to test a series of drugs aimed at a reducing blood clotting, with the goal of developing a new treatment option for acute coronary syndrome.
Utilising cutting-edge techniques to analyse samples from dilated cardiomyopathy patients, to understand why some patients respond better to treatment than others, with the aim of improving treatment decision-making.
Analysing samples from children who have received a new therapy following a heart transplant, to identify a pattern within the immune system that can predict for the long-term success of the surgery.
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.
Establishing whether a specific genetic variant may be linked to the development of issues with the heart muscle, to help determine individual risk for inherited cardiomyopathies in families.
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.
