    How do faults in the calmodulin gene cause dangerous arrhythmias?

    University of Liverpool | Dr Nordine Helassa

    Many heart conditions run in families because they are caused by a fault or variation in our genetic code that is inherited through the generations. Some genetic faults increase the risk of developing irregular heartbeats – known as arrhyth...

  • Research links eating a large meal to detection of metabolic diseases

    Researchers have found a gene that redirects fats to be stored in organs, which is an early sign of metabolic disease and diabetes.

    Why are failing hearts more susceptible to atrial fibrillation?

    University of Manchester | Dr Katharine Dibb

    BHF-funded researchers in Manchester are investigating what underlies the link between heart failure and atrial fibrillation. People with heart failure often develop a common heart rhythm problem, called atrial fibrillation, which signif...

    Understanding the genetic control of healthy heart development

    University College London | Dr Vishwanie Budhram-Mahadeo

    Heart defects are the main causes of stillbirths or deaths in newborn babies. However, the causes of such defects are not fully understood. Our genes act like instructions for the development of the heart, but molecular signals are requir...
