Heart failure is thought to affect around 1 million people in the UK. Unfortunately, due to symptoms often not appearing until the heart failure is quite advanced, it can be diagnosed very late, reducing the chance for early treatment.

The aim of this project is to investigate the incidence of heart failure and develop new methods to detect heart failure at an early stage so that treatments can be given to prevent progression of the disease.

This will improve quality and duration of life for people with heart failure.
