Women are 50% more likely than men to be given incorrect diagnosis following a heart attack
Women have a 50% higher chance than men of receiving the wrong initial diagnosis following a heart attack, according to a new study we part-funded at the University of Leeds.

Why am I always tired
BHF Senior Cardiac Nurse, Regina Giblin, explains how lack of oxygen to the heart and medicine side effects can cause long-term tiredness in people with heart and circulatory conditions.

Ensuring future cardiac stem cell therapies work safely and in tandem with patients’ heart cellsUniversity of Surrey | Dr Patrizia Camelliti
Stem cells show great promise for repairing scarred heart tissue after a heart attack. One option for future therapies is to transplant new heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) that have been made from stem cells, onto the damaged area. For ...

Developing a better way to diagnose different types of heart failureImperial College London | Professor Peter Weinberg
As the heart contracts, it generates a wave of increased blood flow through our arteries. As it relaxes, flow decreases. Studies have shown that analysing these ‘arterial waves’ could help distinguish between two types of heart failure - ...

Could non-coding RNAs offer hope to people with pulmonary hypertension?University of Edinburgh | Professor Andrew Howard Baker
BHF Professor Andrew Baker and his colleagues at the University of Edinburgh are studying the importance of non-coding RNAs in pulmonary hypertension, a condition where the pressure rises in the blood vessels in the lungs, which can ultimat...

Can microRNAs help to restore blood flow in peripheral arterial disease?University of Edinburgh | Dr Andrea Caporali
Dr Andrea Caporali is finding out if a molecule called microRNA-26b could treat critical limb ischaemia, a condition where blood flow to the limbs is restricted because the blood vessels become blocked. Critical limb ischaemia is a severe ...

Sequencing every step in the transformation of stem cells into heart cellsUniversity of East Anglia | Professor Andrea E Munsterberg
Researchers are untangling the complex genetic interactions during heart cell development, to underpin stem cell treatments for heart disease. When the heart develops in the embryo, stem cells quickly change to become early heart cells, ...

A protein WISP-1 may reduce the risk of aneurysm formationUniversity of Bristol | Professor Sarah Jane George
Professor Sarah Jane George and colleagues at the University of Bristol have been awarded a 3-year grant to demonstrate the role of a protein called WISP-1 in reducing the risk of aneurysm formation. An aneurysm is a localized, balloon-...

New genetic clues point to new treatments for 'silent' stroke
BHF-funded researchers have identified new genetic clues in people who’ve had small and ‘silent’ strokes that are difficult to treat and a major cause of vascular dementia.
